      for these people, kids are a means to an end instead of an end in themselves. like those insufferable rich hags who carry around a tiny lapdog everywhere just to show it off. either that, or the kids are “accidents” doomed to neglect. either way, i’m skeptical of the notion that they actually give a fuck

        Personally I don’t understand these kind of people either, who endorse something that directly goes against themselves (e.g. in case of gays in conservative parties) or their children. But I think there also is another way to view this behavior:

        Because besides being a father of biracial children, he is one other important thing: rich. And he only gains to get richer from playing towards the maga crowd.

        So how much do we actually expect his children to suffer the consequences? They’ll probably grow up privileged in good neighborhoods, get great education, own their homes and advance in their careers through connections.

          They will be fine, thanks to the dogged efforts of Vance’s political opponents.

          Probably.

        Well he’s made it clear that to him it’s important to have children for appearances and political points.
