The return of child labor is right up there with the loss of abortion rights in terms of shocking backslides but people don't seem to care as much about it.

    This is not even a secret. I noticed this a lot reading through articles, how often they proudly talk about "giving control back to the parents". Conservatives want absolute control over their children and every aspect of their lives. That's why they can call gay people groomers and then turn around and advocate for child marriage without missing a beat. Marrying your daughter off when she's 14 is great, because it means you get to decide who she marries before she's old enough to get her own ideas.

      It's not a secret, but it can difficult to grasp it because it's a completely fucking alien mindset to us.
