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. π€·
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
Everyone in here arguing against 4b need to take a look in the mirror. The fact that so many of you are trying push against it is in itself a demonstration of why it's necessary. Respecting bodily autonomy does not have to be hard.
Bodily autonomy is the ability to choose 4b, not the reason to do so. Folks arguing against 4b have not disrespected the ability to do 4b. Therefore bodily autonomy is still respected.
Yes, posting a message on the internet while violating nobody's personal space or rights is exactly the same as that picture. You did it! You won the internet! You can go away now.
Go away
Now
FYI, you're on Beehaw. Please be(e) nice. I know it's crazy times right now, I get it, but we do want folks to still abide by our rules and such here. Thanks.
While it took several minutes to find your rules, your "spirit of the rules" document specifically identifies what I did as positive: regardless of the other user fake following the rules the spirit of their post was extremely negative and portrayed the other commenter in a false rude light, which I immediately called him out on and asked him to leave. This is a paradox of intolerance situation and you seem to be on the side of intolerance which I'm not a fan of since your bee nice philosophy appears to be explicitly against it.
Cute (I actually laughed, haha), but the assumption that meme makes is that it's clear the gal doesn't want to participate in the conversation due to body language.
There's none of that when you're commenting in a public politics community. You're not posting in a community for 4b, for example. Additionally, you're the one that made the initial comment.
By attempting to talk over and belittle others who respond you're acting like the guy in the meme.
This just makes βincelsβ, who are known to be too intellectually inadequate to get a clue. I wouldnβt put it past them to vote away your right to say no first.
Once the birth rate drops enough, it won't matter how many incels there are, the economy crashes without kids.
The economy will be crashing anyway.
It won't matter when abortion is illegal and rape goes unpunished.
The future is hell for everyone.
blessed be the fruit

I know what my wife's Halloween costume is going to be next year. That's all I'm saying.
β¦ sheβs going to choose that costumeβ¦ right? π¬
Tis but a joke. She laughed when I suggested it, so I doubt it'll come to pass.
E: I might wear the costume though. That could be fun.
Weβll see how things go next year. She might be wearing it for more than the night.

So, creating a massive headache for government ~15-20 years into the future?
Or what is the point?
