Is there a link between growing up an only child and supporting the democrat party?

Seems like they have a lot of similar quirks.

No.

Last week my 10 year old daughter was reading a list of silly HOA rules. Out of nowhere she said: “HOAs are the dumbest thing I’ve heard of. Only a democrat could thing up something this stupid.”

Later she thanked her mother and I for moving out of Madison because “they would’ve made me a communist by now.”

I would say the link is less about being an only child and more towards picking a retarded woman to be the mother of your children.

Probably.

Liberal parents are probably statistically more likely to have one child. They're also companions of the child, so their values probably pass on even more easily.

I would also suspect some sort of liberal lean as a result of the lack of sibling dynamics - fighting, meritocracy, negotiation, lack of seriousness/humor, etc.

Yes, but that’s because of the heavy rates of broken homes in African American communities, and Blacks voting democrat at a 90% clip.

Like with a lot of things, it's parenting and environment.

My mom was retarded. But dad taught us how to handle it. You just let everything she says go in one ear and out the other. Nod your head in agreement every half minute to make her think you're listening. It worked. Bro and I grew up Republican.

I would think that only children likely lean conservative pretty strongly, actually.

Only children typically have a good relationship with their parents.

Liberal ideology through various positions they support either intentionally or by consequence effectively results in its strictest adherents rejecting meaningful relationships.

"Don't get married, don't have kids, don't be part of a religious community, if your mom/dad/uncle/grandma has the wrong views just cut her out of your life", etc.

Only children value relationships with their parents more because once they die they don't have siblings they grew up with to fall back on. They typically spend more time when they are younger either at church or with extended family. They value the type of relationships that liberals reject probably more than most demographic groups.
