Vance’s History Of Extremist Remarks On Family Doesn’t Stop At ‘Childless Cat Ladies’

Vance isn't just weird; he's creepy:

Vance REALLY seems to hate women without children.
Vance wants parents with more kids to get more votes.
Vance suggested women should stay in violent marriages for the sake of their kids.
Vance sees some government proposals to expand child care as “class war.”

He said children should get votes, and parents should control those votes. My ears perked up at that word "control". I think it shows how he thinks about control, he wants control, etc. It's always projection.
*He also said "ruling class". We don't have rulers, we have representatives. Nor should it be a class, it should be the people. I think he wants rulers and classes. I think he tells on himself.
- We have a ruling class. It's called capitalism, and the wealthiest 0.1% of corporations and families (a Venn diagram between the two is probably a circle) — your level of representation is proportional to your wealth.
  What conservatives want is to remove the veil of pseudo democracies we live under, and return to a direct feudalism with the Christian fascists ruling everyone. Most of them (e.g. Vance) aren't even true believers in this cause; they're just useful idiots/narcissists scamming the masses for their extra sliver of pie.

He's got the vibe of a guy who once lost a pull-up contest and had his ego severely damaged over it. So he went home and trained on nothing but pull-ups for years until he got really good at them. And now he goes around challenging everyone to pull-up contests, insists that pull-ups are the superior form of exercise, crashes school board meetings demanding that kids be required to do a certain number of pull-ups in order to graduate, and advocates for this bizarre idea of tying voting rights to how many pull-ups you can do.
Like, we get it. You like pull-ups. A lot. You think they're important. But not everybody does, and certainly not enough to serve as a basis for voting rights.
He should be happy we don't have political power tied to some other person's stupid niche hobby. Like owning real estate.

I have many concerns about these types of comments and statements that are disparaging towards people without children. It really seems like it's an attempt to paint whole swaths of the population (but particularly targeting young voters and the LGBT+ folks) as unworthy to vote and morally contempt. Super weird and shady.
- Agreed. On top of his creepiness....we have 8 billion people on the globe and that's simply not sustainable. Americans are among the biggest consumers, too. We don't want a rapid population decline, but a downward population trend is a good thing.

“We’ve allowed ourselves to be dominated by childless sociopaths – they’re invested in NOTHING because they’re not invested in this country’s children."
I like how he's admitting that he himself was "a childless sociopath" before he managed to impregnate someone. Shame for the rest of us that he managed it at all.
- His mom is a couch?
