    More liberals should have kids. If the only people who are having kids are conservatives, we shouldn’t be surprised when the next generation turns out more conservative than we expect.

    I wouldn’t try to actively talk people into having kids, though, because that’s weird and creepy, and none of my damn business.

      Did you ever notice that a good number conservative people also have children that turn out gay or trans? Hence, why so many of them have such trauma. We as a society just need to be better and it won’t matter who is having the kids. We will all take care of them.

        I always feel like kids who cannot explore and discover themselves are painted into a corner, and the natural curiosities become forbidden obsessions. That’s not to say conservative parents have more gay or trans kids, but that when their kids are gay or trans, it becomes a much larger part of their personality, either in rebellion on in self-loathing. Everybody exists on a spectrum, and nobody is just one thing, but people who pretend the world is binary and demand conformity leave no room for nuance or ambiguity.

          oh, for sure. i’m just saying, we will all turn out largely the same way regardless of who birthed us. we just need to be a good society and take care of each other.

      We can’t outbreed stupid: stupid breeds like rabbits. If that’s what our planet is depending on, it’s a lost battle from square one. Having a kid just so it can be a footsoldier against a hoard of orcs is cruel as fuck.
