Conservatives are not at fault for leftists living like, well, leftists.
The grim realities of demographic collapse are becoming clear, even to some on the left. Naturally, they’re still trying to deflect blame onto conservatives. For example, prominent left-wing writer Matt Yglesias recently complained that “an interesting feature of conservatism is that the right is very interested in fertility, yet nobody criticizes Trump for neither trying nor succeeding in doing anything about it. Nor does anyone ever express any doubt about the ‘tweet charts while doing nothing’ strategy.”
