Random thoughts on the next generations

I was thinking how odd it is that many Millennials and GenZers are
embracing far-right and Christian Nationalist ideologies but then I
realized that their parents are also conservatives and they tend to
have far higher birthrates than the progressives, not to mention
these children of conservatives were more likely to be homeschooled
or educated in parochial or Christian schools.
This is a classic case of multiplication through children, just as
birth rates often correlate to the growth/decline of Christian
denominations.
This is happening all while the progressives have had fewer
children or no children at all over the past three decades.
At this rate, short of many young people defecting from their
parents' political ideology, the demographics alone will favor the
ultra-right-wing candidates in future elections.
This also nicely explains why they are now obsessed with conquering
the school systems across the U.S. Much of that defection occurs at
public schools and in colleges. Gaining control of school and
college boards and removing "woke" ensures their children's
continued ideological and religious loyalty.
