    Buttigieg's dad Joseph Buttigieg was a Marxist academic and one of the leading experts on Antonio Gramsci. I think that's proof enough that growing up in a fancy environment has more weight than any informed ideological teachings. Don't know about Buttigieg's mother though.

    If I have kids I'm still desperately going to try inoculating them away from liberalism at an early age so they won't become a mayo Pete.

      Pretty sure this means his dad was a bad dad. I mean hell if my kid was acting like that it would mean it's time to sit down and learn about empathy, have some more one-on-one time, and if it was truly alarming after that, consider therapy.

      I think that's a trend with a lot of Centrist ghouls. Kamala Harris, Pete B., and Liz Truss all had lefty parents.
