Marriage and Kids Cratering Among Liberal Young Adults

Just live out your pathetic sunset, progressive boomers. You have, collectively and by large, rationalized yourselves out of the gene-pool.
Your ideological descendants are here already, and they are not doing well-

Authorities Arrest Members of a Far-Left Terror Cell Who Allegedly Planned New Year's Eve Bombing and Shooting Attacks

It's ironic, that the cause celebre del dia of progressives - disrupting society for the benefit of so-called illegals, which are anything but nonbreeding would-be "intellectual" progressives.

Trump must be in a lot of deep shit

Our gov is a reciprocating engine, operating as designed, transporting energy upstream. Naturally it will swing one way and then the other.
Watch, fascinated, as your energy is extracted and sent up the pyramid.

Kids are expensive.
Of course young adults can't afford them.

Not really.
1) If you're wealthy, kids only take a small piece, but you begrudge even that. This is why they generally grow up to hate you, and you (generally) even deny them an inheritance.

2) If you're poor, kids are a valuable asset. Their needs are met by the State, and your tax bracket goes negative.

I remember kids being expensive. Vivid memory.

You have children? ...Or had them, perhaps. A loving wife, too?
They hate you now, don't they?

A longtime friend of mine is a card-carrying progressive. He complained "kids are expensive" meme.
His wife ran off, his children hate him, and he has but will never see his grandchildren.
Plans on leaving his estate to a liberal charity.
This is the progressive utopia. The cost is greater than what you may spend on your children, and the end game is a shared room and lying in your dirty diaper.
Enjoy your disposable income. It's all you had, and all you deserved.

Everyone loves me but you.

Rather presumptive on both counts.

I did.
We were poor at the time, yet we never complained about "kids being expensive". They hear when you think that, and it hurts them.
I have vivid memories, but of the benefit, not of the cost.
