You stop paying attention to big things and focus on your child. “Think of the children” starts to work more because you think less about everything else.
Also women who are independent tend to be more liberal than men, but women who are dependant on their husband tend to be more conservative. Have a child, quit your job, adopt your husband’s political opinions because what’s good for him is good for you.
That’s just one possible suggestion on my part. I was reading a reddit thread yesterday where women were sharing their post partum depression. “I was so anxious that I couldn’t carry my baby through doorways. I thought I would smash their head against the doorframe. When hubby left for work we just stayed in whatever room he left us in. I had to lay my baby down and leave the door open to see them to use the toilette. I only changed him on the floor because I had visions of him falling off the coffee table and smashing his head open on the carpet.”
Like, I can see that kind of psychosis leaving a mark. Changing who you are and what you believe, if you left Fox news on while you were too anxious to walk through doorways and I am sure sleep deprived, maybe thats all it takes. Or your husband starts listening to talk radio and you don’t have the energy to argue.
Or maybe again it’s about money. People get their shit together because now they have a kid and then they have money and start voting to keep it and fuck everyone else.
Not everyone, certainly, not even most, most people don’t change their politics over time. but over time the drift goes to the right.

I cannot wrap my head around not thinking for yourself even in that scenario. But I’m an autist so maybe that’s me thing
