JD Vance's comments - such a misinformed, jingoistic, and unsurprising conservative intepretation of being a parent and valued member of society. And direct stake? Anyone who is a citizen has a direct stake, children or not. What a two-tier, class-based conspiracy of the importance of having 'stakes'.
Step parents, adoptive parents, and people providing fatherly and motherly roles for children that aren't their genetic own are often the ones who really step up and care, willing to help children who need a second chance or important parental roles in their lives, often when their biological parents can't provide it.
