      Conservatives thinking about children seems to always lead to abuse of some kind

        End child marriage in the U.S.? You might be surprised at who’s opposed

        No, I really wouldn’t be.

          Yep. If it’s something cartoonishly evil, you can bet your ass it’s conservatives doing it and then blaming everybody else

              True, and it’s usually both at the same time – if they do it it’s good, but when they claim The Enemy (ie. anyone left of the Strasserites) does it it’s bad.

          Straight up, there isn’t anything anyone could be opposed to or for at this juncture in time that would actually surprise me. Social media, advertising, and grifts have broken our consensus reality and we desperately need that context to to function as a society

        Is there a crime being committed to children?

        Republicans: Legalize it

        Are adults doing stuff in their bedrooms that you don’t approve of?

        Republicans: We need to ban this.

      I think they have children on their minds too damn often. I have five kids, and I don’t think about kids as much as they do!

      Normally my mood and vernacular would call for liberal use of the word “fucking”, but wherever I might naturally put it in that comment, it would be too on the fucking nose.
