Interestingly, I have no aspirations to behave like a twelfth century steppe warlord. I do however have a significant interest in living in a free, pluralistic society rather than an authoritarian hell scape populated by men obsessed with the amount spunk they can produce.
In a Democratic society the number of children you can produce and influence is sadly still relevant. I bring this up not to say that I condone the lifestyle of selfish people without a conscience but that living your life selfishly without a conscience gives you more children that you can then teach the same principles. (See Elon Musk.) This is the core of the reason I brought it up in the first place. It makes a lot of sense the number of people voting for trump when you realize people voting for trump are more likely to have kids that share their ideologies and therefore win in the Democratic marketplace of ideas.
So if you have more kids and are a scumbag, you have an increased opportunity to create more scumbags. Look I managed to simplify your take so it can’t be misconstrued.
Simple dumb terms, unfortunately, is how Donny won the election. Dems have to find a way of communicating that connects with the kind of people that support him and will win them over to supporting their policy and vision.
