That would be hard to make. And if you find a solid one let me know I'm passively looking myself.
Why do I say it would be hard to make?
I came up with this thought about politics and religion specifically years ago that I think still holds true.
"It's hard to get people to think their way [around] positions they never really thought their way into"
Most people come by their politics by assimilating their family or communities, especially in college, and never really think to question.
It becomes a deep part of their identity.
And if you question their politics it's as if you are insulting them.
It's hard to have a solid conversation about a subject when both sides feel constantly personally attacked...
It's very hard to remove that element and speak clearly about ideas on their own merits.

I, without a doubt, formed my opinions largely because of my family (against my moderately-strong conservative family), not that much because of my community (my high school friends had very neutral political leanings), and definitely prior to college (high school). I feel that many opinions are formed by high school friend groups and rarely questioned beyond that and that community is only important in generally shaping that high school exposure and experience.
