US Authoritarianism

Third, make more kids to rape because abortion is illegal and the great population collapse is coming!!!!!

Change the Idaho state motto to "Idaho, where you can rape your kids and they can't snitch"

You forgot third, exploit damaged children as cheap labor or soldiers when they’re old enough. (Hence them loving child labor too)

The purpose of a system is what it does.

also, encourage the constituency to become R strategists.

Children are the sole property of their parents and no gubmint is gonna tell me how to raise my kids.

If a child is trans or wants an abortion, conservatives want the parents to be able to stop that and make the child suffer

well, you see, trans people exist, so you must always have the right to rape your children and lock them in the basement and force them into cults.

"I feed and clothe and give shelter to my child. I alone get to decide what's right for them, including education and healthcare."

Thats how it usually goes. They don't treat their children like human beings with their own will, but as property. Authoritarianism begins at home.

"How dare you go near my child's genitals. The only people who want to that are pedophiles and gynecologists, and that's bad!"

Cruelty and / or stupidity.

I'm Commander Shepard and Idaho is my favorite state on the citadel.

If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.

What was the kid wearing?

Correct. Call the parents first.

kid might get trans'd if you splint their broken toe wrong.

shit, look, im already using they/them pronouns for this kid, and they're still hypothetical! protect the children!

I think they're more than fine.

But it also fully follows from the conservative view of parenting - that a child is the property of their parents - that a child who is victimized by said parents should have no legal recourse.

Being bared from healthcare is a god damn human rights violation in any context. If it somehow explicity prohibited specifically the things they think are wrong, sure, it's still shit, but sure. But like this, they are quite literally stating that children don't have the right for healthcare, it's a privilege the parent must grant. It's beyond fucked! The parent can legally kill their child now, as long as nobody bothers to file a proper neglect case.

Comparing republicans to nazis is an insult to nazis; they at least actually had their fucked up family values. Republicans just want everyone to suffer more than them.

Cruelty is still the point. You're just saying that it's primarily targeted at trans kids.

This is Idaho. I bet dollars to donuts there are a bunch of LDS members that are quite happy with this situation.

Def meant to put a point on … exactly how would you actually be able to tell where that line of intentionality is? and more to point, .. does it matter, really, a system is what it does and intention is irrelevant. They meant to do something

The U.S.A. - as a rule - doesn't ratify anything the U.N. declares. We don't even cooperate with the ICC. Special little (fucking) snowflakes we are.

Even here in FL

Goddamn, you know things are bad when kids in Florida have more rights...fuckin hell....
