Understand MAGA's Push For More Babies

"With Mother’s Day this Sunday, I wanted to raise a real problem — but one that’s being grotesquely distorted by Trump and his lackeys.

"Births in the United States increased by just 1 percent in 2024, according to recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That’s nearly a record low.

"It means ever-fewer workers supporting ever-more retirees. There are now about 3 workers for every retiree in America. That ratio is projected to drop to about 2 workers per retiree in just five years.

"It’s a real problem, but Trump’s vow to remedy it — he’s calling for a $5,000-per-birth “baby bonus” and says he wants to be known as the “fertilization president” — has nothing to do with solving it.

"Like so much of what he touts, Trump’s “remedy” is a pretext for something else.

"He and his regime are not interested in more babies or children in America. Their real aim is to discourage abortion and encourage more traditional male-dominated nuclear households. In other words: patriarchy."
