At this point I think the GOP are just taunting people who won't bring kids into this. Jokes on them though, if theyre having kids from some sort obligation and not to love and properly nurture them it's just bad news for everyone involved. Have fun with all that trauma.

Where do you think we get new Republicans from?

Generational trauma. It's all just generational trauma.

And religious indoctrination programming children to blindly follow strongman authority figures and not require any proof when forming their wolrdview.

Conservatives are often very insecure people who have never overcome their own childhood trauma or understood why they want children. That trauma and insecurity just gets passed down.

I know, I'm the child of two. For the last 20 years I've been completely isolated from all my family by no doing of my own. I often wonder what the fuck all that was about. You know, the whole, bringing 4 kids into the world then putting fasicists into power. Like I got problems, true, but I'd of prefered keeping myself and not being a plague to those around me.

Yeah sounds like my childhood. My parents made my life a living hell then suddenly grew up and realized that everyone around them was broken. We have a better relationship but the damage was done long ago to me siblings and we still have problems.

Glad you're ok, and seem pretty cool from the little I know of you. We got a raw deal in all this, you know. I think it's OK to feel that way.

Figured out tags. You got my first!

This plus observing and learning from others convinced me that most people should not have children prior to the age of 30. This is time to grow up, party some, get established, and become yourself. Then you’re ready to parent.

Thanks for the nice words. I’ll keep an eye out for you in the future. Need to figure out Joe to do tags.

What country are you from and what exact "fascists" are you speaking of? That word doesn't mean what you think it means.

Republicans saying they hate Communism, then doing a Nicolae Ceaușescu speed run.
