Personally as a republican that tends to be more outgoing, I believe that many of my fellow republicans are simply afraid of the possible consequences of doing so. I do believe that there are those that are radical on both sides, like for example, there’s the alt-right including horrible organizations like the KKK or anti-Semite groups that are largely against minorities and other small groups. These groups seem to be the only parts of the right wing that get shown to people nowadays instead of the majority who hold morals and values without question in comparison to their alt-right cousins. So in essence, there may even be 25-30% of students who do identify with Republicanism.
