WE’RE GOING TO WIN
Powerline ^ | 18 Feb 2025 | John Hinderaker

Posted on 02/19/2025 6:07:43 AM PST by Rummyfan

It is often said that the future belongs to those who show up. And the most relevant way of showing up, is having children.

Anecdotally, it has been obvious for a long time that conservatives are more likely to have children than liberals, and apt to have more children. But the data are clear, and getting clearer:

The "relationship between voting Republican and having more babies is growing stronger over time." Given that Ds respond to R presidential elections by having fewer babies, this relationship could grow even stronger in the next 4 years...

I think it is totally rational for liberals to respond to President Trump’s election by not having children. I encourage them to stand firm in that decision. And never forget global warming! Who can contemplate bringing into being a new generation, when the Earth might get warmer? (Or colder, since it’s “climate change.”)

Demographics are destiny. Thus, just as China is a country that is destined to shrink dramatically, the U.S. is a country that is destined to get redder.

Liberals live for themselves. Conservatives live for their children.

they said the same thing in early 2000s during G W MORON’s term.

Then obama and the neoCON repubs flooded america with 100s of millions of illegals. They don’t have to have kids. They just have replace you and groom your kids.

yep, I have known this for ages. Liberals are breeding themselves out of history. And good riddance I say. I did my part and had 4 children.

And then they send them to public schools/universities that groom them into Leftism.

Why do people presume that liberals are born and not made?

The reason that leftists have capture all the educational institutions and ramp up their propaganda machine in society is to CONVERT conservatives’ children to be leftists. I have seen it happen countless times, including in my own extended family.

Among Jews, the large liberal contingent that votes Democrat have about 1.4 children per woman.

The Orthodox who vastly vote Republican have 6.

I’m optimistic!

I wanted a big family — eight kids would have been wonderful. Still haven’t found the guy I’d trust to father them and raise them right, so my ambitions are scaled down to four or five now. :/

That would imply that political leanings are hereditary. How many of you freepers have kids that vote for the Rats?

This is the truth. Conservatism is the target of liberal colleges and universities

I have a 23-year old son who is a Bernie Bro, and a 25-year old stepson who has been in my life since he was 15 months old and is a full-on 4chan alt-righter, doomsday prepper with an arsenal of weapons and ammo.

Love them both. My son and I just avoid talking politics, but he respects our differing points of view.

The Left may have fewer children, but they make a career of corrupting all children by controlling education, entertainment, traditional media, social media, psychology/psychiatry and organizations like Girl Scouts.

Many conservative parents have lost their children to groomers.

“We Will Win”
from the Japanese anime, Robotech
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwSvH-bsNJ4

Lyrics:

Life is only what we choose to make it,
Let’s just take it,
Let us be free.
We can find the glory we all dream of
And with our love,
We can win.

As the battle goes on we feel stronger,
How much longer
Must this go on?
Each and every day we dream of winning
And beginning
A new life.

Still,
We must fight or face defeat -
We must stand tall and not retreat.
With our strength we’ll find the might,
There’s no fight we can’t fight
Together
Oh together
We can win.

Blessed
With strong hearts that beat as one,
Watch us soar,
And with love that conquers all
We’ll win this battle,
This last battle,
We will win
We must win
We will win
We must win
We will win
We can win.

A lot of that happens in their first year of college, if they don't choose well.

Trump promised to stop it. A campaign promise that I hope he delivers.

No, they become “teachers” who poison good kids and undermine families.

Yep. It worked to perfection in the Garden of Eden. The evil promise that you can become your own god is too seductive, even though it always leads to destruction.

Hinderaker’s wrong. Democrats have lots of children. They’re just not sure who their fathers are.

Republicans, on the other hand, not only know who their children are, they even know who their grandchildren are. Unlike poor Navy Joan Roberts.

“Democrats have lots of children.”

No, they don’t. Democrats have more dogs than children.

I have six children, two of them “angry” white males. All of them have kept the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Faith through attendance at the Latin Mass, the mass of the saints. We have been extremely blessed through our family. God always provides, and though it has not been easy, it has been a great ride. Even if nuclear war comes upon us and the world is destroyed by fire, we will rejoice for we know that those who are in the state of Grace have nothing to fear.
