I’ve given this a lot of thought, and I think that I know the cause of the avalanche of leftists in society.
Over the years, the capitalist system has allowed families to accumulate more and more, while at the same time, allowing additional free time. This additional free time has led to people being able to work less, yet keep a comfortable life-style. That’s led to spending more time in school, learning “skills” that will never get them jobs in the real world, taught by people who haven’t the skills or ability to get jobs in the real world.
At the same time, the type of work by many has gotten easier, where there’s far less physical danger. And with the inherent parenting wish to protect the young from danger, we’ve seen more and more parents insulating their children from EVERY danger. Little kids no longer stick things into electrical outlets, or give any thought to traffic when playing outside. Historically, parents taught children to look both ways before running out into the street, but no more. The little brats are told by their parents that drivers would never dare run over their little darlings.
Those kids, who believe that it’s their right to play in the street, traffic be damned, manage to survive and grow up to find other booger eating morons with whom they breed, leading to an even dumber and more liberal generation.

Yowza! That cut to the quick.
Mind if I "borrow" your line to use? ;-)
If you can't appreciate the pure beauty of the violin after hearing this, something's wrong with your ears.Or you can get raw with these strings. Either way, the violin is sweet yet lethal.
Do it!
If they are playing in the street and sticking things into electrical sockets, how many of them can survive to reproduce? Wouldn’t you *prefer* thatthe children of Liberals dir in accidents, and the properl-raised children of Conservatives survive?
It almost sounds as if you’re saying that we should make sure that people don’t profit from their labor by getting more free time, lest they become Liberals. The capitalist system seems to have the seed of its own destruction in it, if it permits people to have more free time - and that free time inexorably leads to non-productive activities.For the Capitalist system to keep raising Conservatives, it should keep most people working all the time, AND make sure that their education teaches them that it is the only way for a civilized society to remain profitable.
In addition, limit education to “learning ‘skills’ that will ... get them jobs in the real world,” and not the other impractical ones. Get rid of useless things like literature, art, philosophy, and the other useless liberal arts. Even science that serves no earthly purpose - like astrophysics, archaeology, and paleography - shouldn’t be taught, since it makes dreamers instead of practical doers.
Have you got a suggestion for how to eradicate children’s love of stories and fairytales? How about for crushing people’s interest in poetry and romance? The “love of nature” that some people claim to feel simply gets in the way of developing natural resources; that better be stomped out, as well. There are so many impulses that can lead to leftism. How can we get rid of them all?
