Why JD Vance Worries About Childlessness

Vance said lower fertility might also be the result of less patriotism. In Israel, which has relatively high fertility, “there’s still a fundamental sense that they love their country, they want their country to keep going. America was always considered by our European friends to be kind of jingoistic back in the 1990s and 2000s. We had pretty healthy fertility rates back then. Now that we’re a little bit more like our European counterparts, much less sort of innately patriotic than we were 20, 30 years ago, our fertility rates have declined.”

  1. The only way to predict the future is through demography.
    Look at Europe - within 2 generations it will be majority Muslim because the Muslims have 5-10 kids and the Europeans have 0-1.
    China is looking at economic collapse through demographic implosion from the One Child Policy. Japan has had a stagnant economy for decades because there are few young people to replace the elderly workers. Israel now has a non-Ashkenazic secular majority because they had 1-2 children and everyone else had 3-11.
    If American wants to remain American, Americans need to have more kids.
