The right: Birth rates are declining!

The right when they see no cost child care brought up: Socialism bad!

I believe that this is part of the Christian dogmatic pipeline. If you require social services, check your closest church. And of course you will need to be a member in good standing to keep access... Etc

It's also convenient that churches tend to be de facto segregated by race. We're not racist, we just setup institutions that happen to work in racist ways.

"That should be the role of the church!" The church proceeds to not do what they said it should.

Hey man, after my local church finished paying off their pastors mortgage they used the last of the money to host a bake sale!

You people are ungrateful commies

My former religion used to do this a lot. to the point people I didn't know who heard I was one of them, would ask about these kinds of services. The church doesn't do any of it anymore. they stopped all their charity efforts of this kind as it doesn't line up with American Republican values, and those are clearly more important than shit Jesus said. reading any manuals, teaching plans, and so forth that the church puts out makes this abundantly clear. Used to be Mormon. Finally gave up with the anti-lbgtq bullshit and the church hording tithes. literally against the dogma and doctrines of the church. 100%. They still teach in Sunday school for kids that tithes stay local and help people in need Mormon or not. it's a full on lie at this point. Other than child abuse lawsuits I'm not sure the church spends money on anything.

The right: [WHITE] Birth rates are declining! FTFY 😛

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 4 days ago

Yeah that too.

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 33 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I have no idea how anyone can think that baby baskets for newborns is a bad thing.

[–] VincentAdultman@lemmy.zip 14 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I actually have no idea what that even means... Could you help me out with some context?

[–] jim_v@lemmy.world 35 points 6 days ago (2 children)

In Finland, parents of newborns receive a cardboard box that doubles as a tiny sleeping space. It's filled with essentials like diapers, a sleeping bag, small mattress, toiletries, etc.

It's like your new player gets basic gear at Level 1, minus the bronze sword and 10gp.

Why Finnish babies sleep in cardboard boxes

[–] solarvector@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

10 GP probably isn't a bad idea

Love the video game analogy lmfao It paints a funny picture

[–] beveradb@sh.itjust.works 26 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I'm from Scotland and here, every time a pregnant person is registered with the NHS (we have universal free healthcare, which is normal in Europe, so this is pretty much every pregnant person), they're automatically enrolled for a baby box to be mailed to their home a couple of weeks before the baby's due date.

The baby box includes a ton of stuff designed to help parents take care of a baby in their first few years, including the box itself doubling as a cot. Loads more details here, it's been super well received since they introduced it 10 years ago ish: https://www.scotland.org/live-in-scotland/progressive-scotland/baby-box

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago (1 children)

CA also does this. they give you a lot of baby supplies as you leave the hospital with the baby the first time, it's super helpful.

[–] beveradb@sh.itjust.works 6 points 6 days ago

Good to know, everywhere should do it!

I'm guessing even in California you have to pay for it though?

In Scotland, doctors offices and hospitals don't even have cash registers cos money is not something the citizens ever have to think about when it comes to healthcare, I feel sorry for anyone who has to exist in the US where money and healthcare are tied together

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 10 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I've said it before, and I'll keep saying it. I wish every democrat was as much of an insane leftwing socialist as republicans make them out to be

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

I wouldn't mind Joe Biden from the memes.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 26 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I love how "socialism" is a smear in a country that has "e pluribus unum" on its money. Unum, only up to a point, I guess.

What's funny is the MAGAts that live there will HAPPILY take those things... But then still badmouth the shit out of the man who made it possible.

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 22 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Ok, so these are the promises. Now actually... you know...

[–] answersplease77@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

Take all the funding from police. Hire an army of nannies for day cares instead. You will save lives, produce more for society and have extra to give everyone $30 minimum wage

He's the new Boogeyman, because he has a Muslim name. Much like with obama. And memhet oz whitewashed his name and skin

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 19 points 6 days ago (2 children)

It's ok. They've trained their monkeys to hate objectively good things.

[–] Sauerkraut@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 6 days ago

Remember when Fox News called workers "dogs" that need to be starved to make us obedient? Never forget, never forgive

Affordable housing is a major part of Mamdani's platform which is fitting because he live rent free in their heads.

[–] bender223@lemmy.today 2 points 4 days ago

Don't threaten me with a good time 😏

penis mentionDr. Algernop Krieger, from the television show Archer, saying, "Stop. My penis can only get so erect."

[–] Hikermick@lemmy.world 13 points 6 days ago

$30 minimum wage and two parent households might be able to raise their child themselves

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 14 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Hey Foxies, how would you like to have an easier life?

That’s it. That’s the campaign ad.

And MAGAts are losing their mind on xitter

I already support Zohran, you don't have to keep selling!

Anyone taking bets yet on how long it will be before he gets "disappeared"?

[–] matlag@sh.itjust.works 20 points 6 days ago (2 children)

He won't. But an insane amount of money is going to be poured on a smearing campaign and support of an independent candidate, because to ultra-wealthy dems donors, better a Republican than a socialist.

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 11 points 6 days ago

Isn't that most of history? Liberals, "centrists", et al would rather side with fascists than give an inch to labor.

[–] e461h@sh.itjust.works 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

There will be a billionaire-funded recall campaign

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 7 points 6 days ago

Or constant 24/7 news propaganda against him

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 5 points 6 days ago

Or gets stringed along by the state at the behest of the billionaires, much like they did with Luigi, and gave trump so much leeway in his trials

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I am pretty sure whoever really Luigied Brian Thompson will Luigi any conspirators.

But in all seriousness, he needs a major security detail at all times, and he needs to be pragmatic about public appearances.
