My parents are socialists and my brother and I are ultra-conservative. OTOH, nearly all of our close relatives, and their children, are democrats.
“My parents are socialists and my brother and I are ultra-conservative”
Same here. So? This is not an equal-ended dichotomy. The left is wrong, and we are right. You and I both saw that our parents were deluded in their politics.
But for conservative parents, it is always possible to ensure our children grow up right, because we have the right answers, the non-easy answers, the intellectual answers.
It’s much harder if the parents are away all the time, as may have been the case for Bush/Cheney/Reagan. Still, you have to find the time to bring up your kids right.
