The remora of JPP
Let's say you and the NY Times are correct, what does that mean?I was mistaken.
I was concentrating on the low birth rate of progressives.
The NYTimes article did not mention that.

It’s in the title of the thread. The future does not bode well for progressive ideology in developed countries.Let's say you and the NY Times are correct, what does that mean?
So are you saying that conservative families don't produce progressives?It’s in the title of the thread. The future does not bode well for progressive ideology.
Birthrates among progressives are declining much faster than birthrates among conservatives in America and elsewhere in the developed world. As recently as the 1980s, conservatives and progressives were about equally likely to have kids, but now there’s a widening gap, with fewer and fewer left-of-center people reproducing — almost as though a spirit of pessimism is encouraging the left to cede the future to conservatism.
No. Although I suspect if a child grows up in a family that has conservative values he or she is more likely to be a conservative also.So are you saying that conservative families don't produce progressives?
They don't when you don't have the heroin to turn them to the dark side. LoL. An organism that depends on a controlled substance for its reproductive strategy....So are you saying that conservative families don't produce progressives?
As a progressive ( I assume you are based on your handle) I’d be interested in your thoughts as to why progressives in developed countries have a significantly lower birth rate than conservatives.Oh GMAFB! Yet another pedigreed right wing wonk giving dubious conclusions based on limited raw numbers and excluding extenuating factors.
This is not the first time this joker has blathered on: www.historynewsnetwork.org/article/where-ross-douthat-goes-wrong
And what's really funny is that our resident Magats look to the NY Times ... of whom they not long ago vilified as a leftist rag. Which contradicted the FACT that the NY Times gave Judith Miller virtual carte blanche to lie her ass off regarding Iraq and the precursors to invasion by the Shrub.
You can't make this stuff up, dear readers.
No data to support that. I came from a Christian conservative family.No. Although I suspect if a child grows up in a family that has conservative values he or she is more likely to be a conservative also.
That was my opinion . I never said there was although there might be a study on that.No data to support that.
Me too.I came from a Christian conservative family.
When did you start doing heroin?No data to support that. I came from a Christian conservative family.
If your OP is true then the reason would be that Christian families heed to the commandment that says to be fruitful and multiply.That was my opinion . I never said there was although there might be a study on that.
Me too.
When did you?When did you start doing heroin?
Then that would be a fairly recent development.If your OP is true then the reason would be that Christian families heed to the commandment that says to be fruitful and multiply.
1998 9/11 planning.When did you?
Of course not. The article explains why. It’s behind a paywall so I’ll try to explain.
First, here is the research:
View attachment 58175
Progressives have been more and more pessimistic about the future, conservatives, more optimistic .
Progressives tend to incur much higher student loans for useless college degrees obtained from private liberal arts schools and consequently delay indefinitely starting a family or never have one.
Conservatives tend towards STEM degrees or trade schools so they start earning and contributing to society earlier.
There are other reasons for their pessimism but this is a good place to start with discussion.
Incels and dykes tend not to reproduce. Evolution has a way of purging flaws in the species.
this is called 'cope'LOOKS AS THOUGH THE MAGA MORONS ARE IN HIGH DUDGEON AGAIN...OR (MORE LIKELY) STILL.
The left owns you assholes.
We leftists love every bone in your collective heads.
Is that so? In what numbers, exactly? Or is that something that your cult told you?I was going to get to that but we never got past the discussion that progressives take out unrealistic student loans to get useless degrees from private liberal arts colleges and end up working as baristas.
