You do realize that the US's birth rate is declining, right?
I saw pictures of it after their protest rallies comparing them to rallies held by the old TEA party, where no trash was left.

My point is that liberals are messy, especially when they assemble in large groups for political purposes. It's an apt metaphor for the solutions they impose when they are successful.

I could personalize it, and I would look pretty good, imo.
Wrong. The problem is that Japan and the West are affluent and, as standards of living increase, birth rates decline. Everywhere!
Republicans support most welfare programs for needy families. However, they don't want families to be rewarded for being needy.
So they complain about the declining birthrate but won't do anything about it. Sounds like a solid GOP plan to me.
We have too many people, so it's all good.
Too many people for what? If we closed our borders to immigration the population would continue to decline and we'd cease to be a superpower. That what you want?
We'd still be a superpower, plus have a higher standard of living.
Who is going into the army to defend up? Who is going to farm or operate the factories or drive trucks and trains? Who is going to pay taxes?
Fewer workers, full employment, higher pay, better education, better standard of living, fewer societal problems, more money for other stuff, less stress, less pollution, etc.
A shrinking economy will give us none of that. I guess we'll see how the Chinese handle the results of their one-child, social experiment.
Fewer people would mean a better economy. The bottom of the economic pyramid are the poor, uneducated people. They are a drag on a prosperous economy.
I don't see how you figure that. If there are a billion people in the US there are plenty of workers and taxpayers. If there is only one person in the US he has to do every job and that would be rough.
A nation is just a family grown great. Families are having fewer kids, or none at all, so they can have a better financial life. Even immigrants understand this. Immigrant families have fewer kids here than they would in their native country in order to enjoy a higher standard of living.
2.1. That’s the replacement rate, meaning each woman would, on average, need to have 2.1 children for a generation to exactly replace itself. In 2022, the U.S.’ fertility rate was around 1.7 children per woman. If not for immigration the US population would be falling.
