Conservatives think university graduates are brainwashed because university graduates tend to disagree with brilliant conservative ideas like "trickle-down economics really works", "white supremacism is a reasonable and fair response to economic insecurity", "global warming is a hoax", "all the horrible things we did during the Cold War were totally worth it", "slavery wasn't so bad", "refugees are only coming here to rape your daughter and steal your Ford F-150", and "poor people make excellent fertilizer". And who could possibly disagree with such eminently luminous ideas if they weren't brainwashed, right?
