The OP means that kids raised by married parents have better life outcomes. The policy proposals that would follow from this (e.g. restricting divorce) are right-leaning positions outside the overton window.
But even beyond a specific policy proposal, there is a viewpoint in right-leaning circles that atomized individualism has caused lasting damage to the fabric of society and needs to be reigned in.
(NB: I can't speak to whether the claim that kids have better outcomes because their parents are married is actually true, as there are obvious confounders there)
- RangerScience 3y ago> (e.g. restricting divorce) I am so confused by the right. Aren't they usually in favor of things promoting freedoms, like freedom of association?
- epgui 3y ago> Aren't they usually in favor of things promoting freedoms Definitely not in a general sense. They place more importance on some freedoms than on others.
- Nasrudith 3y agoThe funny thing is that I see complaints most about individualism from the left. It might be something more obvious on a non-monoaxis model.
- epgui 3y agoHow can you know what OP meant? The best any of us can do is guess.
