As if anyone else needed another reason to be a “tankie”
The #1 news source in the US has an article on their front page advocating parents’ rights to invalidate/traumatize their children 
This hit me hard because my parents emotionally abused the hell out of me and that’s a common occurrence for kids growing up in bigoted households
Really telling that not a single word is spent on explaining if the child wanted to live with her parents or not.
Trigger warning: child abuse

I grew up with my parents beating the hell out of me whenever I did whatever measly shit out of turn. They’d threaten to call the cops on me/would beat me with various household items when I had meltdown, and I just had to take it because I was a minor Godamn if only I had found a way out. Granted my parents are much more progressive now, but the damage has been done and I’ll probably be in therapy for the rest of my life. To think that is also going to be a reality for countless others? Unconscionable
I’m trying to remain hopeful, but chuds have hitched themselves to this bigotry bandwagon and as they continue to grow even more fascist, dems will follow suit. Dark times
When you say they are more progressive now, have they acknowledged that they were wrong?
