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

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
