news said on Thursday that “researchers found that Democrat-supporting kids drove polarization in a new study,” implying that while children who lean Democratic are more inclined to discriminate against Trump supporters, children who live in Republican states are more prone to spread “misinformation.”
Based on over 40 hours of interviews conducted by “Anderson Cooper 360,” which involved 80 elementary school students from Arizona, New Jersey, and Texas, the conclusions were drawn. With permission from parents or guardians, the interviews were carried out in the spring, before to President Biden’s resignation, and the fall, following Vice President.
According to the study, children who lean Democratic were around 800% more likely than those who lean Republican to show negative feelings (such as anxiety/worry or anger/frustration) about Donald Trump than they were about Kamala Harris.
The study’s “biggest finding,” as host Anderson Cooper put it on his broadcast, was that “children were polarized, with what researchers called more extreme responses from the blue state kids than the red state kids.”
