Philip BumpParents are conservative … if their children are adults. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/07/03/elon-moms-for-liberty-gop/?itid=ap_philipbump
Jake Legg@pbump so this chart basically shows that old people are conservative and young people are liberal?

That's a well-worn trope... though there are exceptions. I'm Gen X (57), have 2 adult children, and I'm progressive verging on radical now. But in the '80s and '90s, I naively believed the neoliberal bullshit of the time and was center-right. Now I see trickle-down was a lie, the system is broken, and the planet is on fire because of extractivism, capitalism, colonialism. Rage against the machine, baby!👊🏽💪🏽

iar81b@pbump may be a generational thing as well. Parents with older children tend to be older themselves. Statistically speaking.

Stands to reason. These people are self absorbed, have no empathy for others. Republicans.

People who have an adult child are going to be older than people who have a non-adult child, and people without a child could potentially be significantly younger. Obviously there's a significant demographic spread, but I think the actual real variable is age and that this is so much masking that
