I think my kid is Alex P. Keaton
« on: June 04, 2022, 09:24:32 AM »
So family took this Pew Research poll that attempts to place you in a political ideology bucket, and my wife and daughter are like off the charts "Progressive Left," and I am an "Establishment Liberal."  My 14 year old so, however, is a "Committed Conservative."  He's a computer building, crypto mining, rocket enthusiast and modeler, math guy, agnostic, and Elon Musk lover....so basically a STEM version of a Koch brother. 

This is very difficult for his former social worker mother and debate team social justice elder sister to accept.  Good news is that he is a steadfast never-trump, and has a healthy disdain for the faith and flag crew. My son and I cool tho, and agreed on pro-business, strong defense, but he's more "small government" than me. I attribute this to him not having had as many sinister employers and clients as I have had.  I want the SEC tight on Elon's ass, and my son isn't so sure about that.

You must be very proud Pete, sounds like one hell of a kid.

If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

Outsider Left, which is fine because I simply cannot support the GOP anymore.

Ambivalent Right, because I can no longer support the GOP as it exists today and my “never Trump” vote for Biden gives me the depression.

Alex P Keeton is an all timer, although Nick is the best character on the show. Skippy had his moments too

I was expecting 'committed conservative' but I got 'ambivalent right'.
