I dont think this is a wild assumption.
It is well documented that financial support as well as the policies of the democratic party (Defund, UBI etc) is heavy in the FAANGs particularly FB and Google[1] Starting from that premise, one can assume that any sample drawn of a subpopulation that includes single employees will be heavily titled towards (D)[2]
Therefore, one notes that the same people that support most (D) platform policies today, are very much against parental benefits.
How to reconcile this?
Here is where we get to the uncomfortable zone:
Supporters of defund, UBI, BLM etc are happy... as long as the cost of said policies impose a burden that is at least as heavy on them, as everyone else.
However, when they are asked to sacrifice themselves only, they fail to report to duty.
In other words, their public position (everyone must show empathy to others) clashes with their private one (self empathy to their tribe)
Problem: when your private beliefs clash with your public persona, this invalidates your public persona, not your private beliefs.
