So apparently, The US Total Fertility rate (Not the Birth rate, but Total Fertility Rate, which takes into account deaths, women having their second, third, etc. Child and at what age, etc. Don't ask me how this is calculated since I don't understand the convoluted formula used to determine it), has increased by a little over 1% annually since 2019.

I know that doesn't seem like a lot, but it seems to be rather steady, and if it continues holding up like this, then we'll reach replacement value in the United states within the next 24 years. I know that seems like a long time, but when you consider places like Japan have been trying, and failing, to reverse birthrate decline for going on 70 years now, that's actually a reasonable amount of time.

Though, combine this with a future booming economy thanks to Trump coming back, implementation of Hungary style birth and family incentives (which Trump has talked about doing before and even invited the Prime Minister of Hungary to talk at GOP conventions to discuss his success with such policies), as well as the current religious revival going on (which I personally credit this miracle to since I fully believe God is saving our nation from itself), and it's entirely likely that we can cut that 24 year figure in half or thirds.

So with a little bit of controlled LEGAL immigration, which is normal for the US, and we can not only maintain our population, but even continue to grow it without third world importation.

Just something I came across while doing my normal autistic news searching for anything mildly interesting, or comm-ish. Figured I'd share this bit of good news with all my fellow pedes so we can have a bit of legit hopium to look forward too.
