I reckon you are correct. A lot of these guys are probably computer science, engineering, and marketing majors from non-elite unis. I was just playing around with the pwog-lib conceit that inoculating these types (or their offspring) with the sort of NPR-friendly middlebrow pabulum that passes for "higher education" is a tonic against creeping fascism. My words could have been more sociologically exact.
