Some of the things that people think nowadays, is due to how they were raised, what political format they were raised in can really affect how they think about politics now. If one's parents' beliefs and feelings manage to rub off on their child then that child will tend to agree with that and then continue to think with that same mindset for a long time. People who are at the age we are at right now might not even have fully developed their own political values or opinions which makes it hard because at this time, social pressure might make it more of a thing where they will simply agree with what their friends believe in. The 6 topics above, definitely influence how people think about the world. For Level of Education, if people have had a lesser education when they were young, they might try to support the person who is trying to make education easier and better for their kids. if they had a good education they may try to keep that up or look for other factors if deciding who to support in a political race. for Family Income, some people with a lower income might want to support someone who is advocating for cheaper living, cheaper food sources, and trying to find better ways to support families in worse economical positions. For region of the U.S. it will always be different, I am kind of unaware of politics at the moment so I'm not sure how different the regions would be but I know that of course there will be a difference because some states are officially "Democratic" or "Republican" but other than that I don't know what the different views will be based on that. For racial group, there is a lot of controversy right now around Trump's promise of building a wall across the Mexican border. A lot of people are for this movement because they feel it will keep out illegal immigrants and drug cartels from the U.S.A. furthermore, a lot of Latino people disagree with this because of the idea of the American dream that they want for their children. Or people who are already citizens of the U.S.A. and want their families to come be able to visit them which might become near impossible if the wall is ever constructed. this is only one example of racial differences among politics. Religion is also another big part of politics, religion being one big thing that people all around the world talk about, fight about, and discuss. Religion can come in all forms, shapes, or sizes, but of course it also causes controversy between countries (politics) which makes negotiations difficult. People everywhere are also discriminated against because of what they believe in. Gender/sex is also a big topic of controversy, it has been for a long while and it is debated about equal rights and the gender pay gap which is still decreasing in some places.

I haven't made and note-worthy political choices yet but I feel like no matter what they were they definitely would have been changed by the way I was raised and the things that I answered to those questions I started with.
