It's the internet that's indoctrinating people to become woke. I'm a Gen Zer, grew up with the internet, and there is SO much peer pressure to support the left, especially in the last 5 years.

What about an indirect effect? For example, say people who go college tend to delay or avoid entirely getting married and having kids, leading to more progressive views. In this sense, they're being indoctrinated not by ideas, but into a lifestyle.

This would be a longer lasting effect, or a delayed one. One cannot see this kind of thing in these surveys.

Yes, I'm crediting the survey findings (which I commend you for) and positing a different effect, which I think better captures observed patterns and what conservatives' concern is.
