Why? Because they don’t…I will forgo the vulgar pun. What they really don’t do is have children.
When I was growing up, four children was an average number. Catholic families often had eight or ten. But those days are gone. Now, there are fewer children across the board, but we can all observe that it is liberals, in particular, who have few if any. The data bear out those observations. Conservative women, on average, have nearly twice as many children as liberal women:
The childbearing gap between liberals and conservatives is absolutely exploding and has now reached 2 to 1 among women 25-35. In 1980, there was hardly any difference.
Conservative fertility actually increased over 40 years, showing the power of pronatal culture on one side! https://t.co/JQapX2ya7P pic.twitter.com/KGVUNDQnAO

Over the last 45 years, fertility has plummeted among liberals, while actually increasing among conservatives. Why is that? In general, the reasons are obvious. Optimists have children, pessimists don’t. Conservatives are more optimistic, in today’s world, than liberals. Happy people are more prone to have children. Conservatives are notoriously happier than liberals. (That is a post for another day.) Religious people are more inclined to have children. The reasons go on and on.
Liberals are well aware of the fertility gap. They try to make up for it in at least two ways: immigration and indoctrination. They think that immigrants and their descendants are likely to vote for them, and they control the public schools, so they can indoctrinate pretty much at will. Those strategies are by no means ineffective. But immigrants, lately, have been disappointing the liberals, and indoctrination has only limited effectiveness, as young people, especially young men, have been turning to the right.
So we conservatives should be of good cheer. Time is on our side.
