    decrease the number of Democrats and increase Republicans
    
    

    So you assume brain choices are inherited? They can be learned. But they aren’t hereditary. Plenty of people are related to people differing political opinions so I thought that would have been enough to be debunked as an assumption.

      You are right that you aren’t born with whatever politics, but they said that was her point, not that in practice it’s a direct thing. I’m sure it’s easier to instill Republican beliefs into someone born in a Republican family rather than Democrats or other political affiliations.

        I don’t know who you are arguing as if that wasn’t even mentioned.
