My son is a senior in high school. He is a bright, funny, brilliant and oddly enough, very outspoken young man. I know, you're all shocked by the fact my offspring is mouthy. He also happens to be very conservative. Now, before any of the mouth-breathers who read me to complain at and about me start accusing me of brainwashing my kid, nothing could be further from the truth. See, as a parent, I realize trying to control how and what my kids think only drives them away. When they have questions about anything political, I send them the most unbiased information I can because I want them to make their own decisions.
Hey, it's easy when you know what is right and what is wrong. For example, my son asked me about the policies of Obama's first term. Now, I could have easily gone into some ranty diatribe about how much Obama sucked BUT I knew that wasn't what he was asking for so I sent him to the Obama Presidential Library. Two days later, he came back to me and said, 'Mom, that guy didn't do anything right.'
And I smiled because he came to that conclusion on his own.
I didn't influence or tell him what to think.
I also knew Obama really just sucked that much and only someone who is already indoctrinated with the Leftist agenda would think otherwise. And I've got news for our pals on the Left and in the Democratic Party ... my son is hardly unique. I mean he is, he's awesome and I love him more than myself, but his ideals and political persuasion are not. More and more young men are leaving the Democratic Party.
It's true:
Young men are leaving the Democratic Party:

- 2016: 51% of young men identified or leaned Democrat
- 2023: This number dropped to 39% pic.twitter.com/L67iMZoDe2
Wow.
A 12% drop.
BOO-YAH.
Guess spending years hearing Democrats tell them how little they matter, how they are a problem and to blame for everything and anything wrong with the country was finally enough to drive them away. How anyone can stand the modern-day Democratic Party is beyond me. All they do is hate, attack, hate, attack, and whine if they can't abort babies. They are truly the party of death, destruction, and envy.
And I can't tell you how grateful I am that my kid is smart enough to figure out it's not for him all on his own.
