I’m shocked. I’m also kidding.
The most interesting thing to me about
this study is the motivation of the researchers. When the day is done and
the results are in, it simply amounts to patting oneself on the back. This
is research?

I read about this on a certain Other Forum and basically said “eh.”
It’s a too-small sample size from a too-small geographic area. I’d say it’s
close to meaningless, and in any case the factors of adolescent life and
parental leanings likely weigh more upon one’s political destination that does
one’s own “whininess.”
Of the few dozen former high school classmates I’ve been able (or inclined) to
track down, very nearly all of them gravitated to exactly the political
affiliation I would have predicted, myself included. The indicators present in
adolescence are probably more reliable than the relative “whininess” of a
toddler.
Even if that whiny “toddler” is a six-foot-five demagogue who hosts a three-hour
daily radio show plus a daily hour-long primetime TV show...
Dave!
