Grew up with two parents and a brother. Mom is an immigrant from Thailand who holds strong republican views. Household never had any significant traditions nor upbringings. Older brother expressed leftist views which have influenced me.

Grew up mainly in the Thornton/Brighton area, actually unsure of the political views there since they aren't really expressed. Main neighborhood presently is republican.

Education

Spent K-8 grades at STEM lab, which felt like a place that expressed views from the left spectrum. Grew to be influenced by them and now mainly present my views. Students surrounding me were and are liberal.

Gen-Z

Being surrounded by gen-z definitely has been an impact in terms of political views. As modern-day politics keep getting stronger, those who fall into the adolescence stage grow to be influenced by them and tend to choose an idea that will resolve conflict.
