One mom said she cried for 10 days after hearing she was being removed from her daughter’s birth certificate.

      Love seeing the sheep who think that “progressives” are the problem will happily elect the assholes that expand government reach, take more of the peoples’ money while simping for the rich, and work to screw the people the most in any other ways they can imagine.

      People like you are the problem. It’s just ridiculously easy to convince you simpletons it’s not. Run on and piss off.

        Everyone that wants the state to have more power over people’s life, property and labor is to blame. You can’t give power to a position that is selected through a popularity contest.

          Your blind devotion to libertarian politics has prevented you from even understanding the issue we’re all discussing. We’re talking about a right wing government taking children away from their parents because of their sexual orientation. Progressives didn’t vote for that.

      Can you be a little more succinct and explain the direct link between what progressives want and the government taking children away from their families?

          To reiterate, I’m asking you to elaborate on a direct link between what progressives want and the government taking children away from their families.

          What you’ve said is tantamount to: “well progressives want the government to do things, and now the government is doing bad things that progressives don’t want them to do, but they’re still things, just like progressives wanted.”

              But conservatives also want things. And government overreach is a thing, so they should be comfortable with it. Right?

                  But as you confirmed, you weren’t making a point that applies to any particular political ideology. Really more of an obvious, shallow statement that you dressed up a little.

                  If you assume your audience is mostly progressive, then you can just state your point, and let probability do its thing.

                  Really doesn’t make sense to tack that on there unless you’re just laying lazy bait.
