They're not worried about threats to the nuclear family and abortion, they're just trying to make people who consider themselves nuclear families (potential voters) think that Democrats are the ones who are threatening them, so that they will be more likely to vote for the Republicans.
They convince the rubes that you can vote in a different, more "traditional" culture than the one you currently disagree with despite not doing anything to move back to the economic conditions that made the "previous" culture possible in the first place.
It works to pull culturally regressive, economically movable morons into the coalition. But since voting out a culture is basically not possible because culture isn't created by government in the first place, they'll quickly learn that the PC lingo, "cancel culture", #metooism, and "wokeness" still remain. Or they would learn that if they weren't completely braindead and incapable of analyzing how their actions do or do not affect things.
They're not though. They're using that as a facade to spring families into poverty, keep them there, keep them uneducated, keep them popping out kids to feed low skilled, high risk modern slavery type jobs, and for prison.
A quick glance at both party's voting history indicates Republicans aren't going to vote in favor of the average American anytime soon.
Unfortunately, it appears most Americans are too stupid and lazy to do this kind of basic research and would rather have social media and talking heads on TV tell them what to do. Idiocracy.
And then treats them like trash. He constantly misgenders one of them and is actively supporting a government that is making them have to flee the country. What a wonderful dad...
No they wouldn't, it would be bad for their investments in the economy, with more workers in the labour pool the cheaper labour becomes. So reducing that worker pool would mean companies would spend more on each worker reducing profits. Same for any political party though, since they are all run by %1ers anyway. (At least in the USA)
The problem is you think of them as one group when there are two white supremacists / religious zealots, and capitalist. The capitalist use the first group to get power to get capital and keep capital for themselves. They want cheap labor while the first group just wants more white babies and less anything else. The second group justs wants cheap labor and zero regulations and they can get cheap labor overseas if there are no regulations so they don't care about mass deportations.
If democrats really wanted to improve our lives, they wouldn't have quashed Bernie in 2016 or 2020. What they did this year with Kamala was equivalent.
She was still a better choice in every possible aspect over Trump. It wasn't enough.
"Avoiding politics is about as useless as avoiding economics, math, science, or the arts; they permeate everything we do. We even use them to define what it means to be human. We might as well avoid breathing."
I think avoiding partisanship and incivility might be more productive, but it has the problem of being more vague and requiring judgement, thus requiring more effort to enforce fairly and consistently. I don't think there is an answer that will satisfy everyone. Avoiding politics may be a good rule for this community, even if it's pointless.
I think it should stay because I disagree with the rule. "No politics" is impossible (everything is political), so this rule boils down to acting like the status quo is fine.
They aren't. It's a waste of time to say things like "if republicans really believe X they would Y". They just say the right words. None of the words reflect what they believe.
In order to live off of one person's income that person either needs to earn a shit ton of money or prices needs to come down significantly. That's not something anyone can just make happen like that.
