Please proceed, Mr. Vance

JD Vance is the only VP nominee in modern history to have *negative* poll numbers when he was nominated. But finding himself in a hole, he continues to dig. 

His latest shtick is to question the loyalty and patriotism of childless Americans. That amounts to over 100 million potential voters.

"In 2023, an estimated 38 percent of American adults did not have biological children, or roughly 101 million people nationwide, according to a Globe analysis of data from the US Census Bureau’s Survey of Income and Program Participation. About 46 million of them are women.

"In a 2021 Fox News clip, the Ohio Republican and Republican nominee for vice president referred to Harris and other top Democrats as “childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made.”

"Despite Vance’s specific calling out of “cat ladies,” a much higher share of childless American adults are men, the survey data show. Nearly 43 percent of adult men — roughly 55 million people — did not have their own biological children in 2023, compared with just 34.3 percent of adult women, the Globe’s analysis found."

JD Vance is another exhibit in support of my hypothesis that, in humans, the traits of high intelligence and good judgement are unlinked.
