Suggests that political views are heritable and that conservatives are outproducing liberals (doesn't get into ethnic changes).

Also goes into some things from another thread about what is right and what is left:

"...Most individuals have some conception of a difference between “left-leaning” and “right-leaning” or liberal versus conservative beliefs. Even so, people have very different and potentially inconsistent opinions about what the “Left-Right” political spectrum consists of. As Hyrum Lewis has put it recently:

The political spectrum creates confusion. It tells us, for example, that both fascist Adolf Hitler and libertarian Milton Friedman are on the “far right,” yet Hitler advocated nationalism, socialism, militarism, authoritarianism, and anti-Semitism, while Milton Friedman advocated internationalism, capitalism, pacifism, civil liberties, and was himself a Jew.
George W. Bush’s big-government, militarist philosophy is considered “right wing” as is Rand Paul’s small-government, anti-militarist philosophy. We say that liberals believe in free speech and conservatives believe in free markets, yet moving to the “extreme left” means clamping down on free speech (as with Stalin or Mao) and moving to the “extreme right” means clamping down on free markets (as with National Socialism)...."

It's simply tribalism.

I'm with Friedman. You can put me wherever that puts me on your scale. You can also put fascism, socialism, and communism anywhere you want. You just can't honestly put any of them in the same place that you put me.

Free Market is an oxymoron. It was created last century. It was never founded by our founding Fathers. Free Market is part of the Establishment that keeps us all down while the elites get richer.
