if you don't have children, JD Vance doesn't want you (miserable "childless cat ladies") in leadership positions.

JD Vance, Trump’s VP pick, has opposed abortion and LGBTQ+ rights
The first-term senator from Ohio has also taken particular aim at prominent Democrats who do not have children, arguing that political leaders should have a stake in the country’s future through their children.


Vance has also taken particular aim at prominent Democrats who do not have children, arguing that political leaders should have a stake in the country’s future through their children.

In a July 2021 speech to a conservative think tank and subsequent interview with Fox News, Vance criticized “the childless left,” saying, “Why have we let the Democrat Party become controlled by people who don’t have children?”

On both occasions, Vance explicitly called out Vice President Kamala Harris, Sen. Cory Booker, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. Harris has two stepchildren and Buttigieg and his husband, Chasten welcomed twins in September 2021.

“We are effectively run in this country, via the Democrats, via our corporate oligarchs, by a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable too,” Vance said in a 2021 interview with then-Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

“If we want a healthy ruling class in this country, we should invest more, we should vote more, we should support people who actually have kids, because those are the people who actually have a direct stake in the future of the country,” Vance added.

15. A Healthy Ruling Class?

A Healthy Ruling Class?
WT actual F does this wannabe "hillbilly prince" think he is? There are no kings in the USA.
This is a country where poor and middle class kids can supposedly get the opportunity to become a Rhodes Scholar, or start a small business in a garage and become comfortable, if not rich.
A "Healthy Ruling Class" suggests a class of serfs and servants with no opportunities to make it very far above their own caste, and few recourses should they be stepped up on or abused if the "Ruling Class" decides the Law doesn't apply.

So you've just wiped your ass in the Constitution, just like Trump. You're throwing away every social and political structure that gave you the opportunity to make it to where you are, so you and your buddies can become permanent princes, fighting over thrones and money as soon as you get rid of all those pesky laws, constitutional rights, and regulations.

I understand you completely. Too bad y'all are going to take the rest of us down in your mad quest for a Kingdom of rich holy f***ers.

this jerk's comment.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/rep-glenn-grothman-delivers-speech-straight-out-of-the-handmaids-tale

Rep. Glenn Grothman (R-WI) on Thursday accused “the angry feminist movement” of emasculating men and said the U.S. should “work our way back” to 1960 if former President Donald Trump wins in November.

In a House floor speech that could have been lifted from Margaret Atwood’s dystopian novel The Handmaid’s Tale, Grothman went after supporters of government-funded childcare programs and said President Lyndon Johnson’s War on Poverty “took the purpose out of the man’s life, because now you have a basket of goodies for the mom.” He added, “They’ve taken away the purpose of the man to be part of a family. And if we want to get America back to, say, 1960, where this was almost unheard of, we have to fundamentally change these programs.”



They do have some mental health issues.

…why am I not attracted to this lifestyle? Or to the men who embrace it?

*holes like Vance are seriously pissed off that the female half of the population can actually compete with dick-obsessed wonders like himself. It’s bad enough that POCs think they have that right. But Vance and the other forced-birthers actually have a viable (haha) plan for getting women out of the job market except at the most menial level: unplanned, never-planned pregnancies.
