    Don’t let Republicans pretend they care about children while allowing them to get slaughtered in the classroom and raped at bible camp and forcing them to give birth,

      allowing them to get slaughtered in the classroom and raped at bible camp and forcing them to give birth,

      while restricting the books they can read.

      First things first.

      They don’t give a shit about children.

      They care about people voting for them (and with that, against their own interests) and the only way to get that done is to rile these people up with irrelevant issues like drag queens. Why do you think fox news all of the sudden jumps on top of issues like this?

      If people have nothing to freak out about they might look at real issues and notice that the conservative parties are working hard to thing their lives. Can’t have that, so let’s ruin the lives of others too by demonizing them. In the past it was the gays, this time it’s the drag queens because let’s face it: easy target and gays are acceptable now. Colored people and people with “funny” languages are also always a popular target for this bullshit.

      Disarming the working class will hurt those kids more in the long run than the risk of a school shooting.

      Strict gun control would be much more palatable if the police were demilitarized first, but the most vocal gun control advocates don’t talk about that.

      They might want “a discussion about racial sensitivity” or some other ineffective method of reforming the police, but never want to talk about power, class, and institutionalized violence in a meaningful way.
