Make America procreate again: among the MAGA fertility fanatics
The Economist ^ | Nov 6th 2025 | Barclay Bram

Ordinarily Tim Adkinson, a trucker, sleeps in the back of his vehicle. But on a warm night at the end of March, he checked into a hotel in Austin, Texas. He had dressed up smartly: white linen shirt and chinos, hair brushed forward in an attempt to mask his receding hairline. On his wrist he wore a yellow paper wristband. This accessory was meant to signal to the people he’d meet that evening that he was single, open to dating and, most importantly, looking to procreate—a lot.

“I’m 32 years old and I haven’t had any kids,” Adkinson told me. We were sitting next to each other eating a dinner of roast chicken and broccoli in the auditorium of the Bullock Texas State History Museum. It was the opening ceremony of NatalCon, a two-day conference that tasked itself with “gathering the brightest minds in the world in search of new solutions” to the global fall in birth rates. The 200-strong crowd was full of self-proclaimed pro-natalists: those who believe that people (at least people like them) should be having more children, and that, if they don’t, society (at least as they know it) will collapse. Adkinson, whose solitary life on the open road gives him a lot of time to think, was concerned that he was contributing to the problem. “You know, the alarm bells were going off. Like why hasn’t this happened for me?” There was a flash of vulnerability in his face. “It’s not just trucking,” he said. “It’s not me specifically. It’s everywhere.”

He had seen influencers speaking online about NatalCon, and decided to pay the $1,000 fee to attend.

Just get enough of us old geezers to knock up the young babes-no Karens. Leave them our estates. The kids will be taken care of.

The H1-P visa, for unmarried Eastern European women under the age of 24, who must agree to marry and have children with an American man.

The feminists would seal the border within picoseconds.

These women need to be a 7 or above on the hot/crazy scale.

There is one little problem with MAGA women: They have standards.

Likely; but apparently women from a few areas left over in the world are reputed to be “old-school” feminine, which is like catnip to men in general, and a gasp worth of oxygen to men crushed by the last 50 years of gender feminism in the West.
