      They’re so fucking stupid. If they wanted to keep making the ultra rich richer, they’d give all of us enough money to spend disposable income. But the current policies are coming to the inevitable late stage capitalism conclusion where none of us have enough money to continue propping them up.

      It’s been decades of short term gains over sustainability, and we’re at the end of that pattern now

    What’s the tactic here to win voters? Alienate them? Are the republicans trying to neg women into voting for them?

    I don’t think lack of self esteem is going to win them any votes, how will Republicans raising taxes on the poor and giving corporations tax cuts help the childless cat ladies have babies?

      No tactic, he’s just an asshole. Just because Trump was stupid enough to pick him doesn’t mean that Vance has a single clue about what he’s fucking doing.

    Why do Republicans hate children so much? I have kids and fail to understand why the party supporters want children born unwanted. Do they secretly relish the idea that these unwanted kids will grow up in misery? Neglected, abused, worse? WTAF?

      Unironically, they absolutely do. Children are the punishment for having sex out of wedlock, and not only must the woman suffer for having this child, but the child must suffer because they’re the product of sin.

      I knew a number of people at my old church who ABSOLUTELY thought this way.

    I’ve been saying this for a while now that this anger and resentment over childfree people has become increasingly pervasive and dangerous and it really feels like we are going to be one of the first against the wall.

    Even among otherwise reasonable people I know there is a shocking amount of resentment towards people who choose to live their lives for something besides children.

    Wow, he really wants to go with the “childless” thing, huh? Should go over swimmingly with Millenials and Gen Z that can’t afford to have children anymore.

      He just wants Millennials to be the happy and proud parent Trump is of his children- Ivanka, Don Jr., Derek, Barron, and he doesn’t have any other daughters.

        His type is couches, dolphins, and little girls.

        That’s unfair of you to say. The first one is confirmed to be a hoax.

          But he admitted it. He even went on the “Sectional Healing” podcast. His favorite type of couch to fuck is a chaise btw

    He’s really just got that one “accomplishment” he’s proud of, huh?
