    The parents in this case are Gen X aren’t they? That makes sense I guess since it’s a 50/50 split generation on liberal and conservative. I’d be extremely surprised to see the children of millennials having this problem though. Millennials have been an unusual generation because they haven’t been becoming more conservative

      It’s pretty common for families to skip a generation especially in developed countries - if you’re having kids in your thirties it’s extremely unlikely you’ll be in adjacent generations since those are usually defined as 15 years long. So most millenials had Boomer parents while Gen Z mostly have Gen X parents. Bear in mind that gender role fuzzing mostly entered pop culture with Gen X.
