"...It is easy for Alex Behr to gush about her son, Eli, whom she describes as a generous and thoughtful college junior who had a serious skateboarding phase..."

Yeah. She wants him to stay in his "serious skateboarding phase" forever and not grow up. That is a typical Leftist mindset. They are all stuck in it themselves...unable to grow up.

Good for that guy. He is a man now.

Mr. Trump has for nearly a decade been a source of political divides within families,

Ah - Trump's fault. Not, of course, a doctrinaire mother who can't think beyond the bilge her newspaper vomits out. Good for the kid.

Old does not mean wise. If you are still a liberal past college, you are an irredeemable idiot.

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

The Democrats have been pushing every conceivable anti-male button for a long time now. They shouldn’t be shocked that young men are pushing back.

I never gave a Schiff what my parents politics were!
They taught/forced me to think for myself.
As it turns out I’m a lot more conservative than they were.

[Captain Peter Blood]

So she is mad that he is thinking for himself and figuring things out and is not going along with the same old Democratic Party line that has been preached to him for his entire life.
I would suggest that he and his parents find a way to coexist or they’re going to drive that son away from them maybe forever

“facts don’t matter to you,” Ms. Behr wrote in a moment of frustration during one text exchange about Mr. Trump’s legal battles. “love you. have a good day.”

So, basically - Eli's mom is a lawless Commie harpy who believes in using "the law" to go after her political enemies, much like her idol Uncle Joe Stalin did in the late 1930s...

My 18 year old grandson and all his buddies went MAGA. Couldn’t be better!

[Secret Agent Man]

Hard to imagine why any mom would wish her white son to be a liberal. Walked all over by everyone. To be chained to a woman who hates men in general, hates the handsome men who won’t select her, and has unearned contempt for the men she can get.

[Huskrrrr]

But if her son decided to change his gender she would be fine with that.

[gundog]

Always good to see a lib surprised when a kid rebels. What did you think they’d rebel against, hippie?

[Alas Babylon!]

Reminds me of Family Ties, A sitcom of the 1980s. Two hippies have kids And the oldest, Alex Keaton, played by a young Michael J Fox, is conservative and campaigns for Reagan!

[skr]

He apparently is still thoughtful and generous, despite his politics. Maybe she should just be happy he’s a decent person. Maybe she should watch some of the podcasts and videos he’s been watching and really listen to his viewpoint before arguing with him.

Someday, her son will put her in a crappy nursing home and she will wonder why he resents her.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

The next step for Eli is dip and chew.

[Leaning Right]

Stories like this one are both ridiculous and sad.

No magic word will turn a liberal into a conservative.
And no magic word will turn a conservative into a liberal.

Life is short. Enjoy time with your family and friends. Leave politics off the table.

Only reality - real experiences - will turn a liberal into a conservative. Let that happen naturally. It’s pretty much the only way.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Politically, there are two kinds of people, elitists and populists:

1. Elitists believe in unlimited government of, by and for an entitled, hereditary, autocratic political/bureaucratic class.

2. Populists believe in limited government of, by and for the people.

My libtard cousin had his 27 year-old son vote Trump

His son is in IT/programming and he’s lost two jobs already in his short career after university, to consultants moving operations offshore, or bringing in H1B migrants

The son is actually turning the father’s thinking.
