Live in an expensive suburb surrounded by similarly situated people.
Send kids to private school.
Make time for family dinner every night.

+ lots of wholesome books (Redwall, Narnia, etc.) and displayed reverence at home for the wholesome traditions of our ancestors and our immediate family tree, given to us by God to preserve and cherish and pass on.
As Shusaku Endo said in A Life of Jesus, for people raised in anything resembling Christian tradition, however limited, just the word “Bethlehem” alone, for example, is enough to warm our heart and weather any storm:
A true Interior Castle foundation, inspirational stained-glass patterns and refreshing breezes caressing the hanging tapestries of our soul.

It’s a tough call, but I’ve noticed in my experience of my UMC private prep school peers:
People with parents who genuinely care (that is, they truly will the good of their children, not just status props or pawns of some kind) may go on some bizarre scenic routes due to societal pressure / our fallen human ego which tempts us to choose the fool’s gold of defining our own "identity"…
…but end up getting out of their own way before it’s too late, like Prodigal sons and daughters, and they’ve opted for their given place in God’s celestial tapestry / benevolent hierarchy instead of rebelling against His definition of our nature - both spiritual and biological nature (vs blank slate "freedom").
People whose parents didn’t care (and all these people I’m referring to are financially comfortable so the money variable is negligible) - most of them have gone down some deep dark rabbit holes, even if presentable on the surface in some cases in small doses, pure hysteria due to a quicksand foundation.

For the most part, if the parents put their own ambitions aside and both decide to focus on doing the real work of raising children, things will work out pretty well.

We try to have a lot of talks with them where we help them reason stuff out themselves. We'll explain both sides of an issue and sort of gently guide them logically toward the conservative side. We try not to denigrate libs b/c we feel like that's a recipe for rebellion. We just basically say both sides want what's best for people, but here's why the other side is misguided.
I had a long talk with our oldest about some of the CRT stuff that might come up in school and instructed her to let me know if she hears anything that basically indicates that being white is bad. One kid came home saying "we should get rid of all cars" b/c they're bad for the environment. We talked about how impractical that is, that cars have gotten more efficient over time, that just b/c something has a drawback doesn't mean it shouldn't exist, etc.
