He's also a member of some cult-style
money scam church, but has probably always been a righty.
LifePoint Church in Albertville, AL. Fundy Baptist, of course.
I don't know what it's like now, but at the time he was there, people with those types of views would probably not be very comfortable and would mostly be relegated to standing outside buildings in the cold a few social cuts below the smokers and people wearing NC State t-shirts.
That's very tolerant. Open misogynists did not fare so well at U of Montana

. I once got berated for the extremely mild headline on an article I wrote for a student activist newspaper because it was supposedly somehow sexist. I did not write the headline.

It is alienating to be a conservative in Chapel Hill. In many of my classes, the word “Republican” holds the same weight as the word “Duke” at best or “racist” at worst (as a classmate directly told me). In a bathroom stall in Lenoir (the main dining hall on campus), someone etched the words “It’s not okay to be a Republican because it harms people.”
That atmosphere makes me second-guess myself. Last fall, I threw on my Reagan-Bush sweatshirt before heading to a coffee shop to Zoom into class. I then panicked and kept my camera off, fearing that my sweatshirt might draw unwanted attention or backlash from a classmate or professor.
"Last fall" he still had a Reagan-Bush sweatshirt? Sheeesh, must be tatters.
Silly panicky Republican, as my brother informed me NO students have their cameras on during Zoom classes.
