“Boy, these conservatives are really something, aren't they? They're all in favor of the unborn. They will do anything for the unborn. But once you're born, you're on your own. Pro-life conservatives are obsessed with the fetus from conception to nine months. After that, they don't want to know about you. They don't want to hear from you. No nothing. No neonatal care, no day care, no head start, no school lunch, no food stamps, no welfare, no nothing. If you're preborn, you're fine; if you're preschool, you're fucked.”
I mean occasionally the masks does not only slips but hilariously flys off and it gets pretty clear the whole thing is born from an understanding of "Human Resources"
That was exactly my thought. No more than working livestock.
do republicans ever ask why solid red states like Louisiana rank so highly in things like child poverty or are they such hardened ideologues that they're just going to do what clearly isn't working? or do they think that keeping minimum wage to $2/hour is somehow going to help people?
The ones in charge: know that poor children are more likely to accept work out of desperation and have never met a way to exploit the proletariat they didn't like
The everyday voters: just hate children
Also, poor kids are more willing to join the military because they sell it as a way to escape the drudgery
And guess what else those states have? Poor education systems, which make for more low-income workers. And also health care! Once you’re at retirement, you’re no good to the system - in fact, you’re a drain!
The thing is that if you fuck the kids over too much, theyre too stupid and unhealthy to join. Its just another idiotic american capitalist contradiction
Yep, but after a certain point, they just want bodies
Once had a recruiter literally tell me that they basically just want people who can hold a rifle and not shoot the other troops
Military recruiters are fucking idiots and honestly not the arbiter of who get in or not, all they do is try to get people interested and to processing to see if they can actually join or not
Salespeople. Always the dumbest people on earth. They just literally read from a memorized script and smile a lot
Wait until they're on the can
I haven't met the man who can outrun a grenade with their pants around their ankles
To me, the core difference between rethugs and dems has always ultimately been a palpable of hatred of children (I.e a hatred of themselves ie their inner child ie “weakness”) I wish I was kidding. It’s why they call us “snowflakes”, they hate innocence. Just hate it

yeah because the blue haired woke gay commiefornians keep stealing all of our hard earned money or any variation of those. That's not even specific to US Louisana republicans
They do believe that which is crazy because California contributes more than it gets back, very much unlike Louisiana

Take a look at the demographics.
You might start to see the answer.
But doesn’t this make more babies though? More of that demographic, yet another bizarre contradiction of fascism
I wonder if they'll ban contraceptives next, their media has been whining about sexual freedom a lot in the last 10 years.
yeah there's a huge astroturfed ramp up trying to convince women they are "doing unnatural things to you" and other woo. basically taking the usual right-wing new age tack (anti-vaxx, etc) as well as legitimate big pharma fears.
like most propaganda efforts these days it's extremely ham fisted and obvious so we'll see what happens___
Hey Dems, want people to vote for you? Stop shit like this.
sorry, all we have are empty promises also all of you are literally Hamas
Okay but stroking my ego isn't going to make the empty promises less empty.
What do you want me to do about it, Jack? My hands are tied!
Anyways, get out there and
