The GOP elevates being a parent to hero level while defunding schools and every system that actually supports children. The name of the game for the GOP is to get their voters to think they are special because they are parents, have a job and believe in Jesus. Obviously the Dems don't have kids, don't have jobs and don't believe in Jesus then. Dem voters in the US are typically better educated, wealthier, healthier and more urban and the non-sense about being special because you have a job or are a parent doesn't work, Dems want actual policies and not ass kissing.
