Not stated, but clearly implied.

I don't see how you can say that I implied same sex couples are going to be the only couples when I clearly said only a few.

Yes, well back to who will replace Biden, jump to minute 45 and watch Biden address NATO. Ask yourself honestly, aside from the slight tongue tangles from a born impediment, is this a man who presents as a President? Is this a man to vote for? 

 

The problem is that, as my drill sergeant once said, one awshit wipes out all of your attaboys and Biden has an ever growing pile of awshits.

If Biden stays in and hurts the prospects of down ballot candidates, resulting in a Trump presidency and a Republican super majority in the Senate, Biden might be seen as the most transformational president in history. Project 25, economic decoupling from China, withdrawal from NATO and more will all be attributed to Biden’s recalcitrants.

Yes you wouldn't want to hold responsible the people actually taking the actions. That would cause some rough cognitive dissonance.

 

The party of personal responsibility......

Project 2025, which is where the quote you agree with came from. As was pretty clearly outlined.

So you agree then that parents, as well as gun manufacturers should be held responsible for the actions of a shooter....considering it was their actions, or lack thereof, that resulted in the deaths from mass shootings.....

 

Or are you like SCOTUS of a Banana Republic and swing around like bendy man at the used car lot?

From Time magazine September 28, 2023

“Has the social normalization of raising children outside of a two-parent arrangement led to more children being raised in a one-parent household? Surely, yes. And has this trend served the best interests of children? Based on the evidence of how beneficial two parent (especially two biological parent) homes are for children, the answer is an unequivocal no.”

And since you brought up marriage…

“The evidence is clear, even if the punchline is uncomfortable: children are more likely to thrive— behaviorally and academically, and ultimately in the labor market and adult life—if they grow up with the advantages of a two-parent home. Numerous academic studies confirm that children raised in married parent homes are less likely to get in trouble in school or with the law; they are more likely to graduate high school and college; they are more likely to have higher income and be married themselves as adults. Research suggests that boys are especially disadvantaged by the absence of dads from their homes. These facts are indisputable.”

Did they discuss any correlation to institutional racism, redlining, and stuff like that as contributors to the numbers of single parent homes? Did they at all go out of their way to point out that two parents of the same sex might be better than one parent of any sex? Other than writing a story that would appeal to most non-thinkers and get the required eyeballs was there any mention of the greater cost of society not intervening economically vs. the more appealing cost of just harrfumphing see, see, I told you, I told you!

You forgot reason number one, the government replacing fathers in low income households.

“One contributor to family breakdown, which soon spread to the poor and working-class white family, may have been welfare expansion. Cash welfare in meager form existed since 1935,4 and some welfare expansion took place during the Kennedy administration. But under Johnson’s Great Society, which began in 1964, benefits became substantially more generous and came under greater control of the federal government. 

In the words of Harvard’s Paul Peterson, “some programs actively discouraged marriage,” because “welfare assistance went to mothers so long as no male was boarding in the household”

Bring on the baby daddy.

“A baby daddy is the biological father of a child, usually when he's not in a relationship with the mother and not actively raising the child.”

Actually during the height of Jim Crow and all of the institutional racism that entails single mothers represented around 11% of black households now it’s around 70%.

First we have to acknowledge what the data says. The married two parent household is the ideal model for child rearing and that fatherless children especially boys are more likely to drop out of school, make less money and are more likely to engage in criminal activity. And let’s stop celebrating the failure to achieve that ideal.

You still haven't presented data that shows a married couple outperforms an unmarried couple.

Yet Project 2025 fully supports Trump for President......so, that's your side supporting a twice divorced rapist to bring back the strength of the Christian married heterosexual family....
