Our Population Has Shrunk Since the Election
Political Orphans ^ | 1/14/2021 | Chad Ladd

Fewer Americans will be alive to see Joe Biden Inaugurated than were living on Election Day. This has probably never happened before.

Here’s the math.

Across 2019, the US averaged about 8000 deaths per day.

In 2019, we averaged about 10,000 births per day. That is, by the way, the lowest figure in decades, part of a long-term, accelerating decline. By the end of 2020 it was estimated that the daily rate of new births might have declined to as few as 8800 a day. for now, though, let’s just stick with the 10,000 figure.

A normal delta between deaths per day and births per day in the US, based on 2019 data, is roughly +2000/day, producing a “rate of natural increase” for a country of 328m people of .3%, give or take a kid or two.

The same globalists which created this mess are now telling us to trust them for the answers. Never mind their history advocating for population control.

Somewhat surprising that there hasn’t been more of a pandemic baby boom. I personally know of several “pandemic pregnancies” among my normally low-birth-rate circle of acquaintances, but apparently this isn’t happening at a macro level.

But will they still vote for his "re"-election?

One of the surest signs that a population is under siege or conquered is falling birthrates. A free and happy people are fertile and grow in number. A people under attack or enslaved lose hope for the future and births decline.

Politicians can use all the soothing rhetoric and lies to hide it but the numbers tell the truth.

But some 13 million were alive to vote for him on election day or shortly thereafter.

“Congratulations on becoming Great Again.”

That gratuitous slap at the end really annoyed me. Trump shut down illegal immigration. We would have seen many more deaths due to illness coming across the border had he not. One of the reasons the birth rate is dropping is, due to economic policies, it’s harder and harder to raise a child, so people stopped having them. This will be made up for by people bringing children in from other countries and being a burden on the welfare system. More cost to legitimate citizens and therefore fewer children by people who belong here. Most articles have no balance to them.

They will be spared the grief and heartache of the American Politburo, the American Pravda, the American Central Committee, and the new 5-Year Plan.

Given the sloppy analysis of the article and that it is very careful not to mention the total death rate including covid, I wouldn’t give the birth numbers much credence.

Did you notice that the article assumes, over and over, that the COVID deaths are in addition to the normal 8,000 per day without ever citing the actual total 2020 deaths per day figures.

He ruled the Soviet Union from 13 February 1984 until his death on 10 March 1985

Timeframe seems about right

15 million non-existent phony Biden voters have mysteriously vanished from the face of the earth.

I noticed that too as I read the article. The author wasn’t addressing total deaths to put things in perspective, something especially important when many deaths are attributed to COVID where that was only incidental.

Looking at the comments their audience appears to assume everything is Trump’s fault.

It shrunk a little if you just count deaths. It shrunk by 8 million more if you count fictional voters who were created in October and then disappeared as soon as their ballot was cast.

In that tumultuous time, comrade, between Brezhnyev and Gorbachev, how many were there?

Might we see such a thing, with all the elder democrats we have to choose from?
