she better stop voting for conservatives

Democrats have won the popular vote in the last seven of eight elections. If everyone struck this deal, I would expect to see significantly more grandkids than we're getting.

But also, states like California and New York and Massachusetts are seeing grandkid-gaps bigger than anything you'll find in Utah or Ohio or South Carolina. If conservatives are causing the problem, you would expect to see more Gen Alphas in the bluer states, wouldn't you?
