I think it's more of a bell curve, I know a few wealthy business owners who are straight up republicans, but most of the semi-rich STEM types I know are superficially leftists (although the more they earn the less they like the idea of taxes). However, all the PhD students/postdoc stage people are lib af and probably have reasonably high earning potential.

It's very anecdotal based on where you live. I'll tell you now rich land owners and landlords are republicans though.

This is likely because academia in it's entirety is lefty as all get out.

There was a group of people who submitted "scientific papers" that were bullshit (one was how male dogs raping female dogs was a sign of patriarchy, a lot of others were just excerpts of Mein Kampf with titles that affirmed lefty beliefs) to colleges. A lot of colleges took way too long to deny them, many passed several stages of approval, and a few literally got approved and published.

Academia is rampant with sucking their own leftist dick. You probably don't know any PhD students/postdoc stage people who are on the right because they either leave academia due to the discrimination or are silent about their beliefs.
