My "deep in the kool aid" sister actually did this recently. We had a family get together and she refused to come, because my parents have started becoming more and more anti- liberal. Not even conservative, just critical of the democrats. That's enough to cut off contact.
One very noticeable trend with leftists I'm sure anyone honest will spot is they often come from Christian families and are very resentful of it.
I posted about this above, but I think most of those people are like my sister and they wildly misrepresent how much their parents pushed them towards Christianity.
It's just the excuse they use for being miserable cunts.
It's sometimes a little bit of both. There's often a fair bit of tunnel vision going on, just sort of goes hand in hand with such angst.
Parents can also sometimes be a little more heavy handed towards kids with regards to religion when they first learn that their kid is moving away from religion. Which is understandable, but also liable to spark some conflict and eventual resentment.
parents don't realise that unwittingly they can push their own anxieties onto their children
Yeah, I think I got a lot of my outlook on finances and spending from seeing my parents struggle a lot of the time not because they were broke, but because they were borrowing. Life was better before I was a teenager and we were just poor really. So, I guess in a way it's a positive, but not necessarily everyone will take it that way. I'm just a people watching observer that sponges it all up. It's not even something I do consciously, but if I'm around friends and family, I learn a lot that they think I'd never notice.
