If the world didn't have so many J.D. Vances in it, I would reconsider having children.

[–] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 75 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wow, he really wants to go with the "childless" thing, huh? Should go over swimmingly with Millenials and Gen Z that can't afford to have children anymore.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 27 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (4 children)

He just wants Millennials to be the happy and proud parent Trump is of his children- Ivanka, Don Jr., Derek, Barron, and he doesn't have any other daughters.

He wants to ensure that all children have children. His type is couches, dolphins, and little girls.

And that right there is some fascism talking points.

[–] EvilEyedPanda@lemmy.world 45 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Most of us are childless adults because of republican policies.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 11 points 2 years ago

They're so fucking stupid. If they wanted to keep making the ultra rich richer, they'd give all of us enough money to spend disposable income. But the current policies are coming to the inevitable late stage capitalism conclusion where none of us have enough money to continue propping them up.

It's been decades of short term gains over sustainability, and we're at the end of that pattern now

Print photos of different couches and mail them to any or all of these locations:

Don’t forget to add little love notes. e.g., “Thinking of you 💋”

I've been saying this for a while now that this anger and resentment over childfree people has become increasingly pervasive and dangerous and it really feels like we are going to be one of the first against the wall.

Even among otherwise reasonable people I know there is a shocking amount of resentment towards people who choose to live their lives for something besides children.

The wealthy want more people in the world so that they can pay employees less. More people, more competition for jobs. Also, more consumption, more sales.

That is pretty funny, actually. It's such an old-timey insult. He is basically calling them spinsters. I can't imagine this will catch on.

[–] sarcasticsunrise@lemmy.world 32 points 2 years ago

Hell yeah JD!!! That's my boy! Keep giving us this motivational locker room talk, you're the gift that keeps on giving! Keep cooking (yourself) King. You're kinda mainlining the LGBTQ stuff to the point that it's stale, maybe alienate some minorities next go round, that'd be SICK

[–] d00phy@lemmy.world 31 points 2 years ago (2 children)

With all his focus of who does and doesn’t have kids, I feel like there’s a good “precious bodily fluids” joke to be made here.

I'm a childless adult. I'm such a terrible person. I worship the devil and I kill people. What are you gonna do about it? My cats are literally tiny Satans.

Actually, they fucking rock. Best kitties in the world.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Fellow childless adult here. Partner and I want kids, but we can't bear to bring a person into this world where the climate is fucked, reaganomics has ruined the middle class, and restrictive reproductive healthcare laws make pregnancy a huge risk.

JD Vance wants to bitch about childless adults, but he and his ilk are causing us to abstain from having kids.

[–] 242@lemmy.cafe 29 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You know what else is childless? All the couches he's been humping. What a hypocrite. Sheesh.

This couch fucker needs to resign.

Vance can go fuck himself. And a couch. And a dolphin. And whatever else he gets off on. What a douchbag.

This guy is hilarious! He's gonna drop a solid gaffe bomb soon enough and Drumph won't know what to do.

[–] modifier@lemmy.ca 27 points 2 years ago

I'm trying to imagine what would even register as a gaffe at this point, discernable from the cosmic background dumpster-fire of Trump's campaign

[–] APassenger@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

He may get dropped, I think.

We're in move, counter-move territory after Biden dropped out and everything coalesced behind Harris.

Why do Republicans hate children so much? I have kids and fail to understand why the party supporters want children born unwanted. Do they secretly relish the idea that these unwanted kids will grow up in misery? Neglected, abused, worse? WTAF?

[–] Mirshe@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Unironically, they absolutely do. Children are the punishment for having sex out of wedlock, and not only must the woman suffer for having this child, but the child must suffer because they're the product of sin.

I knew a number of people at my old church who ABSOLUTELY thought this way.

Why on Earth does he think this is a good strategy?

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 years ago

Every time a new story about Vance comes out, I become more and more certain that Trump regrets choosing him.

[–] nifty@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What’s the tactic here to win voters? Alienate them? Are the republicans trying to neg women into voting for them?

I don’t think lack of self esteem is going to win them any votes, how will Republicans raising taxes on the poor and giving corporations tax cuts help the childless cat ladies have babies?

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

No tactic, he's just an asshole. Just because Trump was stupid enough to pick him doesn't mean that Vance has a single clue about what he's fucking doing.

[–] Omgboom@lemmy.zip 17 points 2 years ago

He's really proud that he found a woman who will let him raw dog

[–] LostWanderer@lemmynsfw.com 17 points 2 years ago

Oh, the poor little fascist doesn't like being shat on like he rightly deserves. ROFL, he should go back to couch-san for some more one on one time.

[–] card797@champserver.net 17 points 2 years ago

Large part of the electorate. Maybe that should matter to him.

[–] rsuri@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

Obsession with childless adults? Hmm, I think I know which major Republican donor recommended him to Trump...

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 14 points 2 years ago

This really smacks of "bloodlines."

All this thread gave me is the question:

What the fuck did I miss that JD Vance is now meme'd as a couch fucker?

I interpret this as "he wants even more bad press, this time from pissed-off journalists".
