Can verify: I work at a research laboratory and I can't tell you how many Trump stickers I have seen on bumpers. These are people who mostly have either an engineering masters or a science PhD, and they still believe in fairy tales like voting works.

Engineering is the most chud of all academic fields. Beyond the engineering stemlord aspect, there’s a lot of military money floating around.

There’s some similar things with bio fields and pharmaceutical/bioengineering money.
