Are Democrats really more likely to be childless cat ladies?
WaPo ^ | 02 Aug 2024 | Andrew Van Dam

Posted on 08/03/2024 12:44:54 AM PDT by blueplum

By now, you’re probably aware Republican vice-presidential nominee JD Vance has described Democrats as “childless cat ladies” with no “direct stake” in America’s future. We, on the other hand, have been ears-deep in data. ...

About 38 percent of Democrats had never had children as of 2022, compared with 26 percent of Republicans, according to the universally beloved General Social Survey from the universally beloved NORC at the University of Chicago....

... in recent years, Democrats have become a bit more likely to be childless no matter their age. In fact, they’re more likely to be childless across almost every demographic....

The shift has been most pronounced among young women, particularly those under age 35, who make up a fast-rising share of the Democratic coalition. That means we should probably acknowledge the elephant in the room. And by “elephant,” we mean “cat.”...

There’s something to this. My Democrat neighbors feed feral cats!

Good. Then we ‘ll soon be rid of them.

Democrats expect the Republicans to raise the kids but they get to indoctrinate them and make a living at it.

Which explains why they’re after OUR children. They have no children of their own to abuse and brainwash.

It’s o.k. for individuals to not have children. Not everyone is called to be a parent. There are social problems associated with many people not having children. Why is this a partisan issue?

Well, it’s an issue because the Democrats have so embraced the marginal as to marginalize what is normal. To Democrats, normal people are “weird”, “a basket of deplorables”, whatever hateful thing they can think to say.

First of all, weird isn’t bad, and nether is normal. What is bad is being lazy, a liar, a moocher or a thief. Everybody should be self-responsible, and everybody who is, whether weird or normal, is good.

The only thing society asks is that people keep their private live private. Whether we’re talking about how loud you play your music, your tattoos, whether you like to cross-dress or whatever. Both the normal people and the weirdos need to respect the equal freedom of the other. This means having a sense of decorum when in public.

Second, except for those whom God has hardened their heart (like he did with Pharaoh), we should remember the teaching of the wheat and the chaff. God allows the two to grow even though at harvest time the chaff will be discarded.

We don’t hate the sinners among us, and God knows this includes our own selves. Instead, we pray for repentance knowing that God has already provided for their forgiveness.

Now with regard to the cat ladies both Republican and Democrat, we should hope that they can develop healthy and fulfilling relations with other humans. While Jesus can cure any ailment, mental, emotional or physical, it’s o.k. that some people rely on crutches of one sort or another. Having said this, if being a cat lady becomes an addiction, please seek professional help.

FERAL...

My Democrat boss liked cats so much he fed a gang of FERAL cats every evening; that is, until a “boss” cat sprang from the roof and sank his fangs into his shoulder!

He shot the offending cat to determine if it was rabid. We were both surprised that the County had a drive-up window for such service...!

I feed feral cats. In fact, I trap them and take them to a local vet to get them fixed and get their shots...costs me a lot of money but it controls the population and prevents disease.

I'm a hard core conservative BTW.

I have two strays that guard different parts of my yard. No feed. No water. It’s lodging only.

I had four at one time, but two left. But I had a problem with mice and skunks that is no more. I had three skunks at one time that unloaded at least once every week. They are gone. The cats did it.

These cats stretch and strut and act like they own the place. They yowl good morning and sit on my porch. I’m really pleased they picked my yard. Really like these strays. But I’m no liberal, no Democrat and certainly no cat lady. D

The idea that anyone who likes cats is a Democrat Liberal is nonsense, I think most people know what JD Vance was talking about when he mentioned the term Childless Cat Ladies.

The term is a stereotype of insane liberal women, those wearing pussy hats, wearing keffiyehs, fat, yelling about abortion rights, etc...

Your basic miserable liberal who has failed at life and blames society for their misery.

Why do you think they are importing so many illegal Immigrants?

The women ComDems have the government to replace men. The ComDem party women are those voters who look to government instead of being married. And most of them leave God out of their lives, they don’t believe or think it is important. Big Zinger of a stat. Many of them mock the idea of God being real. Fatal error.

Another factor, the appearance and personality of Republican women are incredibly more beautiful. And certainly more friendly.

When I hear the term “cat lady”, I assume it doesn’t mean someone who likes cats or even has one or two, but someone who compulsively collects cats in the same way that people collect coins or stamps.

the responsibility for these idiots is daunting. Just the fact that they are willing to kill a baby, a baby they created is a part of them physically because they refuse to take responsibility when it comes to thier personal sex life tells you something

Remember back on the day Trump was inaugurated and Madonna was at some rally taking about blowing up the White House, all those women were wearing pussy hats, every single one of them is Childless Cat Lady that JD Vance was referring to, even though Madonna has children, she definitely is a childless cat lady, someone who made 100s of millions in entertainment but is still mad at the world.

Godless, childless, and infantile.
