I feel like this is probably pretty effective. I feel like it should be a thing.

White women voted for Trump so this is never going to work

Not all of em! According to the exit poll data, 44% of women voted for Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election, 54% voted for Harris. I think that's enough to make a difference. ๐Ÿคท

So what happens when we have a generation of kids almost entirely raised by the 44% of women who voted for Trump into brainwashy conservative families? I already see enough 5 year olds attending trump boat parades and the such to give me concern. A conservative I know dressed their kid up as Capt America yesterday because they were "defending America" after the election.

Seems like it'd suck if an entire generation was raised in these families.

So it'd hasten Idiocracy? Kinda a IBDYBD problem I suppose.

Seriously though, I think the key would be to drive enough engagement with this so that this in combination with the obvious financial hardships that everyone's facing completely annihilates the birth rate.

I googled IBDYBD and the best I got was irritable bowel disease, lmao. I have no clue what that means, can you fill me in?

I don't see the trump voters going for this at all is the problem.

It was a joke. By the time that's a problem I'll be dead you'll be dead. IBDYBD
