Republicans: waah waah birth rates

Mamdani: check this shit out

Republicans: no not like that

While obviously this anecdote can't be confirmed, I felt that it would be helpful to show the difference between serious policy and fascist nonsense about "making more white babies"

What Is Liberal in Liberal Socialism
By Paul Crider
June 20, 2026

Introduction:

(Liberal Currents) You put the sign in your yard and you meant what it said. Black lives do matter. No human is illegal. Diversity is strength. Love is love. We should trust science. You see ICE terrorizing your neighbors, drug-addled billionaires gutting essential services and life-saving aid, and a far-right government assaulting democracy at every level, down to its foundations. You volunteer and donate to causes. And you vote. You vote and vote and vote—blue no matter who, because you know the alternative is fascism. But you see a gerontocratic and cowardly Democratic leadership missing the point and proving themselves entirely unequal to the existential crisis confronting us all.

You are Evelyn Normielib and you’re mad as hell.

You know the Matt Bors comic: a white man shaves his head, gets a Nazi tattoo, and dons white supremacist apparel, all while insisting that he is being forced by social justice warriors, or woke liberals and leftists, to make this transformation. The comic is funny because it surfs on the common notion that the popular media regards right-wingers as having no agency, that they act only in response to the excesses of the left.

Flip the script. What if the excesses of the right—the corruption, the lawlessness, the violent rhetoric, and actual political violence—are pushing some otherwise normie liberals into radical politics? And what if the inability of liberal and centrist parties to adapt to the shifting political terrain are pushing these radicalizing liberals into the arms of once-fringe political movements?

I’d like to suggest that this is at least part of the growth of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), and the growing openness of Democrats to democratic socialism. Indeed, a new Gallup poll finds the DSA has higher net approval among Democratic voters and Democratic leaners than elected Democrats in Congress. The same poll finds support for socialism among this group increased from 50% in 2010 to 66% in 2025.( See also above post concerning this polling result).
