A new study reveals that left-leaning Americans are having significantly fewer children, driving the overall US fertility decline. Meanwhile, conservatives are maintaining steady birth rates, a demographic trend that could gradually shift the nation’s political landscape rightward.
It doesn’t have to be, but doesn’t it make sense?
People who are in tune with the real world and what’s going on are reluctant to send new kids into an uncertain future.
People who have been tricked into whatever the GOP/Pedos are pushing are more optimistic/tricked and are having more kids.
The left/right distinction doesn’t apply to people who are basically apolitical. A lot of people are like that. I’m not passing judgement, but it’s a fact.
I love reading about facts, have a link? Since it’s a fact and all
My comment is based on life experience. I’ve known a lot of people who don’t think about politics at all. I’m not sure why that deserves a down vote. I read about politics every day and I’m firmly left wing. But I’m not representative of the majority. Most people on here aren’t. We’re here because we make an effort to get engage and seek views on another platform.
Sounds like you have yourself a herd of anecdotes and not a murder of facts.
It’s extremely tempting to apply our own experiences as facts, but that’s a dangerous road to go down.
There’s a large vocal group that uses their feelings as facts in the US, and they are a collective joke.
This is a left wing echo chamber, so assume most Lemmy users are like this:

All the reasonable people left and went back to reddit, Lemmy is near exclusively controlled and run by far left wing progressives
Maybe so. I hope we can do better though. Otherwise I see more right wing bullshit in our future and it’s fucking depressing.
Sadly the deeper you go into the fediverse the worse it gets, if you disagree at all with Lemmy on any of the mainstream topics in any way, AI, tech, the future, climate change, feminism, renewables, nuclear etc you’ll wake up with 50 notifications as you get absolutely piled on
But at the same time downvotes mean nothing so who cares
Yeah. I’ve been moving more towards physical based connections lately so I think I’ll roll with that. Mirror neurons and all that. Time to touch grass as they say.
I suppose that raises the question of why we should engage on this platform at all. A bit of compulsion maybe. I’m probably just gonna delete my account since I think this is all a bit silly. I’m mostly just arguing with myself now. I don’t think I’ve had any really productive conversations on here.
This thread is proof of why Lemmy is so important and dangerous to fascists
