I don't believe conservative leaders have plans on the society. They're just morons taking turns to enrich themselves.

If you're talking about politicians then I'd agree with you. If you're talking about their wealthy donors like the Koche Brothers, Heritage Foundation, etc, they absolutely do. I would not say it's the above person's guess about forcing more births due to lowering birth rates, but they definitely have societal goals in mind

It’s dangerous to underestimate them. Republican voters are almost universally uninformed at best and absolutely debilitatingly stupid at worst.

Republican politicians-especially their “leadership”-know what they’re doing, know the impact, and don’t care.
