JD Vance says "childless cat lady" comments were a jab at Dem's "anti-parent and anti-child" values

I’m so anti-family that I want people to make a living wage with paid parental leave, have access to affordable housing and childcare, go to doctor without declaring bankruptcy, and eat 3 meals a day that aren’t made of garbage. I want kids to go to school and learn actual facts and not have to worry about if this is the day they get shot. Me and my cat-sized dog are so miserable with our choices that we want people to have happy, healthy lives even if we don’t personally benefit from most of those policies

'round these here parts, we call that commie-talk.

Republicans and Christians see children as possessions of their parents. When they say anti-parent anti-child they mean, anti-“be the king of the tiny fiefdom of your family”. They see the laws as restraining parents from being in complete control of their children’s lives, including those that will feed those children because it’s emasculating to the parents and because they don’t want poor people to have any leg up, and almost assuredly because of racism too
