MODERATORS
Are you a Republican?
Tell me friend, do you support:
Child marraige predominantly expressed through older men marrying young girls with whom they can legally rape? (I don't believe a child can consent, do you?)
Child labor, "the children are our future" but also we should steal their prime growth years so meat packing plants can find more meat for the grinders and not have to pay living wages.
Dissolution of the department of education to kill public education in America
Starving school children of low income families, many of which only get their highest quality meal at school
Unchecked capitalism resulting in an ever widening gap between the ultra rich and the rest of us, such that many are being priced out of any semblance of the lie that is the "American Dream" exploding the number of homeless?
Do you look down on the unhoused as just lazy entitled people who would surely squander any support on drugs, rather than your fellow Americans who are suffering hard times, mental illness, or both?
What about just flat out lawlessness, where one party is disinterested in enforcing laws against their party members and make threats of violence and civil war against any attempts by others to fairly apply the law? And instead they indicate an eagerness to lock up their political enemies despite being unable to bring any evidence of crimes?
Genuinely curious because you seem to be able to understand the current reality, but you cling to an ideal that i would guess has left you behind long ago.
