Every time I hear this "childless cat lady" thing, I really kind of want a nun to rap his knuckles. I get that Vance is a selfish dude who might only care about people in one's own family (if then!) but for many of us, we can care about many people, and even derive joy from the happiness of others.JD Vance says women who haven’t given birth like Kamala Harris are “childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives,” and have “no direct stake” in America. pic.twitter.com/3DJY3pQTGe

It's the image of Vance as the busybody looking with distaste at the neighbors: "Why don't I hear the pitter-patter of tiny feet?" (As he once looked at the poor white folks during his youth and deplored their indiscriminate breeding.)
None of his weird little busybody business. Women are not ambulatory baby factories. And yes, stepchildren count as parenting.
But it's where he gets his weird little guy ideas that should bother us--from some dark weirdos. And some straight up racists. (The internet notes he recently stopped following Steve Sailer. On Twitter, anyway.)
So the problems with JD Vance aren't JUST that he's kind of a stiff:
Employing a little joke to try and insulate himself from claims of racism in a weird little guy way. It's that he ideologically seems to pal around with the kind of people who watch The Matrix and think: "We could totally build one of those." That sees people as human capital and social roles as nearly caste-like--except for genius boys who escape the barrel-crabs but then pull up the ladder behind them.Vance: I had a Diet Mountain Dew yesterday and one today. I'm sure they will call that racist. pic.twitter.com/z3ra8Y5F2f

The repubs should take a page from history and do the right thing: demand the oldest, most cognitively impaired presidential candidate in history step aside, endorse his VP
The "childless" thing only makes sense if the game is to replay World War I.
Will white women continue to vote for a group of weirdos who hate them, view their worth entirely based upon the number of white babies they’ve produced?
i mean, how fucking stupid is the idea that people without children aren't invested in the future?
like, are they alive ten minutes from now? tomorrow? next tuesday? that's the future.
goddamn these fucking fascists are so fucking stupid it hurts.
eta-
frank, something like this?
"the children of england would never be slaves,
they're trapped on the wire and dying in waves.
the flower of england face down in the mud
and stained in the blood of a whole generation..."
All I know is, the people who think you need to have kids to be invested in the future are people I wouldn't trust with cats. The idea that women must produce young for some reason (labor, armies, livestock?) in a world where people themselves aren't valued is madness. The Republican party looks like a $1000 loafer stepping on a woman's pelvis forever.
