That makes sense. I’ve long been frustrated by the realization that most American adults have reduced our politics down to a game like some sporting event. To so many it’s just my team versus your team above all else with no real rational thought being applied to the candidates or policies being proposed. Sure, a lot of people will give you why their team is the side of good and the other team is the side of evil, but given the greater context, it’s always seemed like a post-hoc rationalization. -When politics function that way, it’s no surprise that children might poll along the same lines because voters are acting like and using the logic of children.
