    I see this going two ways:

    1. Video game boycott route. Lot of vocal support but not a lot of actual support.
    2. Selective breeding route. Right wing women have babies, left wing don’t. Oh shocker welcome to the theocracy.

    It deffo ain’t finna be some Lysistrata shit.

      You don’t pass politics genetically to your offspring.

        You don’t pass your religion genetically either but mysteriously most children grow up with the same one their parents did.

          WTF you really won’t go as far as non-separated at birth twin studies, will you.

          There is 100% confounding between nature and nurture when people grow up in the exact same niche with their siblings and parents. It is also notoriously difficult to separate the effects, even the so-called heritability index is probably statistical hokum. Twins separated at birth are your best go to separate the effects, and it is subject to criticism as well for confounding effects. Yet you go out in complete confidence and state that parent politics are hereditary. Ridiculous.

        You don’t need to pass it genetically, most behaviors are learned. Thats not to say that it’s deterministic, but statistically people are likely to have the same religious and political views as their parents.

      Your 2nd option assumes that there is always a majority that should make room for minorities, otherwise minorities will not exist? Because minorities have existed throughout history.
