Question everything, ignorance is not bliss, no party or organisation is 100% good or 100% bad.

yea, but it's about who they are taught has the real power, and who you should be questioning is drastically different on both sides of the political spectrum.

Right wing parents will tell their kids that the media and arts have all the power and they are left wing, so you should always question the media and their left wing bias, while left wing parents will tell their kids that the church has all the power and you should always question the teachings of the church.

SO either way, the parents of both sides are teaching them to be skeptical, but it's what they are teaching you to be skeptical about that makes a difference.
