You can almost smell the salt from the tears they where crying when they realized she did not have kids.

They absolutely wanted to use them against her.

“Those kids must miss mom horribly with all the campaigning” “She never talks about her kids, are they allright”

Kamela is neglecting her kids they should be taken away

Instead they found a career focused women and they’re so mad about it they are projecting once again.

They are mad that she does not have kids that they can attack.

She does have kids as a stepmother. They just apparently don't count that

The GOP wants to bring us back to the 1950s or earlier.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 40 points 5 days ago (2 children)

1850's. Definitely the 1850's.

They'd go back further but they can't count that far.

George Washington did not have any children by blood either, so got to be before 1789

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 10 points 5 days ago

is 1488 too far?

[–] lemmylommy@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

But he was a man.

Surely he was far too progressive for them. Although apparently “father I cannot tell a lie” was not actually a quote of his and has been mis-attributed all these years. So Liar: CHECK.

Absolutely the MAGA dream is back to slavery and women not having the right to vote.
End women's suffrage!

If you make a poll about ending women's suffrage, most will actually be for it!
Probably because they think it has to do with suffering, but funny anyway.

What is worse, not having your own kids but helping raise man’s kids with another woman or having kids with three different women?

[–] philthi@lemmy.world 12 points 5 days ago

These both sound like valid lifestyles assuming everyone involved is informed and consenting, neither are worse, because neither are bad.

Attacking her for being responsible and not having kids in the world her generation fucked beyond all hope of repair is a weird angle; at least no one can confuse it with an attack from the left.

Good for Kamala. It is not the same as back then.
