I love how they don't realize these unaborted kids are likely going to be unwanted, unloved, impoverished, lack education...and instead of turning into "able bodies workers" they will turn into the criminals Republicans think lurk around every corner ready to shoot them

I don't think they're unaware of that at all. Until those kids become criminals, most of them will have to survive somehow. Given their presumed lack of education and prospects, that means meat to throw in the "entry level" grinder.
Thats exactly what they want.
They need poor uneducated voters to stay in power.
They need poor uneducated criminals to hate lest they focus on themselves and tear themselves apart.
Oh they are fully aware. More criminals means more prisoners, which means more money for the prison industrial complex and super cheap (basically slave) labor.
It's not basically slave labor. It is slave labor. The US Constitution still has codified slavery as long as you're a prisoner.
I prefer the Carlin take: "They want live babies so they can turn them into dead soldiers"
More "leeches on society" that they also pretend are the single source of all Americas budget problems
They need live births so they can grow up to be dead soldiers. Those are their favorite constituents because neither one votes.
And also because the Republicans can project their views on those groups.
"If the 'unborn baby' or dead soldier could talk, they'd say that we should absolutely overturn this election result and name Trump President again. After all, he will protect the unborn (unless they happen to reside in his mistress) and what did those soldiers die for if not President For Life Trump?!!!"
We’re all struggling here to cover the bases of social security and Medicare and Medicaid
Yeah and a bunch of extra kids surely won't increase costs of Medicaid.
This guy isn't planning past his own lifetime. Those kids will be someone eases problem. He just wants to make sure that he gets every penny he is due and that means they need more wage slaves.
POS nutjob. Our government is so broken. 🤨
Well, if you think about it, in order to take over in a democracy, you have to break the democracy first. This is simply a necessary first step towards accomplishing the given goal. There would be no other method that might work here, since military coups are particularly difficult when we make our whole army swear an oath to defend a specific piece of paper from all enemies, foreign and domestic.
So he must be big on making immigration easier.
Right?
He doesn't want more of those type of people. He wants the sort of person that has a name like "Mike Johnson."
Mike Johsons dating profile would read:
Looking for smart, white, christian, gun lover.
Racist is a strong plus.
Loose morals otherwise are acceptable.
Loose morals otherwise are ~~acceptable~~ madatory.
Newsflash: people aren't having kids because the cost of living is too expensive and the elite are strangling poor families, not because of abortion rights.
Sometimes I look at US politics and question how a country can be terminally stupid enough to elect Republicans...
My friend, there are a lot of stupid fucking morons that live in this country.
there are a lot of stupid fucking morons that live in this country.
They are trained to be that way.
