My daughter and her friends are very conservative. They love to skewer liberals with factual counter-arguments. Their opponents have never had their views challenged and become deer in headlights.
My kids are also very conservative. We hoomeschooled them and they learned what they believe and WHY. Most of their friends in church and the homeschool support groups we've belonged to are also quite conservative and most of them are also going to college, even public universities.
That's very funny.
