Although not every kid votes for the same party as their parents, most do. And generally this swap trades places both ways, evenly.

- mindslight 6y agoKids generally see right through social delusions of their parents though. And what's driving the Republican party right now is echo chamber insanity. They won't simply follow in their parents' footsteps of getting riled up by conspiracy theories on faceboot. (disclaimer: The Democratic party certainly has its delusions as well, but they don't seem to be pathological at the moment)
