Was it money? Or religion? It’s usually one of those two that creates a conservative out of one they has liberal parents.

What I’ve realized over the years is that we really never build it all by ourselves (kinda going back to that Obama comment from years ago). There’s always someone or something there that helps us. It may be being part of the lucky sperm/egg club and being born into wealth, or maybe you weren’t but society still had a hand in providing public schools, a federal program, or maybe there was that someone they saw something in you when others didn’t. Not everyone is lucky. That’s why we have these programs, to provide opportunity.

Rarely does anyone do it all on their own.

Maybe you raised him well enough and provided to the point where he convinced himself he did it all on his own.
