A comical level of projection.

Yeah but you're upset about the country falling apart. They got what they wanted, they're "owning the libs" because we're "so mad about Trump winning." For a lot of them it's that simple, they just want to see people upset, it's fun to them.

Wow, how bad faith. I never said anything like that lol. You just have yourself all worked up and confused bud.

But if you think they're so exactly the same I can point out some differences. One is their stance on gun control. I don't think they're EXACTLY the same on that topic. If you need to I can mention some more differences.

Never refuted that I made a mistake. I can say I did, I did. Doesn't bother me none, that was never the issue. It was you acting purposefully ignorant as a way to talk down to me. Take a step back, you proud about how you're handling yourself? You're not going to convince anyone of anything. If anything, people will have a bad taste on anything you say.

Instead of staying in topic you decided to spril into hammering semantics. The only take away I can have is you're either a troll or this is all a deflection from the question. Either way, I don't care. You're a waste of time. I'll block you because I know you can't help butb reply. You're welcome lol.

Oh look, an assumption. Proving my point bud.

If you can't understand the core of that question without me spoon feeding it to you, you're not worth the time having a conversation with. You seem insufferable.

What a child

Like a child

Really avoided answering that question huh

Really? Where are all the signs, the flags, the people getting tattooed. People are calling Trump God, building him statues. If you look at the MAGA cult and say the other side is the same, turn you're detached from reality my guy.

I know you believe this, but this is why people don't take .ml people seriously lol

Why not exactly?

Lol I love this, I love to watch people flail like this.

"Birth rates are going down! Do your research!"

"Well I did, and they aren't. Here's the facts."

"Nu-uh!"

Dude, take the L and sit down. You said to do the research, and I did. You're wrong. Let's just keep moving the goalpost every time you're wrong so that you feel justified in your stance. Sure, bud. Well, sure, I can do that too: if you look at the past 3,000 years, the birthrate is actually trending up like crazy. Let's not look at other factors like infant mortality, life expectancy, or anything, that would be silly. Lol, you are so absurd. It sounds like you need to do some more research, but I know that’s too much to ask from you.

Oh, so nuance and context isn't a thing?

I mean if we want to argue in bad faith, I got a pretty light day.

But let me do your research for you.

In 2024, the U.S. saw a 1% increase in births, totaling approximately 3.6 million.

South Korea, known for having one of the world's lowest fertility rates, experienced its first increase in births in nearly a decade in 2024. The number of births rose by 8,300 compared to the previous year, with the fertility rate increasing from 0.72 to 0.75.

Oh no, facts, your only weakness.

Ahh the old "do you research" line.

Yeah I did, and the facts don't support your point. Maybe do some actual research instead of typing what you want to see in Google and cherry picking, but I know that's too much to ask from you.

Damn, I didn't know Canada was the whole world. My bad.

Lol, you're clearly invested in one side and doing research in only one direction. There are plenty of reasons people would want kids too. There are plenty of reasons they don't have kids that can be changed.

You also pick out a chart that conveniently only has things that support this view called out. Ignoring correlation doesn't equal causation. If you think so, this site will blow your mind https://search.app/RrPkGZ5UpJcSrvHU9

I'm not here to change your mind, you've made it up. I've said my piece.

You call out all the reasons they should have a kid, like free healthcare. But ignore all the reasons why people don't want to have kids.

You also ignore all the reasons why someone in a 3rd world country might have more kids. Like mortality rate, needing more hands for work, etc.

Yes contraception and reproductive rights are part of it. But acting like those are the only things it's naive.

Yeah, you seem to be trying to make some point, but it's not landing.

There might be other factors at play. Deciding to have a child is a complex decision. But not having those things mentioned just makes the problem worse.

Also, speaking of historical facts. Even outlawing abortion and such doesn't stop it. They travel or use risky methods. Or they put the kid up for adoption which leads to a massive spike in crime. Which is why roughly 18 years after Roe v Wade there was a drop in crime.
