    That’s still not definite proof. Having the same opinion as your parents in high school can change within 5 years, especially after entering college, getting smarter and making up your own mind about politics.

    I’m going to wait and see. As time goes by, we’ll get more information and we’ll have a clearer picture.

      He largely stayed around home though. I didn’t look up exactly where he grew up, but Dixie Tech is in the same county as he grew up, and he only spent one semester at the university at the other end of the state. Utah State isn’t very progressive either (they’re an agriculture-heavy school), and I doubt Dixie Tech is either (it’s a small technical college, not a full university).

      We’ll certainly get more information in the coming weeks, but my money is on him being radicalized by the far right.
