If LibsOfTikTok And Charlie Kirk Are Going To 'Outbreed The Left,' They Should Close The Door First
What do they want, more people who won't call them on Thanksgiving?

Have you ever noticed how right-wing MAGA religious extremist creeps think they own their children? Even their hypothetical future children, who are not currently in a childlike state of existence, and may never exist?
Here is a tweet for you to look at:
That’s Chaya Raichik, the odd conservative extremist Jewish woman from New York, who left some kind of real estate career — it’s unclear if she was good at it — in order to devote all her time to running the infamous LibsOfTikTok Twitter account, which posts out-of-context videos of LGBTQ+ people, many of them educators, in order to smear them, defame them, paint them as “groomers,” and otherwise rile up the yokels against them. Often the places Raichik shines a light on — schools, in particular — end up targeted by bomb threats. It’s weird how that’s always happening.
In that tweet, she says, “WE ARE GOING TO OUTBREED THE LEFT. Cry more, Libs!”
Are you all cryin’ yet?
OK, well maybe this one will get your waterworks going:
She says:
I come from a family of 8. I plan to have a lot of kids. We’re going to outbreed the Left. Then we’re gonna homeschool or send our kids to private school so they can’t be groomed into becoming activists for leftist causes.
We’ve never heard of Raichik having a husband or romantic partner, and she seemingly spends most of her time on that damned LibsOfTikTok account, which isn’t exactly Tinder. So her plan may yet be in an “Underpants Gnome” stage of existence.
She was responding to Elon Musk, who is known for his breeding fetish, if not for his fathering.
We’ll come back to that one in a minute. Here’s Charlie Kirk, head of the anti-LGBTQ+, anti-woman, uber-MAGA campus group Turning Point USA, and the patron saint of people whose moms weren’t lying when they said if they kept making that face it was gonna get stuck like that:
Charlie tweeted, “Celebrating all the moms at our Young Women’s Leadership Summit this weekend. We’re going to win either now or later, when we outbreed the left!”
Dear Lord, there is so much to unpack here. We’ll do it after the fold.
OK. Let’s dive in.
If you are not familiar, please understand that Raichik and Kirk are two of the most influential younger conservatives in the USA right now. How much of a following do they have among actual young people? Well, that’s debatable. David Corn from Mother Jones reported that Kirk’s recent Turning Point USA confab in Detroit — TPUSA is supposed to be a high school and college training ground for little MAGA boys and girls — was mostly full of AARP-eligible people. Maybe they’re young at heart!
But point is, Raichik and Kirk are big in the white conservative MAGA extremist movement.
And we guess now they’re going to outbreed the left.
(Isn’t it hot how they talk about this stuff? Be careful, readers, we all might get second-hand pregnant from their romance talk!)
Kirk and Raichik might be two of the hottest celebs in MAGA-ville these days — it’s a low bar, OK? — but this “outbreed the left” thing isn’t new. Remember the Duggars and their TV show “19 Kids And Counting (Our Oldest Son’s Kiddie Porn Convictions)”?
We could be misremembering the name of the show slightly.
The Christian extremist Duggars have always sworn they are not officially affiliated with the creepy Quiverfull movement, which teaches that Good Christians must have quivers and quivers full of bouncing babies to raise up armies for God, and that women are nothing more than subservient incubators for the patriarchy’s sacred sperms, which means that birth control, even the rhythm method kind, is a sin.
But the Duggars’ beliefs are close enough that everybody’s always pretty much assumed.
This idea has been around forever. To date, there is no evidence of a particular baby boom happening among (predominantly white) conservative religious people — their birth rates are a little higher than the general population, but it’s not some tidal wave or anything.
But here at The Moral High Ground, as I explained in the post introducing the site, I want to get into the emotions that are behind these people’s actions and proclamations.
So let’s look at …
The Helplessness, Rage And Fear Behind The Fantasy Of ‘Outbreeding The Left’
Look closer at those tweets above.
Raichik and her nonexistent (that we know of) husband are “gonna homeschool or send our [hypothetical] kids to private school so they can’t be groomed into becoming activists for leftist causes.”
Kirk excitedly tweets that his side is going to win this war “now or later.” We guess whenever all those white pregnant women in the picture birth enough Hitler-Jugend for the cause.
This is just another impotent right-wing religious extremist revenge fantasy, the same genre as when conservative Christians openly fantasize about Jesus giving their enemies wedgies and sending them to hell after the Rapture.
We started this post asking if y’all notice how these people think they own their children. We’d also like to suggest that these people labor under the delusion that they must exert control over things God simply has not given them control over.
Raichik, like a person inventing an imaginary argument just so she can win it, fantasizes that by homeschooling her hypothetical children, or by sending them to private school, they can’t be “groomed” into becoming “activists for leftist causes.” (She means gay. Or trans. Or bisexual. Or woke.)
Kirk fantasizes that all his white pregnant mommies (and especially their strong white Christian husbands!) can guarantee that the babies they make will be little carbon copy replicants who will do exactly what their owners program them to do.
It’s two versions of the same fantasy.
At the risk of overusing “bless your heart” …
Where Do LGBTQ+ People Come From?
LGBTQ+ people and scientists have been telling conservative religious parents for decades, in different tones of voice, that kids are not gay or trans because of something their parents did, or didn’t do, or because they were abused, or because they were groomed. That LGBTQ+ folks simply exist, and it’s normal. But these people have never accepted that truth.
In fact, they have actively raged and refused to accept it. They refuse to believe that no child needs to meet a gay or trans person to suddenly realize that their burgeoning attractions are to other kids of the same sex, or that there is something incongruent or not right between the sex of their biological body and the gender they are pretty sure they’re supposed to be.
Indeed, the current crop of Gen X and elder Millennial religious conservatives seems to have it in their heads that, while they’re conditionally OK with some of their own age-group peers being LGBTQ+, they can prevent it among their own kids.
They believe if they can make sure there are no drag queens at the local library doing story hour; if they can take all the young adult books that reference LGBTQ+ stuff out of the school libraries; that if they can get all the LGBTQ+ woke characters off the TV; and that if they can require those damn groomer schoolteachers and principals to inform them if their child is openly gay or trans at school; that they can step in and stop it.
Nope.
Again, they’re trying to control something God didn’t give them agency over.
Chaya Raichik can have as many babies as she wants. She and Charlie Kirk can get a hotel room and put out a door-hanger that says “OUTBREEDING THE LEFT, DO NOT ENTER!” (Reckon that might piss off his wife.)
The pregnant women in Charlie’s picture can outbreed the left so much they get sick of outbreeding the left, to paraphrase Donald Trump’s quote about winning.
And yet, statistically, a metric fuckton of their kids are going to be LGBTQ+. Many more will just grow up and 100 percent abandon their parents’ screwed-up belief systems.
The one thing they have agency over is whether their children grow up unconditionally loved and supported and accepted for who they are, or whether they aren’t, in which case those kids will grow up and high-tail it out of their parents’ houses and out of their lives as fast as they can.
There are of course other tragic outcomes these parents can contribute to, ones where their children become statistics. We should mention that.
But listen, if those kids don’t come out while they’re still living in abusive conservative religious homes, they will come out when they turn 18 and get the fuck out of there. Still more of their kids — straight, cisgender ones! — will leave home, see the real world, realize their parents are religious freaks who have been lying to them since birth, and then they’ll start negotiating the pros and cons of coming home for Thanksgiving ever again.
These people think they own their children. They’re terrified the eeeeeevil Woke Mob is going to steal their children.
The real truth is even more terrifying to them: those kids own themselves. They are not their conservatives parents’ property, playthings or accessories. And if that’s what conservative religious parents think their kids are — and if they think “outbreeding the left” is a good, wholesome reason to reproduce — then perhaps we as a society should start rethinking whether they’re fit to rear children in the first place.
By the way, because it bears emphasizing: Where do these people think LGBTQ+ people come from? To be certain, we don’t all come from horrific conservative religious homes and churches, but enough of us do that there’s always been a bit of an inside joke in some LGBTQ+ communities about God’s sense of humor, giving so many of us to those kinds of parents, teach them a lesson.
People on Twitter tried to gently explain to Raichik that her reasoning was a tiny bit flawed.
Said one, “[G]irl... I know a family of 8 kids, all of whom were raised EXTREMELY conservative and homeschooled. 6 of them are queer radicals now.”
Another who seemed to be on Raichik’s side — in other words, not some dick liberal being a dick for sport, which this newsletter encourages — tweeted, “I have 5 grown kids. All raised with the same values. 3 are conservative and 2 are liberal. Sometimes it just happens. I was liberal until I was about 30 so there’s always hope.”
So 40 percent of that woman’s outbreeding the left has gone to the dark side.
Raichik replied, “They will come around,” with a smiley face.
No, they won’t. Smiley face.
So please, weirdoes, get on it. Outbreed the left. Pitter patter!
I assure you we are all triggered by the very notion, and also cannot wait to meet your kids when they grow up and get the fuck out.

You mean they are going to have babies and GROOM them into hateful pieces of shit?
I’m bisexual, atheist, VERY liberal, and I grew up in an evangelical, right-wing home. Rush Limbaugh was often in the background, as was Dr. Dobson. I went to private Christian school.
I’ll just leave it at that.
