They want slaves and desperate people; not people that are responsibly managing their finances. I don't recall any of the Republicunt politicians actually saying they were in favor of the nuclear family; but then again, maybe I missed it since I tend to not listen to idiots.

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.
low skilled, high risk modern slavery type jobs, and for prison
I think you repeat yourself.
I wonder how many women have given up on the idea of a family die to cost. Or toxic men
They don't want the nuclear family for the poors... They want as many poor, unhealthy, uneducated, and subservient people as possible.
Yeah, they want their slaves breeding
How else are they going to create a class of untermenschen
I can just see Musk giving Trump estimates of when his robot army will be ready so they can get rid of us all.
And I imagine it’s going to be like the timeline of “full self driving”.
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.
Fun Fact: Democrats are historically better for our economy.
They don't care about America because they are Russian assets literally trying to invite a civil war. I have sources.

their idea of nuclear family is more like fat man and little boy
Meanwhile the new president is both, simultaneously
Donald and Elon?
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.
But think of the corporations!
They want cheap labor. It's not worth it if it costs more.
If *anyone were really worried about the nuclear family and abortion, they would make it so that a family could live on a single income again.
FTFY
You plebs wouldn't have to worry about childcare if you just sent those selfish brats to work down the mines!
The children yearn for the mines.
If Republicans* were
The purpose of an apostrophe is to warn people that there's an S coming.
Republican's what?

This pretty quickly became a well liked post with lots of interaction and is remaining mostly civil.
It's hard to argue that this post doesn't break the new rule for "avoid politics".
Should this post stay?
How do people here feel about the "avoid politics" rule? Should it be rewritten in some way to allow this post?
I'll phrase it like a shower thought:
"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.
Thanks for the feedback. I would argue that determining what post counts as a shower thought (rule 1) is a lot harder than determining what posts are about politics.
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.
Thanks for the feedback
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)

Republicans aren’t. But they know their voters are. They don’t give a single shit about anything but themselves.
They do, it's called corporate welfare.
Reminder that Musk has fathered a dozen children. Welfare queen.
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...
