You referenced your college experience which means you said something about your college experience. You were an unhappy "conservative" who you say was oppressed by liberals who you are certain "would gladly take away my freedom of expression, if not thought." Given the nonsense statement one can see why you may have been dismissed by intelligent people who have no such purpose or thought.
As to your "millions and millions" of up and coming conservatives I'm glad I engendered some perspective and hope to your state of conservative unhappiness. I submit this means each you and I can be uplifted entering the new year, 2019, so cheers all around. Yes there are millions and millions of conservatives in America but oops there aren't nearly enough or even as many millions and millions as you might like, want, need. Making matters worse over there is that Potus Donald Trump is a dagger to the heart of conservatism in America. I must say I couldn't have done myself what you guys yourselves have done to wreck conservatism in America.
Post #521 was a general commentary about the way conservatives are treated, particulalry in academia and the media. It has nothing to do with me or my own experiences. Perhaps you need to read it again as well as the post it was responding to. Oh, and conservatism is alive and well and will continue to be post-Trump. You are merely expressing your fondest hopes, not any fact. FWIW, more people self identify as conservative than liberal and this has been so for a good while.
