Sadly, there seems to be more Millennials ( and they’re liberals or extreme lefties )who are like the ones in the article, than the other kind. On the bright side, the “TREND” ones aren’t reproducing, so there is that.

LPNs of course.

They are not being licenses anymore in our state.

You are so right about all the unmarried and divorced women who are enslaved.

Good analysis. I don’t agree with it all but I agree with most.

An economic recovery such that people feel they can afford the children they want is a good start.

Cultural elevation of parenthood to a moral good and/or duty would help. Certainly something other than the message now that kids get, that life is going to be unlivable in their lifetimes from environmentalist dogma, that it is cruel to have more than one or two children for the sake of the planet and species ...

The only thing God cannot forgive is evil done in His name, because it can irrevocably turn people away from God, thinking that the evil is associated WITH God.

I wonder to what degree the sharp decline in religious belief in the West is because of the horrors of World War 1 and World War 2, evils often done in the name of God and Country.

The evils of Communism were all written off as the evils of nationalism or the leadership of particular individuals. Of course, liberals intentionally blamed nationalism instead of socialism/communism. It fits with their agenda of everyone in a godless universal socialist state.

I see what you’re saying here. It is indeed very disturbing.

Married women tend to vote like their husbands, and many are conservative.
Single and divorced women tend to vote for big government because that’s the financial replacement for the husband.
