Summary

Simone and Malcolm Collins, outspoken advocates of a “pronatalist” agenda, envision a model city-state focused on increasing birth rates and “genetically selected” citizens to counter demographic decline.

Simone, a candidate for Pennsylvania’s legislature, supports Trump, Elon Musk, and a conservative agenda with Silicon Valley backing. The couple’s controversial ideas include selective voting rights, targeting the “elites,” and embryo selection based on intelligence.

Despite their fringe positions, they seek to influence politics by mobilizing conservative voters, promoting family values, and experimenting with low-cost election tactics to sway swing districts.

The couple’s pronatalist foundation received significant funding from Estonian billionaire Jaan Tallinn. Child protective services (CPS) have visited the family twice following scrutiny over their parenting.
