I often worry that citizens check the content and consequences of legislation before voting even less than social media users check the content and context of articles before commenting. Put a “protect the kids” title on it, and you almost get a free pass for whatever nonsense you’re pushing, regardless of how harmful it might be.
To be fair, in the US you don’t vote on bills, you just elect representatives. The names are only there to manipulate people into agreeing so they don’t call up their representatives to complain.
Wait until Democratic lawmakers start putting out campaign ads promising they’ll get this passed and "protect the children " if we elect more of them to Congress, that’s a pretty exquisitely awful feeling
On a related note, if every moderate Dem who wants to talk about how we need to secure the border and fund the police could go step on a lego and resign that’d be great
