ANOTHER JD Vance hates the childless video: "Childless Adults" are unhappy, angry with no life meaning

https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2024/07/jd-vance-childless-adults-media/



Yet Vance, a Republican senator from Ohio, might have had an easy way of dismissing the criticism, for not so long ago, while speaking to a group of conservatives, he blamed the negative media coverage he often received on “childless” reporters.

Don't they believe Jesus was a childless adult? Isn't every priest, cardinal and pope supposed to be a childless adult? If childless adulting bothers him this much, maybe he's in the wrong religion.

Has anyone ever told him to just get a life? Like, to his face? In fact, most of what Republicans get irrationally pissy about could be solved by them just simply minding their own business.

At some point, obsessing over other people's lifestyle choices over a long period of time should be looked into as a symptom of a psychological illness.

My family.

My parents were "unhappy," "miserable," and "angry" because they were adults with children. (I know, I know. I'm talking myself out of existence.)

Exhibit One: Our mother was dying in the hospital, in a coma. My brother wanted to pray for her and it offended our father. Dad screamed at my brother and threatened to get a restraining order to keep him away from our mother.

Exhibit Two: Our father died. He disinherited all of his children and left $35,000 each to the neighbor across the street and two of my ne'er-do-well cousins.

Yeah, we really enriched their lives.
