Maybe that's what corpos want, but I think the average american Republican is just so braindead hyper-individualistic that they don't quite grasp the consequences of their own philosophy. Seems like it's just "take care of yourself, I don't want to have to hear about you", full stop with 0 consideration for what that actually means.
You give them far too little credit. Most of these people are not stupid, just often massively confused about what they can allow themselves to say out loud in public without hurting their (re)election chances. They know full well what they are doing, and for whom.
They are fucking evil misantropic fascist shitbags.
I think op is saying that the average American doesn't realize they've been convinced to force babies into existence by corpos highjacking their religious sensibilities. All why not giving a fuck about the children after their born.
I suppose I could have clarified by differentiating between "Republican leaders" and "Republican followers" - the latter group being largely irrelevant to discussion because they'll believe and regurgitate whatever the first group tells them to. So by "they" in this case, I mean billionaires, politicians, and "influencers" of those philosophies
