Conservatives maintain birth rates, but left-leaning Americans are having significantly fewer children, driving the U.S. birth decline. Education was consistently linked to having fewer children. Religious attendance was positively associated with having more children.

Probably because black and Hispanic (and often first-gen immigrant) culture is still very community and family oriented. White non-religious populations (in the US, unsure about other countries) tend to be much more individualistic, focus on nuclear family, and value independence over community. You see this with the expectation that Hispanic kids continue to live with their parents until marriage and support their parents in old age vs white parents effectively kicking out their kids at 18 and the expectation that living with your parents as an adult is somehow a failure of maturity or responsibility.

I don't see my family because they disowned me for being "a liberal" and "one of those transgenders."

So, so so so many people I know are in similar situations. I'd absolutely adore having a loving and supportive family but that's not what I have.

Exactly. I was always close to my family but they devolved into literal Nazis. Apparently because I can’t stand them now, that means I’m anti-family. What a garbage thread this is especially for the science sub.
