political opinion/semantics
Unfortunately so much right wing rhetoric is rooted in THE PRECIOUS CHILDREN that I feel like leftists do need to talk back just so it's not semantically uncontested ground.
But I feel like it needs to be proactive, highlighting how we want to *protect and benefit* kids, because I feel like there's this attitude of "THEY abuse children, not US," and regardless of how much truth there is to this, it's attack morality. I don't trust it, and suspect that distrust is widespread.
