republicans....

Thanks for not using a specific party :D It's one thing if their family supported it, they researched it, and they agreed, and it's another thing if they blindly accepted it. It happens on both sides.

Ha, yeah. i stole it from an old Mad magazine, and they actually used "Republican party" but I changed it, as it does happen on both the far-left and far-right, and not just to American politics, either. And I agree with you, when I was first able to vote, my mother told me I'd better vote for the party my father was, as he earned the money for our family, and the election's outcome would effect his job. I talked to him, and it turns out he was intended to vote for the same party I was going to to; but there was a big difference in my mind in voting for them because I supported their policies, and voting for them simply because my father did.

But I also don't like it when people make the assumption that all you do is follow your family, when sometimes you may actually agree with them...

I know this topic is 8 years old, but ... YES ... there IS a genetic component. They were just talking about this on NPR the other day. Here's a link to an article about it: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-genes-of-left-and-right/
