I'm trying to find some good class based analysis on the subject. I feel like Matt has spoken about this sort of thing on his vlogs but its kind of hard to search through those to pinpoint a specific talking point.

    I like the theory that Tom and Tarence came up with on Trillbillies: these are white women who have kids who are now late teens and into their 20s. And their kids either don't really like them much or they have values that these white women don't like ("you're ok with those transgenders?!"). So "save the children" appeals to them because it lets them forget about their actual kids and focus on abstract, cute little babbies like their own kids used to be.
