re: Are People Liberal; or Conservative By Nature?

My very basic level analysis:

I think children are born conservative. They naturally have the take what is mine mindset. They are capitalists. That capital is in the form of fruit roll-ups, attention from mom and the daily bluey vs amazing spider man tv show battles.

They are taught to have more liberal ideas such as sharing and "everybody gets a turn" type stuff. I'm about as conservative as they come but even I enforce that with siblings. Very socialist concept that spills over into other areas of life for their little developing brain.

Once they become adults and understand the complexities and effects of being conservative/liberal most realistic people lean conservative. There was a time in the not so distant past that conservatives and liberals had the same goals (equal opportunity and access). We just had different paths of getting to that common goal. Now our end goals aren't the same unfortunately. Picking a side has become more important kids.
