In an editorial published last week titled, “If Attitudes Don’t Shift, A Political Dating Mismatch Will Threaten Marriage,” The Washington Post’s editorial board points out that political polarization in this country has reached the point where it is now a prominent, often decisive factor in determining who Americans settle on as their potential mates. They emphasize this trend is now so acute it may actually threaten the institution of marriage as a whole. In particular, it seems that Democratic women are rejecting potential Republican suitors not only for marriage but as relationship material, all across the board. The message the editorial conveys—perhaps hyperbolically, perhaps not—is that as a consequence of this shift in attitudes, marriage itself in this country is in jeopardy.

Yeah, literal Nazi ideology. Treating women as brood mares to make sure your toxic ideology can continue.
On no! You can’t call them Nazis or fascists or they’ll become Nazis and fascists out of spite!
(If I had a dollar for every time I had that convo…)
Oh it’s not ideological per se. They just want the labor force to produce more labor units. That’s just business.
This is one of those things that really is interesting about the labor and capitalistic ideal that we have to have more people to keep the economy going. There are LOTS of people willing to do the low end parts of the economy but that means we have to accept that the color of the average American will get darker.
Basically they want their cake and to eat it too.
