Are you a woman? Is your mother a woman? Is your wife a woman? Sister? Daughter? Do you have a Granny? Aunts? Female cousins. Is your neighbour a woman? Do you have female friends? Are you a decent, respectable human being?

Then there's no way you can vote for this.

Spread the word.

As a Grandparent, Vance’s Weird and Irresponsible Child Care Proposal is Insulting

Parents need reliable, affordable childcare solutions, and providers need thriving wages, health care, and retirement—the same benefits their care allows other parents to pursue.

JD Vance says he’s ‘pro-family.’ Many women say the economy isn’t. - National Women's Law Center

Six states and D.C. have implemented universal preschool for 4-year-olds, with D.C. and Vermont providing access to 3-year-olds, according to the National Women’s Law Center.

@Npars01 @AlexGallagher

All of this makes me angry. This is where folks like them want to take us. Be poor and respectful baby machines.

"A very awful right wing law that tries to define who is the “deserving poor”. It judges poor women with multiple children. Our society loves to blame women for it's lack of care of poor families. We've not moved beyond Victorian Industrial morality."

@Npars01 @AlexGallagher also hoping to create cannon fodder for whatever war they start (or continue) in 15-20 years

I saw once this "demographic bell curve" of Russia from 2010s (before the war started), marked up "surplus male population". It appeared to be from somewhere like Wikipedia and/or a University, not some fash place and was simply making the bald statement that there were that many "surplus" young men in Russia, it simply doesn't make that a big dent in the population (or prevent it from still growing to some extent) if a lot of them are sacrificed in a war. Which is exactly what has happened just a few years later..

@AlexGallagher I think this is the origin: a 2023 Substack post unearthed by The Independent, and even more comments elsewhere?

Which is all really interesting because the major reason why people don’t have kids they don’t have the resources.

If somebody hasn’t already looked to anything they might have written down or said you can bet that the tax relief is only for very well off people and everybody else’s taxed for death.

It is class based eugenics and nothing else

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @AlexGallagher I think "race suicide" is an equally important part of it—the idea that white people will be "outbred" by everyone else.

@nev @AlexGallagher

It’s such an evil, malicious piece of rhetoric though. I’m sure you have a very good idea of what I mean.

The race suicide is a very interesting way for the pedo-epstein capitalist class characterize their destruction of people’s livelihoods and standard of living, so that they lack the resources to have children and take care of them and to educate them
