Raise your hand if you believe that Tucker Carlson and FOX pundits are making a huge mistake

sliming people without children.. Ari Milber show tonight. Catch it on the stream. The author of Hillbilly Elegy (JD Vance) and the Tuck agree that too many people without children are making decisions affecting families with children.

i don't think they want singles to stop paying taxes that support children...do you? i could be wrong but the blow back from this latest "shit against the wall' screed by the Tuck may be the thing that gets him off the air.

1. They want to be able to cast votes for their children....

That ought to make for interesting divorce negotiations....

2. Their identity politics turned against themselves

Lee Atwater was the chief proponent of identity politics (God Guns and Gays). It makes no sense to cut out potential voters. Yes they do it based on race and other factors but attacking non parents makes no sense.

3. I think this whole thing has everything to do with Kamala Harris and her not being a biological

parent. They are starting the demonization early and will use it again when Kamala runs for president, just like what they did with Hilary. They just need something, anything to stick. And when one thing doesn't stick, they make it 200 different things and you get the "I do not like or trust Hilary" but none of them can really articulate what it is that they dislike her for.

8. Wow I hadn't considered that

That seems like a real reach for a political strategy but hey what else do they have?

9. Excellent point, I think you're right.

4. Said by two who are doing everything they can...

To stop the most beneficial thing we... childful or childfree.. can do for children, vax and mask.

They are vile.

6. Fox is killing its audience

7. The JD Vance "childless cat lady" crap is a huge dogwhistle...

...to MRA/PUA/alt-right morons. It's one of their favorite memes and is a constant part of their toxic subculture. I also think that Vance is doing this as a sop to religious-right zealots as well: the Dreher/Douthat followers into natalism and other trappings of RadTrad-ism.
