Progressives Are Headed for Self-Imposed Extinction

You didn't read the article. It says that very few actually change their minds from what they were taught as children.

Right, and I'm sure you still believe that Santa Claus is real, don't you?

I don't really know which side you are on but I do find it funny that the left are always saying they want to deal in facts and then when you show them facts, they deny them.

So you do believe in Santa Claus?

Society influences people by shaping their attitudes, beliefs, behaviors, and thoughts through socialization (learning a culture), social interactions (with family, peers, and colleagues), and social institutions (like religion, government, and media). Key processes include conformity to social norms and expectations, obedience to authority, and the adoption of social roles, which can manifest as positive or negative outcomes depending on the societal context.

Family is only one of many aspects of society which influences people. And many of the social institutions which influence people have a much wider reach than an individual family does.

This is just one piece of the puzzle. While this birthrate difference may take generations to eliminate the democraps, their actions over the last 9 years have been doing immediate damage. The outright hypocrisy is doing immediate damage. The literal insanity they display is doing immediate damage. And the most important accelerant is Trump, who is hellbent on making the democraps irrelevant prior to the 2026 midterms, and very well may accomplish his goal. We should no longer fear the democraps, we should fear the GOP not having strong competition and reverting back to their old ways before Trump changed the party for the better.

I did read it. And the article doesn't acknowledge the wide range of social institutions which influence people.

Yes it does. The article specifically said that those places had little effect at changing someone's political perspective.
