I don't believe Muslims is a political party. But yes, I agree that Republicans in America are closer to Muslim theological societies than western liberal societies.
> Republicans believe in liberty from the government, not liberty from social and moral norms.
And liberty from government is exactly what I seek. I don't want government telling me to produce children.
> Because kids are a positive externality that society needs and everyone benefits from. Nobody likes it when they do the work and other people won’t carry their weight.
Right. And I have been shortchanged enough in life where I also don't like that I did so much work but others didn't carry their weight. My life also matters. I am battered and I cannot afford (mentally, physically and financially) to raise children in the precarious American society. We are in agreement then that other people need to carry their weight before I start having children.
