Why Trump and his creepy minions want white women to make more babies


Get this creep to put me down. He smells worse than my diaper.


President Donald Trump wants women in the U.S. to have more babies—as long as they’re white.

“The White House has been hearing out a chorus of ideas in recent weeks for persuading Americans to get married and have more children, an early sign that the Trump administration will embrace a new cultural agenda pushed by many of its allies on the right to reverse declining birthrates and push conservative family values,” The New York Times reported earlier this week. That’s quite a dramatic shift in conservative thinking about family planning, which for decades has consisted of claims that “Black and brown mothers are having babies for those sweet, sweet welfare benefits.”

But that is changing now that the idea of population collapse has been gaining steam in right-wing circles. In 2022, multibillionaire Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk tweeted, “Population collapse due to low birth rates is a much bigger risk to civilization than global warming.” Vice President JD Vance talked about it in his first post-election speech, which included the words, “I want more babies in the United States of America.”

To keep the population steady, the fertility rate must hover at 2.1 children per woman. But according to the National Center for Health Statistics, here are the fertility rates per demographic group as of 2022:

Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander: 2.238
Hispanic: 1.970
Black: 1.639
White: 1.568
American Indian/Alaska Native: 1.47
Asian: 1.353

More Spam fried rice all around.

But seriously, this is beyond stupid, but oh so on par for this collection of idiots and ideologues. We all know what they want is more white babies. Exactly how do they plan to do this without giving up the whole game. To come out and say, "white, er, white babies is what we want" is just full-on Nazi eugenics.

I'm a proud cynic and always think the worst of my fellow citizens, but even I think this is a line they can't step over without giving everyone who isn't a dues paying Klansman a case of the heebie jeebies.
