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.
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.
The wealthy want more people in the world so that they can pay employees less. More people, more competition for jobs. Also, more consumption, more sales.
Hell yeah JD!!! That's my boy! Keep giving us this motivational locker room talk, you're the gift that keeps on giving! Keep cooking (yourself) King. You're kinda mainlining the LGBTQ stuff to the point that it's stale, maybe alienate some minorities next go round, that'd be SICK
I'm a childless adult. I'm such a terrible person. I worship the devil and I kill people. What are you gonna do about it? My cats are literally tiny Satans.
Actually, they fucking rock. Best kitties in the world.
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?
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?
it's not a random thing to demonize people for the simple choice to not have kids. corporate greedlords have been shitting their pants over the declining birthrate because less kids means less money for them. no matter who's paying to raise a kid--parents or taxpayers--that money isn't spent on kids that don't exist, and every industry suffers for it: food, medical, gas, clothing--everything
so if you already felt bad about not having kids, the goal is to make you hate yourself even more, and make having kids an even higher priority in your life. it seems like it should be about more than money, but for republicans it's absolutely not.
Someone who actually cared about his own children wouldn't be capable of saying this shit with so much confidence because they'd capable of seeing other adults and kids as "their own" too, a kind of empathy you can kinda only develop by being a parent.
The fact he uses them more like status quo trophies shows a really disgusting and inhumane side of him. He probably only had children to accomodate a social quota, not because he actually loves them. He doesn't value human life as human, but more like a transaction, a holy duty or even monetary. It's just gross and hard to explain how it feels to hear this dumb motherfucker
Vance faced an onslaught of bad press, as many commentators—including Harris’ step-daughter, Taylor Swift fans, Democratic officials, actor Jennifer Aniston, and several conservative women pundits—decried his comment.
My reading comprehension must be pretty bad because for a second it sounded like Taylor Swift was Kamala Harris' step daughter.
