what happened to all the "we have to protect the children" rhetoric?

tl;dr: they never gave a flying fuck about your children

[–] FishFace@piefed.social 4 points 1 hour ago

Because "protect the children" is about vibes. It had good vibes.

Unfortunately, good vibes can be overridden by pretty much anything, like money.

In my opinion that makes it very important to not talk about stuff based on vibes but based on real stuff.

I just watched a Walter Masterson video in which he goes to a trump rally and asks people if they are pro life. When they say they are, he then asks them to go the next step and help raise funds for food and housing for children to which they all tell him to fuck off. You're right.

Heh like that's the logical next step, if they were all in they'd say yes to helping out, being followers of the Bible and all. Mean $5 helps a cause even, but just to say fuck off...heaven forbid you back up ideals with even a pittance.... These kids would be better if people gave a sliver of a pittance even.

I forget the spot in the Bible that says if the kids weren't yours you didn't have to care about them as people.

We're all people afterall, some different cultures, different ideas, but we still gotta live on this rock together. Telling people they don't matter isn't the solution. We'll either figure it out or nuke ourselves one day I assume.

Well many Republicans seemed to give a lot of flying fucks with children apparently.

As in they're fucking children in their private jets while they're flying through the sky.
