“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"
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
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
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___
