Why are people more likely to follow the polital views of their parents? This isn't always the case, But through my experiences I've found this to be about 95% true.
Any thoughts?

Unlike fashion or other social issues, politics just isn't that high on a young person's list of priorities (there are exceptions, of course), so they just go along with their parents.
This can change when they go to college, look at the demonstrations of the 60's.
However, I believe there is a genetic element to this. My dad is an old fashioned America First Hard Core Right Winger. I went through my hippie Liberal phase in college, but lately I've been defending old George W despite the opposition at every turn - It comes from the gut - I must defend! Must be a genetic component.

For the most area, I trust you. I have got here upon that trading thoughts and really listening to those with opposing viewpoints can commonly make me a minimum of take a 2d examine out an situation, even if it does no longer inevitably make me revise my opinion. The very last communicate we had in my tribe of this kind replaced into about unlawful immigrants and between the lads replaced into pointing out some little widely used yet very valid info about the monetary complications that we as a rustic ought to face if we absolutely did deport all unlawful immigrants. at the same time as it did not substitute my view, his arguments were valid and made me quite evaluate another factors that I had no longer been conscious of in the previous. It replaced right into a very exciting communicate. For the most area, I take excitement in such discussions if the oposite party can present day info and good theories. it really is taken into consideration needed to keep an open concepts and under no circumstances argue the factors yet communicate them. notwithstanding i'm nevertheless waiting to locate someone who can communicate competition to gay rights with me who does no longer carry faith into it. My idea is this, in case you do not listen what the different area is saying how are you going to have a real information of an situation.

I think that is a proven fact. There was an article in the Post not to long ago, saying that the liberals were failing to reproduce themselves so to speak. That might be why they depend on the immigrant vote.

My father is a yellow dog democrat and my mother is an independent. I am a libertarian conservative. Something happened. What is was, I don't know. I voted for Reagan my first time. And never regretted it.
