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.
I haven’t really seen that honestly, it’s pretty much a non-event. I have a kid, some of my circle don’t plan on it. No one really cares.
I’ve seen childfree people on the internet complaining about people with kids plenty enough, but I always assumed they were a vocal minority.
The only time I’ve ever seen this topic as an actual point of contention in real life is people who insist on no kids at weddings. Which I do think is kind of a dick move, but also people’s preogerative.
I’ve seen kids at weddings. Hell, I’ve been a kid at weddings. It was generally a bad experience for everyone.
Bored. Hungry. Thirsty. Where’s the toilet? I wanna play over there. Not allowed to touch this and that. Don’t run around. Don’t yell. Stop doing rude things. Don’t cry. Barf. Sleepy. Who gave them alcohol? I wanna go home! Stop crying. Etc and so on.
Kids and weddings rarely mix well, often making it a burdensome experience for everyone, mostly for the kids.
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.
No no, he needs to stay in. He needs to keep saying this shit and driving everyone away from voting Trump. Since JD Vance is a narcissistic, power hungry couch fucker, he won’t leave Trump’s campaign willingly which is exactly what we need.
I’d place the blame on the Democrats pushing such an unlikable candidate, Hillary Clinton, that they couldn’t move enough people to vote to get past the electoral college bias. There’s also the fact that most people thought “How bad could Trump be. He looks honest and confident in what he says” and a lot of positive media around that time being about Trump.
This time, we have Kamala Harris who’s actually really good at campaigning and getting support. The move the Democrats pulled managed to derail the GOP Propaganda machines (like Faux News) and put the positive focus on Harris instead of Trump.
Regardless of what is happening in the Republican side, we still need to vote since this could be our last chance to vote.
It wasn’t that she was unlikable. It was all the bot farms and nobody would have ever thought Dementia Don the racist rapist with 34 felonies could possibly win, so too many voters stayed home. That will not happen this time.
VOTE!!! Volunteer to give rides to those that couldn’t vote without the help.
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.
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
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.
Fellow childless adult here. Partner and I want kids, but we can’t bear to bring a person into this world where the climate is fucked, reaganomics has ruined the middle class, and restrictive reproductive healthcare laws make pregnancy a huge risk.
JD Vance wants to bitch about childless adults, but him and his ilk are causing us to abstain from having kids.
There was a Twitter post claiming he wrote in his book that he fucked couch cushions as a younger lad. It is (as far as we know) not true, however it caught like wildfire and is now a certified dank meme
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.
This isn’t even bronze age bruh some primitive societies had women who specialised into certain tasks not have children for various reasons. Or even for paganist (religious) reasons.
