Are you more Liberal or Conservative then your parents and grandparents

[OSR stands with Israel]

Only my Dad and Grandfather from Mom's Side are political  so I will only compare with them

Dad:

Economic Issues: Slightly More Conservative
Social and Religious Issues: Slightly More Liberal
Foreign Policy Issues: Around the same


Grandfather:

Economic Issues: Much More Conservative
Social and Religious Issues: Much More Liberal
Foreign Policy Issues: More Conservative

[Free Bird]

Let's See. Based on what I know

Dad:
Socially: About the same
Economically: I'm a half-turn more progressive, but basically the same
Foreign Policy: A mile more liberal

Mom:
Socially: A bit more conservative
Economically: Basically the same, though she is an unapologetic flat rater. Sigh.
Foreign Policy: Couldn't Say

Dad's Dad (RIP)
Socially: More liberal I assume
Economically: Probably about the same, maybe a half turn more conservative
Foreign Policy: More liberal

Dad's Mom
Socially: Much more liberal
Economically: Same
Foreign Policy: More liberal

Mom's Mom
Socially: Same, maybe I am a bit more liberal
Economically: I'm slightly more conservative.
Foreign Policy: Couldn't say

Mom's Dad
Socially: More conservative. One of his catchphrases is basically "Why do you need an assault weapon." He's also a FEMA fanboy, so maybe the proper terminology should be more libertarian
Economically: More conservative maybe
Foreign Policy: Couldn't say

[Goldwater]

Dad: More liberal, I guess. He's a pretty conservative Republican, although other than being pro-life and supporting guns right he doesn't seem to care about social issues, focusing more on economics.

Mom: Overall more conservative. I think abortion is the only issue I'm more liberal than her on, with her being pro-life and me being pro-choice.

Mom's dad: Definitely more liberal. He's very much a tea party conservative.

Mom's mom: Probably more liberal. She's not very vocal about politics, but she seems to be on the conservative side.

Dad's parents: No idea, I'm not very close to that side of the family.

[RR1997]

Dad:
We're both Republicans, but I'm more moderate.

Mom:
See above

Grandparents:
They live in India, so I have no idea.

Paternal Granny was pretty much a Commie apologist, Paternal Granddad from all accounts I know was pretty much a walking stereotype for  "welfare royalty", but he was in the Navy so.

Maternal Grandparents are pretty much Utah-style conservative.

[Thunderbird is the word]

Dad:

Economic Issues: About the same
Social and Religious Issues: Slightly more liberal
Foreign Policy Issues: About the same

Mom:
Economic Issues: About the same
Social and Religious Issues: Slightly more liberal
Foreign Policy Issues: Slightly more liberal

One caveat on religion. I think that it's tough to say whose more liberal. My parents have both dabbled in vaguely buddhist and new agey spirituality wheras i'm just an agnostic. In general our social views are pretty close though I might be slightly more to the left on certain issues.


Mom's Dad:

Economic Issues: Much More Liberal
Social and Religious Issues: Much More Liberal
Foreign Policy Issues: Much More Liberal

Mom's Mom:

Economic Issues: Slightly More Liberal
Social and Religious Issues: Somewhat More Liberal
Foreign Policy Issues: Much More Liberal

Dad's Dad: Not sure honestly, I know that he was a lifelong Democrat but a devout Catholic who was likely pro-life so i'm guessing here.
Economic Issues: Slightly More Liberal
Social and Religious Issues: Much More Liberal
Foreign Policy Issues: Slightly More Liberal

Dad's Mom:
Economic Issues: Much More Liberal
Social and Religious Issues: Much More Liberal
Foreign Policy Issues: Much More Liberal

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

I'm way more conservative than my Dad on pretty much everything. My mom is close to my position on most issues. My grandparents on my mom's side are essentially the same socially, but significantly to the right of me economically. I never knew my father's parents well enough before they passed to know their political views.

[OSR stands with Israel]

Dad:
We're both Republicans, but I'm more moderate.

Mom:
See above

Grandparents:
They live in India, so I have no idea.

Nice my Dads side live in India but my Moms side lived here for over 20 years before moving back

[ElectionsGuy]

Grandparents:

Both sides are hardcore conservative Republicans on every issue. I've talked to all of them about politics, and I don't think there's an issue that they would agree with liberals on. They're not extreme, but definitely full on conservative.

Mom and Dad:

More socially conservative than me, we're all very economically conservative, though I do tend to advocate more abrupt "get government out of it" solutions than them. They're much more militaristic in foreign policy, and pretty conservative (read: terrible) when it comes to civil liberties and criminal justice issues. I have gotten them to agree with some libertarian issues over the past year or so that they probably would not have agreed to if I didn't exist (like they disagree with the patriot act and don't want to arm all our supposed "friends" in the middle east).

Their perceptions of the politics in general are absolutely nutty though, which I won't get into to, but let's just say talk radio is having an influence. That's my main problem with them.

[TNF]

Paternal Grandfather: I don't know, I've only met him a few times
Paternal Grandmother: Right-wing Republican

Maternal Grandfather: Retired member of the United Association of Pipefitters and Steamfitters, which is one of the reasons I'm involved in labor and was kind of the foot in the door for me in terms of my own politics. I don't talk politics with him often, but he hates Republicans, isn't too fond of the Democrats (he hasn't voted for President since 2008), and says his favorite recent President was Carter, whom he has said was 'right, but no one wanted to listen to him.' Hates the Clintons with a passion.
Maternal Grandmother: Straight-ticket Democratic voter, but she has a tendency to repeat pretty much any crazy rumor about Obama. Voted for Bush in 2004 to stop gay marriage (her only Republican vote ever), then stopped voting. She says she'll vote for Hillary though, because she thinks a woman ought to be President.

Father: Doesn't vote. Very much into Alex Jones-type conspiracy theories. Working on getting him into Marxism, as I have said a few things here or there and he seemed interested.
Stepmother: Doesn't vote. Comes from a more middle class background (her dad owned a small interior design business), and seems fairly liberal. Has mentioned liking Bill Clinton before.

Mother: A teacher (and union member), who mostly votes Democratic and has fairly mainstream views as far as Kentucky Democrats go. Voted for Ralph Nader in 2008 and Jill Stein in 2012, as more of a protest vote against Obama's support for education 'reform' than anything else. Unfortunately she seems to be moving to the right and I think she said she likes Ted Cruz (!) or some other nut like that when we last talked politics. Very unhappy with my politics, unsurprisingly.
Stepfather: Voted Republican from Bush Sr. to George W., thought McCain and Romney were 'too liberal' and voted Libertarian (wut) instead. A Republican, but relatively pro-labor.

[Mr. Illini]

Mom

Economics: She is center-left and I am a bit further left

Foreign Policy: I am more liberal

Dad's Mom

Socially: I am more liberal, although she isn't over the top
Economics: Like her husband, she is fairly liberal on these issues, although has moderated in recent years, I am probably more liberal
Foreign Policy: I am more liberal

[RINO Tom]

I'll leave out foreign policy, because I find it stupid to describe interventionism/isolationism as liberal/conservative.  More liberal than both paternal grandparents on fiscal and social issues.  More liberal on social issues than my maternal grandfather and about the same on fiscal issues.  More conservative on fiscal issues and more liberal on social issues than my maternal grandmother.

Mom: Same socially, more liberal fiscally
Dad: More liberal on both

[SATW]

My Dad:
- He's more conservative, by A LOT, on social issues and cultural issues
- We are roughly even on economic and foreign policy (right-wing on econ, hawkish on FP)

My Mom and Sister:
- I'm more right-wing on all issues.

[RFayette]

I'm somewhat more conservative than both my parents (mother is socially conservative & fiscally liberal [like a Mung Beans or MormDem]) while father is socially liberal and fiscally conservative [likes Mitt Romney a lot], but more liberal than my grandparents, who are basically all tea party GOPers.

[Gustaf]

I'm a bit to the left of my parents on social issues, although that is more in rhetoric and attitudes than in substance.

My grandparents I don't really know. They were probably all more socially conservative.

[TransfemmeGoreVidal]

Definitely more liberal on race and social issues. Economically I'm about the same as they were all staunch new deal democrats.

Lihbrel

[TJ in Oregon]

I'm a bit more socially conservative than my parents and between them on fiscal issues (my Dad being more conservative and my Mom being more to the left).

It gets harder to tell when it comes to Grandparents, but I'm probably somewhere near the average of their views.  My family seems to be oddly full of working class Catholics who were conservative enough to vote against JFK.

[HagridOfTheDeep]

More conservative than my dad on most things other than social policy.

It's harder to say for everyone else because they don't exactly have coherent, well-considered political beliefs.

[Maxwell]

More liberal than my dad, more conservative than my mom, way more conservative than my grandparents.

[Figueira]

Socially: way more left-wing, at least on LGBT and gender issues. Not sure about guns/abortion.
Economically: probably slightly more left-wing
Environmentally: just as environmentalist (if not moreso) but with less stereotypical environmentalist views (e.g. my views on GMOs are fairly nuanced but most of my family are strongly against)
Foreign policy: probably more interventionist, but in a left-wing way.

[DS0816]

More liberal than my dad, more conservative than my mom, way more conservative than my grandparents.

Why are you a Democrat?

[Figueira]

More liberal than my dad, more conservative than my mom, way more conservative than my grandparents.

Why are you a Democrat?

I don't think he is. I'm not sure why he has a red avatar though.

[MT Treasurer]

More liberal than my dad, more conservative than my mom, way more conservative than my grandparents.

Re: Why are you a Democrat?

^Incorrect and pointless conjecture!
