Issue for the 2020s -- fertility rate

Would that be the same Trump who was the first potus. Not to get us in a war in 40 years who you are claiming would start a nuclear war?

Yes, of course that is what I wrote...duh.

Frankly I'm surprised he didn't push the button in anger after being voted out of office; he's exactly the kind of madman who could say "If I have to go, so do you all."

I base this claim on decades of watching this narcissistic, egoist oaf in action.

Probably because he was giving away secret documents to them so they could take over easier.

Well, that he was the most peaceful POTUS of our lives shows your judgement of him is pretty much 100% incorrect.

Let me guess, you watched his reality show every week and thought it was real?

Here is a news flash for you, professional wrestling is fake as well.

Even if we assume that the cost of basic living like food/housing has stayed the same, wages have still declined significantly.

People had children in previous decades regardless of the cost of living. The population increased by a much less in the 1930s basically because immigration almost vanished.
106,021,537 census 1920
122,775,046 census 1930
132,164,569 census 1940
150,697,361 census 1950

In 2020 over half the counties in the US lost population relative to 2010. Pennsylvania saw 44 counies lose population and 23 counies gain population

So is your claim that your man really won.

Duh.

Given the fact that it is instinctive to reproduce, it takes a compelling reason to overpower instinct; the threat of nuclear war and the immediate extinction of humanity at the hands of elected fools such as Trump or Putin tips the balance in favor of "forget about it."

Do you think it is instinctive in humans to reproduce? I think sex may be instinctive and reproducing is just the bad end result of a lot of sex.

Duh.

My claim is real. I have given the basis for it. You are free to choose not to believe it. At least I give a sound basis for my reasoning.

You, meanwhile, claim to be libertarian yet hate the most libertarian POTUS of our lifetime.

Trumpers have adopted new standards of truth. Where you can claim something without proof, or think it might have happened, so it did. And refuse to believe all the processes in place including courts and election officials representing their own political goals.

They're too stupid to see how this can destroy the whole democratic process. Because they haven't figured out that it can be used by any political party, not just theirs. Not just the Democrats. any party out there and in the future.

They're too stupid..............

It's really shocking the level of stupidity of Trump supporters.
You would think Trump pushing 2 total clowns (Oz and Walker) would somehow wake up the base.
Nope
If Trump can convince his people that OZ is their best chance to win the PA senate seat, no doubt Trump could go into the business selling them the Brooklyn Bridge.

Sounds like you are describing liberals after 2000, 2008, 2016, and any other time they don’t get their way.
