| Torillian said: In which case I would point you to the government which is currently right leaning nationally and locally on a grand scale. If being 50% to the far right but having more influence is the important part than I think conservatives having control over the executive, judicial and half the legislative branches is more meaningful than professors being liberal. To be fair this only relates to US politics but given the protests we're talking about were in Seattle that seems reasonable. |
I'd throw organized religion into that mix. Organized religion has been pushing right wing politics from the pulpits for decades. Organized religion doesn't have a great deal of bearing on life in Seattle or Vermont, but religious organizations are incredibly powerful in the South and Midwest.
