    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.

        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.

      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.
