If you don't, you will get failing grades by spiteful teachers and lose friends. This doesn't happen with people that support right-leaning views. This right here tells me everything I need to know about the people that support these views.
Modern America has plenty of "proclaim absolute loyalty to our group's canon or else" on both sides of the right/left divide. Maybe ask Congresswoman Liz Chaney for details?
Another part of the problem is the obsession with social media, and the "never forgets" nature of the internet. A half-ish century ago, on most campuses, your political/religious/philosophical beliefs could wander all over while you were at college, and it didn't much matter. Vs. now? My sense is that the kids all know a 24/7 lynch mob is waiting if they ever deviate from canon. And that studying the current canon, and stage-managing their professed views as that keeps changing, are their most critical tasks.

An article about a blog post about an opinion piece all uncritically calling this a “study”.

No information on who they surveyed, how they were selected, etc. The survey and results do not appear to be published in any scientific context.
Yet there’s people in here saying things like:

Really hard to reason about how to bring people back from this type of thinking.

Most people lie about what they believe. As a test compare what people say they believe to how they behave.
Oh please. Another dark money funded BS non profit from an asshole who’s anti-union, anti billionaire tax. They’re another PAC.
