Politics: Is it All in the Family?

Over this past weeks, my husband, son, and various family members have been discussing what has been going on in the world today. It surely comes as a surprise to no-one that I feel as if our current administration demostrates poor leadership, and I am unhappy with the direction in which this country is going. Well, to be more frank and candid, there are moments of complete disgust.

My son, who went to a very good, east coast Ivy League university often found himself surrounded by a circle of roomates who were questioning the politics of me, his mother. A few asked if I was like one of those old Communists, or more specifically, just too 'far left and liberal' (whateverthat means, personally, I felt honored!) My daughter seems rather a political, and my parents were rather conservative, thinking that Franklin Roosevelt was a hero, in spite of the role he and this country played in reaction to the Jews in the hands of the Nazis during WWII. My husband is a bit more conservative than I do, but he understands and respects, and more often than not agrees with my point of view. When my son and I are talking about politics, my husband usually says, 'you know that he (our son) will agree with you completely, so why do you even bother to ask?'

Here is the question of the day: How do you and your children, spouses , significant others, parents tend to view politics? Do you agree, disagree, or find yourself on opposite ends of the spectrum, with one another? How and in what ways? I know that our family of PEZ'S will probably be pretty much on the same page, but I would like to hear it from their own mouths.

Thank you for your minds.
