Yes there’s departures, revivals, and reversions to the mean.

But two parents who feel strongly about something having children will produce children with a certain biological proclivity.

It’s a lot to bet that people will deny their own biology.

Yes, but aren't there biological proclivities to certain personality traits, and then proclivities of people to certain personality traits to political ideology?

So if liberals don't reproduce, it could start selection against the "openness to experience" personality trait.
