Many academics I see online are leftist whereas many laypeople I see online are right wing.

    If you want right-wing academics, look at Economics (eg. Milton Friedman School), Classics, History, and CS. Not that any of those fields are dominated by the right, but there are pockets of them in those fields still.

      i can see economics being inhabited by conservatives they are after obsessed with wealth, and what better is to produce some pseudoscience.
