Are Psychopaths More Likely To Be Childless?
The research will make you thankful you don’t have kids.
In a November 2020 podcast, J.D. Vance attacked childless Twitter commenters as “almost always the people who are most deranged and most psychotic.” And then, to throw salt on those psychotic wandering wombs, in a 2021 interview with Tucker Carlson, he referred to female democrats as “a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable in their own lives” and “want to make the rest of the country miserable too.”
He didn’t stop there. Oh, they never do.
Vance later referred to Democrats as “childless sociopaths.”
So which is it? Are childless cat ladies psychopaths or sociopaths? I suspect Vance is confusing the two because that’s what happens when you have the IQ of a squashed melon.
