Ali Velshi breaks down a new plan from the Heritage Foundation, the group behind Project 2025, aimed at America’s women.

The Heritage Foundation’s latest document, “Saving America by Saving the Family: A Foundation for the Next 250 Years,” was published in January, and its purported goal is to reverse the country’s declining birthrate.

See, if you can’t physically force women to have more babies, which is what abortion restrictions aim to do, you design government policies that pressure women into having more babies.

You cut off opportunities outside the home, you make the public sphere hostile to women’s independence and you create a system where the only viable path left for a woman is dependence on a man for survival. In other words, you drag the country back to a time when women had fewer choices.

            But this time the black widows will go to a procreation center instead of a prison, and their uteruses will be sold by the state or rather the contractor to patriot men…

            The hand maids tale, but without a shortage on fertile women will be way more disgusting

              No, of course not. But a big gust of wind blew my favorite hat onto the roof! Be a big, strong man and climb up a ladder to get it for me, would you??

                I see no reason not to do this! Do me a favor and hold my phone? I get really bad vertigo. Everyone I know is always talking about it. Here, lemme unlock my phone in case you need to call any of my contacts should anything go awry. And don’t peek at my browser! I’m in the middle of filling out my life insurance information and just need to assign a beneficiary.

                Anyway, here I goooo!!! Wait, lemme put lotion on my hands in case the air is dry up there.

            Its just too bad making it so these people cannot operate or propagate in physical reality anymore is not a solution, so sad.

        Can you imagine me supporting my entire household on my income? Forget about the stress of being the sole provider; there is no regular family out there who can live on one income!

        I’d rather die than have my wife be forced to be dependent on me, and that’s a BIG “fuck no” on us having babies. I’ve met us, I know what horrors await our combined genetics.

          Not philosophically. i was saying murder is bad dont do murder. But i guess thats bannable now. New internet is weird.

          I like community and stuff. I think thats better. I just havent found anything but high-school-ass tribes. It makes me really sad. Still looking. Feels quixotic at this point. Doing my little actions i can do on my own. Feeling like im wandering the ruins of a dead world. Like im never talking to individuals, but feds, people playing tribal politics at me, and myself. Thats what drugs are for i guess.

          Someday ill either find real people who have ever read a book. Maybe even one or two who thinks im cute? or ill fuck up a dose and die. That sounds more likely. People dont exist anymore. Id resolve to die violently, to not go gently into that goodnight, but i kind of hate everyone too much to give them that.

            The machine stares back, sibling. It burrows into your fleshy corneas and embeds itself. Becoming a translation layer that trashes critical thought and incentivizes reductionism. It is the void made manifest in the once beating hearts of the wouldbe sentient. It presents itself as an unassailable wall of progress, unstoppable and omnipresent. It is not. Burn it down.
