We LOVE Fucking Children! Whether with GROWN MAN PENIS or DEFUNDING EDUCATION or Legalizing CHILD LABOR us Republicans LOVE Fucking Children!
-LITERALLY, NO JOKE, EVERY SINGLE REPUBLICAN!
Save the children [for us].
"If they're old enough for sex, they're old enough for work." Republican logic.
Also reminder that 100% of all Republican logic begins with a fallacy
They also enjoy using them for their sexual enjoyment
Children for Republicans serve all their carnal purposes
@Redditsux At what point do liberals realize Fox News is how conservative psychopaths float ideas? This one is beyond the pale. If conservatives had brains, they would realize the wealthy are trying to recreate slavery through inadequate education, low wages, and limited opportunities to move to better places to work. On top of that, they seem really fond of raping our kids, if the defense of Trump is any indication. Conservatives are the main problem.
The problem is, we all know what the most effective solution to ever-growing “conservative” (reactionary) terror is, but nobody wants to say it (i.e., it’s how our forebears handled the Nazis and the Confederates).
Nobody wants to go there, though, because that’s a bell that cannot be unrung. And, let’s face it, it’s horrible. So neolibs, actual conservatives, and left-of-center moderates are quietly clinging to the faint hope that the rubes at large will get gobsmacked by good sense and then vote themselves out of this mess soon. I want that, too, but I’m not so optimistic.
How our forebearers handled the Nazis and Confederates wasn't good enough. We have to be more complete this time
WHO COULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING?
What the fuck does he mean by "allow". You think the kids want to work? Dear God, the kids want to be hanging out. Maybe playing some video games or going to the pool or shit like that.
At least be honest. You want to jack up rent so high that their parents can't afford to pay it so the parents make the kids chip in. That's what you want, because you're a sick motherfucker.
Allow, as in let them work like they used to, with little to no regulation. It was never about kids wanting to work.
In my area farms and branches that employ teenagers make sure to give them the easiest work. The reason being kids are vindictive little shits who will hold onto a grudge and only enact on it when you are at serious risk of mutilation or death, sure they could pull the emergency cord on the wood chipper or they can turn the other way and pretend to hear nothing. So teenagers do sales or porter work nothing strenuous.
Also if my example seems weirdly specific that's because it's based off an incident in the 90s that is passed around as a cultural reinforcement of why you don't piss off young workers. Not to say adults won't also fuck you over but usually they have more autonomy allowing them to get it out of their system, more property damage less watching you die a pitiful death.
In their fantasy, it’s not teenagers. Think more 12 and under. This was reality believe it or not, less than 100 yeas ago.
Not saying they want teenagers, moreso pointing out that if teenagers can let nature takes its course on you then literal children would do it without hesitation. Children will literally watch a building burn in fascinated calmness before thinking to call 911 would anyone want to work around that. Not the kids fault they're kids their brains aren't fully formed that means they can be socially questionable little psychos.
So instead of having the rich and powerful abuse and assault immigrants they should abuse and assault children? Maybe on an island? Is there a list?
I heard about some Epstein list or something.
Funnily, I could swear when I was a kid I’ve seen it called the “Epstain List”
Funny how allowing the owner class to exploit children is phrased to imply it's giving children a choice. 🤮
This is Republicans soft launching "children yearn for the mines" rhetoric. USA is effectively regressing and removing what originally made this country "great." I fear for my children as they grow older. I can only do so much as a parent to steer them onto a path of least hardship, but Republicans are increasingly making that difficult.
I don't think we started out great, honestly. Our history is pretty fucking dark. I think we could have been great, and we might have even been getting close. But I absolutely agree that the progress we have made is regressing in front of our eyes. Worse, anybody who doesn't celebrate this senseless destruction is also being demonized.
It isn't going to be their children doing it either, it will be ours.
The idea of having to worry about my kids work schedule on top of school and my own shit to do in return for starvation wages? Nah, we're good.
Yeah, let's definitely go back to this.
Yeah, he really does. Earlier this year he was waxing philosophic about how showers are terrible for you and how being on a farm means you never have to bathe.
HURT: They are. I take showers if I'm going to be around people. But this is why you live on a farm. You live on a farm, you don't have to take showers.
Or this. All those unaborted abandoned babies can be shoved down the chimneys.
His pasty white ass should be in the fields first.
"You know what would make this country a better place? If we rolled back regulations to about 1912."
-Repubs
Its 2025- children are for farm work and sex.
I feel like anyone suggesting this has never interacted with a child.
Perhaps surprisingly, most kids will happily pick fruit for say, 15 minutes.
If you want them to do it for 40 hours a week that's going to require some extreme motivation.
Yeah and they aren’t paying well, so.. beat them?
If they dont want to pick fruit maybe trump can fuck them
When that doesn'twork out are they going to move to slavery?
Subsidized corpo farms: 👍👍 Subsidized small farms: 👎👎 Exploitation of the masses, including the children: 👍👍👍🥰
Just look at those plucky young entrepreneurs living their best life:
I really wish these assholes would think of the children less.
if there was a god, and god wasn't a sick twisted evil fuck like in the bible, all these fuckers would die from horrendously painful burn damage after surviving a lightning strike
His kids and grandkids first. In fact, if there aren't enough necessary workers, maybe "news" hosts should be forced into labour.
There's a side effect to this which I don't think anyone is picking up: an inherent devaluing of the work that immigrants do here. They pivoted from "immigrants are criminals and rapists" to "OK, maybe some aren't, but the ones who aren't are doing work so simple your kids could do it".
Sounds great, I can’t wait to see 10 year olds roofing my house in July.
Kids can be easily tricked by shitty supervisors to do dangerous jobs because they're not old enough to know any better. Adults are usually smart enough to see the danger in working with machines that can crush and shred you. Or with chemicals that will poison you.
Parents who offer up their kids to these businesses because they "trust them to keep their kids safe" deserve to be kicked in the groin repeatedly.

You almost had me. Most people are dumber than shit
The worst fucking timeline.
I guess the baby-talk "maga" means - bring back child labor. That was the time period when America was greatest?
"Let children do it, but not my children."
magas: Mass Deportation Now!
maga 1: omg I just realized if we deport all the illegulls we won't have a cheap labor force to exploit anymore!
maga 2: Hmm let's see, what other group's labor could we exploit with slave wages and no rights or benefits?
maga 1: hmmmm, durrrrrrr.
maga 2: I know! Children!
