Makes me wonder if this will change soon. I mean, look at the whole 'alt-right' thing, the readership on sites like Breitbart, The Donald subreddit, etc. They're not made up of older folk with religious tendencies any more, but young college students/graduates posting memes on social media sites.
I think it's quite possible we could see highly educated people become more conservative in the foreseeable future. Especially with all the comments about protests and social media shaming and crazy professors...
With the universities dominantly liberal (at least in the humanities departments), I wonder if the alt-right isn't a form of rebellion, kind of like punks with brightly-colored mohawks were a generation ago. We're going to pick something not just different, but something that you find repulsive.
