They are demographics that are being marketed to for political and monetary gain.

It's the same as religions and everything else... These are just the hot ticket demographics at the moment that are easily manipulated.

It's curious to see "natalism" at the top of the list, when I regularly see "anti-natalism" pushed by the same group at minorities and other "undesirable" populations.

Similarly, Woke DEI Rainbow Capitalism was all the rage right up until the federal government changed hands. I wonder how many people will think "We Won!" when Facebook and Tesla pivot back to liberal pastiche.

Malcolm and Simone Collins, the pro-natalist couple who are reportedly consulting the Donald Trump administration on how to encourage American women to have more babies, are something of a deliberate heel: they often seem to be attempting to provoke the ire of their audience. The couple espouse the pro-natalism that is sweeping the political right with an explicit eugenicist tilt (self-styled “elites”, the Collins scan their IVF-generated embryos before their pregnancies, in an effort to select for features like high IQ).

Anti-natalism is for the plebs. Natalism is for the white christian american ubermensch.
