Doesn't 50% heritability mean that it's a coin flip in a 2 party country? So basically no heritability?


> coin flip

No, you have to consider the non-genetic, environmental factors that also influence the development of political ideology, specifically the households in which children are raised and the schooling and media to which they're exposed, all of which will increasingly become conservative.


That does not explain how mathematically your statement of 40%-60% heritability represents anything other than a coin flip.

The amount of wishful thinking, copium, and straight up bad math you managed to shove into a single paragraph is astonishing.
