Family Schmamily

 "Family is the most important thing in the world. And if you came from a bad or difficult one, you can create and nurture your own. I'm shocked by how little Democrats value family. This may explain why I feel so alienated from them, despite holding some left-wing views. I check nearly every box that predicts devaluing family: postgraduate education, 30-49 years old, male, unmarried, and never attending religious services. Maybe I value family so deeply because I was fortunate to have an amazing one. I can’t help but feel sympathy for those who don’t understand its importance."

Colin Wright is one of my favorite follows on Twitter.  There are many subjects which we vehemently disagree on, yet he is almost always calm and respectful.   His use of data and statistics and willingness to follow the data where it leads is refreshing.   But this Tweet is pretty good stuff.  That less than HALF of democrats don't believe that family is one of their top 3 most important values, explains so much about where the ASPL is headed.
