    We really have gone full circle on the “protecting the children” lie. Entire political campaigns based on the hatred of children.

      Protecting certain children and not others was always the goal. The entire point of the Republican party is to utilize power for themselves and prevent it from being utilized for others.

      I’m a firm believer in trans rights and issues, but they believe (or at least what the people they are pandering to believe) that trans is being pushed onto kids and not real, so they are protecting kids.

      It’s delusional, but trying to argue that they are actively hating children makes you look as unreasonable to them as you think they look.
