JD Vance mansplains his "sarcasm"

Because it doesn’t fit their Christofascist conception of family, and because they think it’s a winning idea to claim that politicians without children won’t do a good job because they (supposedly) “have no stake in the country’s future.”

Edit, @anon61221983

Because women should ONLY be mothers and wives, nothing else, in their fucked up world view. We’re not people, we’re broodmares. :woman_shrugging:

Yep, of course, that especially fucked-up facet of their idea of 'family" too!

Trump claimed his health tips of gargling bleach, and putting lights in your orifices to stop Covid, as well as his talking about Haley when he meant Pelosi, were “sarcasm”. I think they believe the term “sarcasm” explains away being a fricking idiot.

Yeah, that and how much they and their cult members miss the patriarchal Christian white supremacy that was more entrenched in the past.

Hey, seems like we’re coming full circle now! (It’s actually a pretty short tour, isn’t it. :confused:).

If I was paranoid, I would say that these things we are seeing these days are the revenge of a certain people who were badly beaten in Asia and Europe some 80 years ago.

hang on, is that not the existing dependent tax deduction?
or do JD and Charlie only think that those earning more than 100k should get a tax benefit from having kids.

oh forget it, they have not even thought this though that far I am sure.

Rather than a positive benefit: if you have kid(s) you get a deduction, The Trump/Vance Campaign would prefer you have a punitive action: People without kids must pay more.

Makes sense when cruelty is the point of the Face Eating Leopards Party.

In the good old days, Republicans were solidly against women having children and getting benefits for them. How things have changed!

The obvious squaring of that particular circle would be to model the difference in tax structure on the stuff they already have for farming; and ensure that it is, quite specifically, prolific husbandry which is a tax-advantaged vocation; not being a parent generally.

Regarding the second clip where he says people with children should get tax breaks… ummm. The child tax credit already exists.

As do several comments here that already say that. :yawning_face:

Yeah, I’m willing to pay more to feed, provide shelter, and care for children and people, not more tax cut for the church/wealthy. The church gets that benefit to keep their mouth shut from politic but seem like that agreement is not upheld nowadays. Also, tax payers shouldn’t have to subsidize religious schools. If these wealthy donors or the churches can afford to donate to superPAC, they can afforded to be taxed.
