I went to college in Massachusetts with New Englanders who had never been west of the Hudson River and saw no reason to go. For them, Boston was the hub of the universe.
I think we understand that; They are very parochial or provincial -- geographically as well as philosophically. Others may construe their thinking as "Cultish." Ot "Stepford Wife-ish." Not that it's all that uncommon for liberals/progs.
The current day power brokers of whom you speak are more widespread than just New England. Back in Civil War times, they were also in New York and Pennsylvania in addition to New England.
Understood, but as a result of that same "parochial" mind set that was established long ago, they remain snobby New England cultists at heart and in spirit where ever they wind up. Their "base" remains the NE corridor from their beloved Bahston to DC. I imagine your frat parties must have been chock full of one insufferable jerk after another.

Actually no. There were students from all over the country in my fraternity. Our class in the fraternity included students from Arkansas, Tennessee, Florida, New Mexico, Washington state, Texas, Georgia, New York, Massachusetts, and overseas.
Some faculty members were liberal or even extremely liberal, at least in the humanities and economics departments and perhaps one or two other departments. The student body was more conservative. We were mostly science and engineering students. I watched a large crowd of students burn Fidel Castro in effigy on campus. The students recognized him for what he was, while the MSM of the day, like the NY Times, did not.
