When it comes to leftism, most of us have learned long ago that there is little that they can do or say that will surprise us any longer. So many of these folks are so unhinged and so beyond reasoning with, that all we can do is sit back, grab the popcorn, and watch them implode as they make num nums of themselves.

We saw this massively just before, during and after the election of Trump. How many of these loons swore off having any sexual relations with men and the like? One report at the time said this about the 4B Movement:

Interest in a radical feminist movement where women refuse to date, get married, have sex with men or have children appears to have skyrocketed since Donald Trump won the 2024 US election. Google Trends shows searches for “4B Movement” in the country shot up after the Republican’s victory.

“This finally flipped a switch in me, I’m going full 4B Movement and I mean it” and “4B Movement is my answer” are among comments garnering thousands of likes on TikTok videos reacting to the election result.

OK, yeah, sure, that will fix all our problems. Indeed, to many of us that seemed like it was a great idea. That should slow down – for a while at least – the promiscuous sex, the out-of-wedlock children, the abortions, and so on. Sounds like a plan, and something we can approve of.

But some of them have not needed Trump as an excuse to swear off any sort of procreation. Many simply do not want kids. Once again, that is fine by us. Less leftists being born into the world can only be a good thing. In the meantime, conservatives continue to marry and have children. We may be winning the culture wars simply by demographics.

Childfree

One example of the no-kids brigade is the newly elected Vice Chair of the Democratic National Committee, David Hogg. The young leftist just tweeted this:

“Like me? I’m never planning on having kids. I would much rather own a Porsche and have a Portuguese water dog and golden doodle. Long term it’s cheaper, better for the environment and will never tell you that it hates you or ask you to pay for college.”

Sure, some folks cannot have kids, and some folks simply do not want kids. That is their choice. But many of these folks who claim they will live the good life childless will later on really regret it. It can get quite lonely in old age, but again, that is their choice.

Another quite recent example of this no-sex or no-kids sort of “protest” against Trump and conservatism involves – surprise, surprise – another Democrat. As one media report says:

A Democratic Michigan state representative says she chose to undergo a “voluntary sterilization” to avoid pregnancy after Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election. State Rep. Laurie Pohutsky, 36, told a crowd of anti-Trump protesters at the Michigan State Capitol on Wednesday, “Just under two weeks ago, I underwent surgery to ensure that I would never have to navigate a pregnancy in Donald Trump’s America,” The Midwesterner reported.

Pohutsky, who identifies as “bisexual,” represents part of Wayne County, the largest county in a state where abortion is legal through all nine months of pregnancy. “I refuse to let my body be treated as currency by an administration that only sees value in my ability to procreate,” Pohutsky told the crowd of protesters.

“If you know people who are questioning how serious this is, I’m going to repeat myself: A sitting government official opted for voluntary sterilization because she was uncertain she would be able to access contraception in the future,” she added, according to Michigan Advance.

The concluding paragraph is quite revealing:

During her time in the state legislature, Pohutsky has focused on abortion and LGBTQ issues. In 2022, Michigan became one of the most pro-abortion states in the U.S. when voters enshrined a “right” to abortion in the state’s constitution. Pohutsky also sponsored a repeal of Michigan’s 1931 law that protected unborn children from abortion, calling the law “draconian.”

This is all so bizarre. As I say, it sounds like a win-win situation: less of them, more of us. But if folks want to refuse bringing children into the world, even if temporarily, and as a weird form of protest, they can do it in a free country. I am not sure if it will accomplish anything worthwhile, however.

Own Goal

It simply tells the great majority of Americans how abnormal, messed up, and out of whack some of these lefties really are. It is not exactly great advertising for their side. It simply turns more and more ordinary citizens off to their cause. The more insanity coming from this camp, the less that normal Americans want anything to do with it.

Clearly, folks like this have learned absolutely zippo about what happened on November 5. By every indicator, the American people said loud and clear that enough is enough when it comes to woke, progressive madness. They want to have a safe, secure and prosperous country, not one pushing every hardcore radical agenda item around.

The more these guys and gals open their mouths and tell us how they feel and what they want, the less inclined most Americans are to have anything to do with them. They will keep voting for folks like Trump, and keep turning on the useless Democrats.

So, as I say, in one sense, it is all rather a good thing. Let these lefty loons keep saying and doing all these crazy and annoying things. They only ensure that they will continue to remain in the political and cultural wilderness for a long time to come, while Trump and Co. will go on from strength to strength.

It used to be that conservatives needed to work long and hard to see their aims and objectives accomplished. Now, increasingly, the lefties are doing so much of the work for us. Thanks, guys, and keep it up. It is fun to watch the fringe left become ever more unpalatable and unsavoury to the majority of American citizens.
