Will GOP parents of Fla School side with their party or their kids?

So, if these students are now going to get involved in politics, they will face backlash.
Maybe even in their own homes.
I can just hear GOP parents saying that the gun control issue is much more complicated than the children think. Don’t listen to the liberal media, blah, blah,blah.
Plus, they will say it is only one issue.
And that Dems are wrong in all other ones like abortion and high taxes.
So, you shouldn’t vote out Republicans on the gun issue alone.

Will be interesting to hear from some of these students in a few months and hear what they have heard at home and how it has affected their opinion.

diametrically opposed to those of their parents. They’ll be fine.

But while under my Dad Archie Bunker clones roof, I was not allowed to talk any of the liberal “crap”. He died claiming that the liberal media lied to railroad Nixon out of office.
He was also a racist, sexist, homophobic alcoholic.
Had nice hair and teeth, though. At least I won’t be bald or toothless...lol.

My best single bald friend tells me that he uses this line with women:
“My Brain was so Large that it just pushed out all of the hair. Plus, I’m more concerned with what’s in a persons heart and soul than to bother with vanity over some hair loss”

He never spends a Saturday night alone. I’m just sayin. Dude has game. Sure you do too...lol.
