"It’s possible that, if J. D. Vance had his way, citizenship in the United States would be conferred not solely by birthright but by marriage and children….

The day that President Joe Biden announced he would not seek reëlection, the conservative activist and attorney Will Chamberlain posted to X a 'simple, underdiscussed reason why Kamala Harris shouldn’t be president': 'No children'.”

"It’s worth pointing out that Vance is not just a misogynist. He’s also embracing white nationalist talking points and a white nationalist agenda. Vance’s belief that biological reproduction is the main role of women in society is part and parcel of the far-right eugenic poison in which Vance and his main funder and advocate, billionaire tech asshole Peter Thiel, regularly marinate."

"The white nationalist right wants to seize control of reproduction in order to ensure white voting power and white supremacy. Superior (white) women are supposed to get down to the business of making babies; non white people are to be deported. Supersmart white men like Thiel, Musk, Trump, and Vance can then get back to the work of unchallenged patriarchy."

"These people believe they have ownership of the future, as if they’re holding the deed. Because they believe they own their children, whether their children are still children or not. That’s why Vance wants Christian Nazi-type parents to vote extra times on behalf of their kids, even though in all likelihood many of their kids would recoil at the votes their parents cast in their name."

"The phrase 'L’dor vador' means 'from generation to generation,' and is found repeatedly throughout the Bible. …

Living by the principle of 'l’dor vador' makes life fuller, inviting us to serve as part of something bigger than ourselves, with the goal that it will outlast not just our own lives, but the lives of our children’s children’s children.

It promotes a kind of selflessness that is also self-serving: By working for the future, you give meaning to your own life and legacy."

As Rachel Leingang and Stephanie Kirchgaessner note, Kevin Roberts of Project 2025 has close ties to the secretive, wealthy, right-wing theocratic Catholic cult Opus Dei.

As does Supreme Court kingmaker Leonard Leo, who has stacked the court with Catholics who either belong to Opus Dei or are thickly connected to it. Opus Dei was born in pro-fascist reactions to communism in Spain, and uses stealth and money to push theocracy.

"In a bid to discredit Chris Wray, Donald Trump has invited journalists to (finally) start demanding the medical records from his post-shooting hospital visit. ...

If Trump is going to make claims about what the hospital report says, then by all means he can ask them to release his records, including the CT scan results, and give a press conference."

"Perhaps now — almost two weeks after the attack — journalists will start asking him for those records? …

It is inexcusable that Trump’s failure to share his medical records has been largely ignored, even as the same press scrum was chasing conspiracy theories that Biden was hiding a Parkinson’s diagnosis."

"Trump did not like what Christopher Wray had to say about the shooting at a Pennsylvania rally. ...

I n the nearly two weeks since the attack, Trump’s team has not released an official medical report on Trump’s injury, only a memo from Trump’s former White House physician, Texas Representative Ronny Jackson. Still, Trump has continued to double down on his claims that it had been a bullet that grazed his ear."

Fascists have always feared laughter. Especially the laughter of women.

Laughing at fascists is powerful

Robbing others of joy is also how to manufacture depression in others. It's deliberate psychological manipulation.

Why was a laughing woman seen as lethal, not least to herself?

When early cinema weaponised the sight of women’s laughter, it borrowed from flawed psychiatric ideas about female hysteria

Authoritarians use children as hostages to their parents good behavior.

Innocents are used in political pressure games. Threatened. Followed. Biden's children were menaced. Diaries stolen. Arrested.

Children were threatened at school. Trump's people have done it repeatedly to judges, prosecutors, elections officials, opponents,.

Child separation & child theft is also a tactic of indoctrination. Russia has used that to good effect for a century. So did Stephen Miller.

Hmmm. So Vance wants to treat someone that's childless as 3/5s of a person.

Now I wonder where have I heard that before? 🤔
