JD: "We're effectively run in this country via the Democrats, via our corporate oligarchs, by a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they've made. And so they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too. And it's just a basic fact."

Usha: “I think what I would say is, let's try to look at the real conversation that he's trying to have"

Okay Usah, what you're saying at best is that your husband, who is vying for the role of backup-President-of-the-United-States is such a poor communicator that he openly insults more than half of women in the USA (more than 50% of women are childless in the USA source). Thats a pretty horrible defense.

Usah: "“there are a lot of other reasons why people may choose not to have families, and many of those reasons are very good.”

Wait, so you think there are "bad" reasons for not choosing to have kids? As in, having kids has to be the default and if you don't then thats a problem? Usah, can I recommend a book for you to read by Atwood "The Handmaiden's tale"?

Ask the Vances: So if a women doesn't have a "good reason" to not have kids then what... Who decides what's a good reason?...

These psychopaths want women tied to the stove and forced to have kids until they die. The wealthy elite are afraid their won't be enough poor, unhealthy, and uneducated people to exploit so forcing them to have children is the only answer they can come up with. Immigration? Conservatives: Never! Improving social safety net? Conservatives: That's communism! Improve pay? Conservatives: ROFL! Force women to be brood sows via removing medical care, removing women's autonomy in marriage/education/voting/sex? Conservatives: Now we're talking!

Yeah, let's try and look at what was being said by changing the words.

"Let me tell you what he really meant in vague terms that don't actually contradict the meaning of him saying those cat ladies want to make everyone miserable."

Hey Usha, as a not-white person, how do you feel about your husband staunchly supporting white supremacists?

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 21 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

She thinks she'll get a pass.

*Oh but apparently (some?) Indians think they're high on the racial ladder.

I think it could be an artifact of the Indian caste system, which is highly correlated (despite being refuted by many who benefit from the caste system), shall we say, with skin tone.
