But I do think republicanism and democraticism takes on religious type roles in people's identities in a way you don't see here. And much like religion declaring for a party is becoming less common amount young people.

Probably depends what your major is. The arts, humanities, and social sciences tend to skew more towards the left, but business, econ, engineering, etc., all seem to skew more to the right. That's been my experience anyways. Those faculties tend to also be predominantly white males, so it makes sense.
