J.D. Vance says he gets bad press because most journalists are “childless adults”

You guys! I did it! Like, with an actual woman! And, wait for it, no condom! You guys, I wennt in raw! And I totally came inside! Is your mind blown yet?

He just wants Millennials to be the happy and proud parent Trump is of his children- Ivanka, Don Jr., Derek, Barron, and he doesn't have any other daughters.

He wants to ensure that all children have children. His type is couches, dolphins, and little girls.

They're so fucking stupid. If they wanted to keep making the ultra rich richer, they'd give all of us enough money to spend disposable income. But the current policies are coming to the inevitable late stage capitalism conclusion where none of us have enough money to continue propping them up.

It's been decades of short term gains over sustainability, and we're at the end of that pattern now

This isn’t even bronze age bruh some primitive societies had women who specialised into certain tasks not have children for various reasons. Or even for paganist (religious) reasons.

Hey! It's an iron age belief system

Okay I’m super out of the loop, where did the couchfucker thing come from?

It’s because so many of these people hate their children and resent those kids for being alive. I have heard other parents talk about how much they wasted on kids bringing them up, and how much better they imagine their lives had they not had kids.

They want other people saddled with this same burden and drag everyone down to their misery.

It’s natural as a parent to think about life without kids, especially with how miserable it has become. Kids are seldom allowed to be kids. It’s all structured nonsense and constant trash like 20 games of little kid sports, which they don’t want to play. They want to sit inside and play electronics just like adults.

Parents also spend hundreds of dollars on things like music lessons, and the kid gets bored because Minecraft genuinely is more fun for a kid. Then they get angry and hateful at the kid.

Well what good are you if you aren't making future soldiers? Get out there and sow your wild oats. Or spread your legs. Whatever you have to do, do it for America.

Harris out here telling us we shouldn't throw up our arms when we should be rolling up our sleeves. Vance just wants to roll up our slipcovers.

I haven't really seen that honestly, it's pretty much a non-event. I have a kid, some of my circle don't plan on it. No one really cares.

I've seen childfree people on the internet complaining about people with kids plenty enough, but I always assumed they were a vocal minority.

The only time I've ever seen this topic as an actual point of contention in real life is people who insist on no kids at weddings. Which I do think is kind of a dick move, but also people's preogerative.

Infinite growth requires an increase in one of two things - workers in the pool, or wages.

Corporate sees one option.

I hear he left a lot of precious bodily fluids in his couch.

I dunno, I've seen some chairs and loveseats that look too much like their couches to be a coincidence. We might need to get Maury involved here.

Fellow childless adult here. Partner and I want kids, but we can't bear to bring a person into this world where the climate is fucked, reaganomics has ruined the middle class, and restrictive reproductive healthcare laws make pregnancy a huge risk.

JD Vance wants to bitch about childless adults, but he and his ilk are causing us to abstain from having kids.

When he’s not fucking furniture, I guess.

No no, he needs to stay in. He needs to keep saying this shit and driving everyone away from voting Trump. Since JD Vance is a narcissistic, power hungry couch fucker, he won't leave Trump's campaign willingly which is exactly what we need.

I'm trying to imagine what would even register as a gaffe at this point, discernable from the cosmic background dumpster-fire of Trump's campaign

He may get dropped, I think.

We're in move, counter-move territory after Biden dropped out and everything coalesced behind Harris.

Also Appalachians are rising up to shit in his face

Unironically, they absolutely do. Children are the punishment for having sex out of wedlock, and not only must the woman suffer for having this child, but the child must suffer because they're the product of sin.

I knew a number of people at my old church who ABSOLUTELY thought this way.

In this case I think it’s not even anything to do with the contempt for children. It’s just yet another way to mark people you don’t like as outsiders and others. Republicans absolutely love to demonize the media any way they can.

Military recruiting is down and their pipelines are weak as our knowledge and information economy have proliferated and thrived. So: do whatever is needed to make childhood so shitty being raised from a negligent and abusive household, and flyover country future economic prospects so bleak as an adult that an Army 11X MOS looks like a golden ticket out.

The military doesn’t want well-adjusted, emotionally stable and regulated to enlist for combat arms. Their need for warfighters outweighs the ethics of manipulating a society’s citizens to worship war.

And there’s only so many officers (whom they actually do want to be emotionally stable, educated, and rational) that they need.

Children have needs. Republicans don't do well with people that have needs.

“Why do these sexy couches keep seducing me??” - Jumbo Douche Vance

corporate greedlords have been shitting their pants over the declining birthrate

Imma need a source on that one. But yeah, a shrinking tax base and aging population is bad mojo.

No tactic, he's just an asshole. Just because Trump was stupid enough to pick him doesn't mean that Vance has a single clue about what he's fucking doing.

An Internet User made up that he wrote in his book that he put a latex glove between couch cussions and fucked it. The Internet spread it fast.

They want Gileon

Vance probably wanted a couch for a wife over a person, but had to settle /shitpost

Some folks may need to become a parent to develop this form of empathy, but it isn’t by any means required. A ton of the childfree folks I’ve met are extremely empathetic and forward about wanting to better things.
