Political leanings in the TS4 Politician career have me howling

I recently discovered that sims have a hidden political leaning trait you can find out with the "Debate politics from the (Left/Right)" interaction that comes with the Politician career in City Living.

My current file has the Simpsons (including the mod that has the full on heads), Belchers, and Griffins. I discovered that the Simpsons in my file are a right-wing family (idk what Lisa's going to do), while the Belchers and Griffins are left-wing. Homer and Marge love my left-wing hippie activist's save-the-trees cause, though 🤷🏼‍♀️

I really wish we could choose our sims' political leanings, though. One of my stories is that I have a right-wing suburban mom politician who has a close relationship with her Girlboss™ businesswoman golden child and a difficult one with her rebellious scapegoat child, but the roles have unintentionally changed since she found out the (original) golden child is left-wing and the (original) scapegoat is right-wing 💀 Now, she keeps insulting the golden child and wanting to be friendly with the scapegoat, despite the pre-set relationships. TS4 definitely captured current political division 🥴
