The ultimate progressive achievement: extinction by ideology.

BRIEFING

Grant here. While liberals love to praise themselves as “the party of the people,” their movement is literally dying. And not metaphorically dying, but biologically. The legacy of the Left already has one foot in the grave, and the other is marching proudly toward it. Let’s break it down.

There’s something quietly fascinating buried in the numbers, and honestly, not enough folks are talking about it. For decades, the Left has sold a worldview built on rejecting tradition, rewriting gender roles, and treating family values as outdated extremism. But the same ideology that promised “progress” has done what no political rival ever could; it is killing off its own bloodline.

According to data from the U.S. General Social Survey and World Values Survey, progressives are having fewer and fewer children every decade, while conservatives remain rock steady. Since the 1990s, conservative fertility has barely dropped 0.1. The Left, meanwhile, is in a full-scale population collapse.

And here’s the irony they refuse to see: these are the same people trying to “save the planet” from global warming for a generation of liberals that might not even be around to see the fruits of their “labor.”

What this means is simple but, frankly, devastating to any liberal with the guts to face it. The next generation of voters will not just grow up in conservative homes. They will grow up in the only homes that still believe in having one.

Listen, this isn’t about one devastating graph. The pattern repeats over and over, and the data keeps proving it. This isn’t just about “opinions” or cherry-picked stories… the proof is literally in the pudding.

Blue states are going childless, while red states keep growing. Urban progressives are trading babies for brunches, and conservatives are quietly out-reproducing them by the millions. The result is a generational shift that’s no longer theoretical. It’s literally happening.

SOURCE

An underreported demographic story of recent years has been the emergence of vast birth-rate differences across the nation’s red state-blue state political map, as City Journal senior editor Steven Malanga explored recently. One rejoinder to the argument that red states have more babies is that they tend to be less urban. But even if we compare big cities only, stark differences persist. Fertility rates have fallen much further in deep-blue metros like Boston, Minneapolis, and Seattle than in red-state metros like Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, and Nashville. Based on estimates derived from Census data, the average woman in the city of Seattle will have 0.96 kids over her lifetime if 2022 patterns continue, for example, while her Dallas counterpart will have 2.23 children.

And it’s not just geography. The fertility gap runs even deeper… right into ideology itself. The Institute for Family Studies found that conservative women are having significantly more children than liberal women, even when you factor in education, income, and location. In other words, the difference isn’t economic or environmental. It’s downright philosophical.

Here’s a simple breakdown of the IFS study:

Conservative women have a clear fertility advantage. Across multiple datasets, conservative women average 25–35% more children than liberal women.

The gap is consistent across education and income levels. Even when you control for wealth or college degrees, ideology remains the strongest predictor of family size.

Religious belief and community stability drive it. Faith and traditional values correlate strongly with higher birthrates. While progressive individualism and secularism correlate with fewer or no children.

The divide is widening. Younger liberals report the lowest desire for children ever recorded in U.S. surveys, while younger conservatives remain close to the replacement rate.

There’s also the simple truth that the importance of family and pride in raising children belongs almost entirely to conservatives. It’s literally baked in. From a young age, conservative families teach morals, responsibility, and purpose, values that get passed down generation after generation.

Research from the Institute for Family Studies shows that conservative women are not just having more children. They are also getting married more often and at younger ages, while liberal women are steadily opting out of both marriage and motherhood. Many have traded family for the “boss lady” lifestyle, where the supposed patriarchy is the enemy and fulfillment comes from a paycheck instead of a legacy.

SOURCE

Using survey data that we collected for other recent projects from almost 13,000 women in 2021-2025, we looked at two key factors shaping the ideological fertility difference: marriage and desired family size.1 It turns out that conservative women don’t just have more children than liberal women; conservative women want more children than liberal women, and they’re likelier to marry, and to marry young enough to have more children. Thus, the ideological gap in birth rates represents two deeper, underlying gaps : an ideological difference in marriage, and an ideological gap in the desire for children.

DEBRIEFING

This isn’t about ideology. It’s about biology. Every belief system lives or dies by who carries it into the next generation.

The data is clear. Progressive birthrates have collapsed while conservative families remain steady. Liberals talk about saving the planet, but they are not even replacing themselves. They preach sustainability for a future generation that will never exist.

This pattern isn’t regional or economic. It is ideological. From Seattle to San Francisco, progressive strongholds are going childless, while red states like Texas and Tennessee are quietly building the next generation. The irony is brutal. The Left’s moral crusade against tradition has led them to the one place they never expected: extinction.

And here’s the quiet truth no one on the Left will say out loud… the culture war won’t be decided by tweets or protests. It will be decided by who shows up to raise the next generation. Conservatives are still doing that. Progressives simply are not.

The ultimate progressive achievement isn’t social reform or climate victory. It is self-erasure.

NOW YOU KNOW

This is what happens when ideology replaces instinct.
