How would you explain common political leanings to an 8 year old?

Liberal - if your family can’t afford breakfast or lunch everyday we’ll organize to get the school to offer meals to kids who need it.

Conservative - we can’t afford to pay for it and besides they had kids they can’t afford.

Libertarians - I will walk in a straight line swinging my arms and if I knock your lunch out of your hands it’s your own fault.

Ayo, so we gots da crips and da bloods, young G.

Listen up

You gotta PICK. Ain't no such thing as PURPLE or else you GET SHOT. Gotta join a gang. If you're CRIPS, you like dat @$$

Das how we keep it pushin, g. And if you a blood, you gangbang fo LIFE. You want GUNS and BLOOD and KILLIN and LOTS OF IT MOFOOOO

You become the ELEPHANT in the room up innis b&$^/. Gotta be a proud boy!

You pick yo mafia. You can't think fo yoself, cuh
You let the MOB do the thinkin for you when you MOBBIN, aight g? The mafia boss picks what you believe in this party and you fall in line. Yeah, both groups is fascist as a mofo..... but we MOBBIN

Then you got slims who see the gang activity and "my team vs your team" shensnigans and they SMART as a mofo. They ain't mobbin. They don't let NOBODY tellem what to think or believe. When the crips be trippin n s**t, they don't vote crips. When the bloods be actin a d@mn fool, they don't vote blood. They the REAL OGs but nobody pays them respects

That's American politics in a nutshell, hood style

Liberals: lazy privileged people who don’t want to work and want free hand outs and think the world owes them something

Conservatives: economically reasonable people with some outdated beliefs

Libertarians: the cool table

Well, if grown adults can't discuss this topic without snideness and lack of objectivity, I'd say it's age-inappropriate material for kids.

@Graylight ironically, children are more open minded, sincere, and honest and usually don't have arrogance when faced with questions about politics and morality. Oddly enough, I find that children are closer to actually thinking problems through simply because they have no indoctrinated manifesto to recite, unlike the adults who "picked a side."

@Graylight lol yeah the question was how to explain to an 8 year old not like an angry 8 year old. Lol

Liberal-Don't worry kids. You don't ever have to work. Just live on government assistance.
