“[Childless] leaders don’t have enough of an investment in the future of our country”
“When you go to the polls in this country as a parent, you should have more power…. You should have more of an ability to speak your voice in our democratic republic than people who don’t have kids. Let’s face the consequences and the reality. If you don’t have as much of an investment in the future of this country, maybe you shouldn’t get nearly the same voice.”
–JD Vance. “JD Vance on Our Civilizational Crisis” Intercollegiate Studies Institute, Sept. 7th 2021 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBrEng3xQYo

Oh, for heaven’s sake. May next he’ll suggest that all of us childless ones should just go ahead and shoot ourselves for the good of the country.

I thought JD Vance’s wife’s response when asked to explain her husband’s theory on voting rights was almost comical when she explained “…the government frequently works against families or makes it harder for them…” (as if that explains anything), but ironically she said this the day he skipped the Senate vote on increasing child tax credit for a photo op at the border.
