This is something that actually helps everyday Americans, so every Republican will oppose it.

Free childcare is so amazing because it’s finally attempting to de-externalize this idea that childcare is a choice. And also recognizing that providing high quality childcare to all provides wide ranging societal benefits and tangible value.
I think ideally we live in a world where we build cities to be support more multi-generational housing and mixed income neighborhoods which would allow more parents to live near their own parents (grandparents) who can watch children. Bring back the idea that it takes a village. And also income inequality doesn’t just mean too many billionaires but also working class isn’t getting paid enough. Single income households isn’t the historical norm (just mid-20th century America). But given productivity gains of workers, it should be more common than it is. We should be supporting the ideal that like a few of the neighborhood parents getting together and watching all the neighborhood kids together is a valuable use of labor vs the professionalized and sterile childcare that many kids get.
All these things together would make us a much nicer society to live in.

Is the sky falling and armageddon being unleashed?
Or at least that’s what I hear happens from conservatives whenever a social program that benefits the poor is newly implemented.
Hopefully it’s successful and other states follow suit
We should fund and nurture what we value.
This is a no brainer – kids, all kids, need our greatest investment.
If we hold this up as our standard then we can really see if politicians can support it with legislative action.
I will be watching with great interest. This is something that the wealthiest nation on earth should offer to everyone.
For a great explainer on why childcare is so goddamn expensive to begin with, I recommend this infuriating, hilarious video
