Trump Aide Says Calling Harris ‘Childless’ Is Proving to Be a ‘Bad Strategy’
Republican pollster and strategist Jon McHenry told the Boston Globe that Sarah Huckabee Sanders attacking Kamala Harris for not having biological children was ‘a gratuitous slap.’
The GOP have been huffing "traditional family values" for so long they thought everyone did too. They make a jab at Harris for not fitting the traditional family values, which they thought would land with the public, but it fell flat because "traditional family values" includes the subjugation of women, abuse of children, and a big helping of toxic masculinity. Naturally those ideas are rejected by the majority of Americans today.
The GOP got high on their on supply.
There’s this scene from The Boys S4– so spoilers abound— wherein Homelander spouts the conservative talking points to would-be donors behind closed doors and is told “yeah yeah save the talking points for the rabble.”
Which is great, as S4 is set in the stage where the Trump analogue takes power, but somehow we’re past that point irl. The guys in charge don’t seem to just be saying it for the “rabble” anymore. Sucks how far the right has moved in just a few years without losing significant support.

They want you barefoot and pregnant, doing dishes and being your husband’s sex toy when he’s not fucking his secretary.
We're just not weird enough to understand.
I think they are just authoritarians. They just want people to fall in line, follow orders, and shut up. Logical inconsistencies in their arguments or policies? Well fuck you logic is for nerds.
Don't want to play ball well too bad you're probably a witch anyway. Don't think the Earth is the center of everything? Do not pass go and straight to jail!
I’m permanent guardian to my niece. Asswipe says I’m not invested in the future because I didn’t birth her.
I don't have children. I don't plan to have children. I don't think any of my partners did or do either. People can be invested in the future because they don't want future generations to suffer. If you need to have younger dependents for that, it mostly makes me think you have a rather narrow world view.

These are the same people whose only reason for not murdering people is the belief that they will be tortured for eternity if they do.
Well in the eyes of the GOP you could just tear up the paperwork and walk away at any time, so clearly it doesn’t count.
I remember when I was a fundamentalist evangelical christian pro-life activist in my late preteens/early teens (picketing clinics was a favorite family activity), we used to have signs that said 'Adoption: the loving option'.
Turns out, maybe they don't care about adoption anymore. Just wombs.
A lot of these fucks like adoption, only because kids who've been bounced from foster to foster are way easier to indoctrinate into things. Just need to show them some attention.
Many are childless because they have been beholden to corporations and rich people far more than their parents were. They never had an opportunity to give their kids at least the life they had, so they opted not to have them. It's not that they didn't want them. They responded to the situation they were given.
I see these folks with generational wealth who have 16 children. It must be nice, but they're just another side of the same problem.
Chiding people for being childless is possibly the most tone-deaf take ever, and even more so from rich, corpo pawns.
What do you expect from a political party that would rather sling poop than policy ideas (or concepts of ideas)?
Party?
Who would have thought that being terrible people would be a bad strategy.
Well, it worked 2016 right?
DoNT cAlL us DePloRAbles
Childless women are useless and people with degrees are worse people.
Lesson failed.
Can Trump’s aides run in his place? They seem way smarter.
Eh. I'm voting for Trump but certain people around him (like Laura Loomer) might literally have me voting for Kamala if they were to replace him.
Look, folks, a temporarily embarrassed billionaire. They're the only people that benefit economically from Trump's policies. Check your 2016 taxes paid divided by income and your 2023 taxes paid divided by income. The reason you paid more taxes in 2024 is Trump's tax reform. Did you get more for your tax dollars now? I don't feel like I did.
Eh. I’m voting for Trump
I mean.... really?
It's not a question of political views, I was a midwestern conservative growing up, back before the dixiecrats hijacked the party and drove it into a ditch,
Vote libertarian until they finally kick the trash out, sending a message matters more than anything else.
Is that Sarah Huckabee Sanders?
Is that ozempic hate monster being kissed by the old rapist that shits his pants and wasn't shot in the ear?
The US is a net exporter of oil, and has been one for the last several years.

Why do you want to increase production if you're not going to export?

Maybe homeland security can hire you to hide under a bridge at the southern border and scare the immigrants away. Repeat after me who's that rap tap tapping on my bridge...
