I feel like this is probably pretty effective. I feel like it should be a thing.

      By percentage, but the total birthrate would (continue to) go down.

      And now Trump’s gonna make it harder to immigrate, so the population may actually start nosediving.

        Yeah, others have portrayed that as the goal here.

        I just feel like I wouldn’t feel particularly attached to the fate of a country raised by brainwashing conservative families anyways, so it’s a scorched earth approach. Yes, you’ve broken the system, and it can be remade now, but those doing the remaking likely won’t carry your values…

      Not more kids by total but more kids by %. But it won’t be enough to keep the old people and economy in its current state alive.

        Is a future dominated by kids raised by these families one worth going through all this effort for?

        As I mentioned in another comment, one of the conservatives I know put their kid in a captain America outfit yesterday cuz he was “defending America”.

                The system which is made up of a bunch of kids raised in brainwashed conservative households.

                I feel like this is, in part, voluntarily abstaining from passing your values down to the next generation, which night not have the intended effect.
