    “Protect the children” only from the things we deem bad. If they are homeless, hungry, live with parents who struggle to put food on the table? “Nah, they need to pull themselves by their bootstraps” I hate the GOP with a burning passion

      You are far too charitable to the GOP. They let school shootings happen for the sake of political gain, and they’re actively pushing for child labor and restricting control over your own body.

      Any bills labeled “protect the children” is never for protecting children. Same with anything titled “freedom.”

    I think the current system works best

    Parents should be responsible for what their kids do online. Parental controls do exist.

    Reminder they give zero fucks about children. They want to spread fascism to the internet for everyone in the name of children, but they have zero issues with elementary schoolers getting gunned down and legalizing child labor. Party of small government btw.

      Removed as a protest against the community’s support for campaigns to bring about the deaths of members of marginalized groups, and opposition to private entities working to prevent such campaigns, together with it’s mindless flaming and downvoting of anyone who disagrees.
