It’s heavily right wing politics that are pushing for people to have more children, however none of their policies actually facilitate that happening. Their push to increase wealth inequality, increase pricing and decrease availability and affordability of housing, child care and medical care all contribute to people not wanting to have children.

Their policies are not consistent with their states end goals.

Cant afford it and its a fucking dystopia so…

What’s behind the US birth rate decline?

The Trump administration wants people to have more children.

Curiously enough, the latter points to the answer to the former.

It’s not just that Trump wants Americans to have more children - all the psychopaths in power do. Because to them, people are just resources to be used up and discarded, which means they need a steady supply of replacements.

And not surprisingly, people - being actual people with hopes and dreams and fears and doubts and loves and joys and heartbreaks and losses - just aren’t interested in having children who are just going to end up being resources to be exploited by a handful of fabulously wealthy shitbags.

So basically, the reason that the billionaire fuckwads want people to have more children is also the reason that people don’t want to have them.

I wouldn’t feel ethical bringing someone into this failing society.

I won’t spoil it, but I bet you can guess what they say would actually encourage people to have children…
