He's using Vance's comments about how "childless" people shouldn't have a say in government to attack Lindsey Graham and Tim Scott who have no children.

In other words, using the words of a Republican to attack other Republicans and show up their hypocrisy.

He certainly isn't "maga trash."

That votes should count more for people who "have stake" meaning, wealth, property, investments, and the like. Poor people, single people without children, renters, etc. shouldn't matter worth a FUCK, in his view.
