0:00.0	It's Friday, January 31st, 2025. I'm Albert Moller, and this is The Briefing, a daily analysis of news
0:12.3	and events from a Christian worldview. How exactly do liberal parents understand their conservative
0:19.2	sons? That's a perplexing question to many on the cultural
0:23.0	left, and it has come with an increased emphasis and urgency after last November's election,
0:30.3	when many more liberal parents found out that their sons were far more conservative than they
0:35.8	knew them to be. A headline in a major report in the New York
0:39.5	Times comes down to this, quote, when your son goes MAGA. The subhead in the article, some liberal
0:46.0	parents face an unexpected challenge, how to talk to their children who voted for President Trump.

1:30.3	story. As the Times reports, quote, Mr. Trump has for nearly a decade been a source of political
1:36.5	divides within families, cleaving new fault lines along the way. In 2016, as younger voters
1:42.3	leaned towards Hillary Clinton over Mr. Trump, it was easy to find left-leaning children loudly bemoaning the politics of their Trump-supporting parents online and in the news.
1:52.9	The story, though, continues, quote, this time around, there's a fresh wrinkle.
1:56.6	Although young voters as a whole preferred Ms. Harris, Mr. Trump secured a second term in office
2:01.6	with the help of an improved performance among young men.
