Disagree, it’s more that conservatives have kids younger and have more kids than liberals (spend more of their lives raising kids). They are also more susceptible to advertising and consume more media than older educated professionals having 2 kids in their mid to late 30s.

I agree that conservatives have more kids, and have them when they are younger. I'm not sure how that disagrees with anything I've said.

Haha reddit moment

I was just saying that having kids doesn’t turn people conservative. They were mostly conservative already.

Fair enough lol. Showing my bias.

I see what you mean, you are saying it may be that "conservatives are just more likely to be parents for various reasons, rather than people becoming more conservative after having kids."

Yeah I can agree with that, but why not both?

Idk, I'd have to look up some studies on it.
