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

    Perhaps Jordan Peterson can give you some tips about where to find rabid right-wing lunatics in academia.

        Well, he was. I think maybe he gave it up to become a professional right-wing grifter before dropping out of public life. Not only did he have a tenured position at a big university, he was also among the ringleaders of what they called the “intellectual dark web”. That brand is pretty much defunct by now, but it was big a few years ago and its function was indeed to bring attention to rabid right-wing lunatics in academia.
