Why do Republicans hate children so much? I have kids and fail to understand why the party supporters want children born unwanted. Do they secretly relish the idea that these unwanted kids will grow up in misery? Neglected, abused, worse? WTAF?
Unironically, they absolutely do. Children are the punishment for having sex out of wedlock, and not only must the woman suffer for having this child, but the child must suffer because they’re the product of sin.
I knew a number of people at my old church who ABSOLUTELY thought this way.
I had a conversation about abortion with a friend once where, after a lot of effort by my to keep the conversation on topic, she finally admitted that having a child if the punishment you deserve for getting pregnant.
In this case I think it’s not even anything to do with the contempt for children. It’s just yet another way to mark people you don’t like as outsiders and others. Republicans absolutely love to demonize the media any way they can.
Military recruiting is down and their pipelines are weak as our knowledge and information economy have proliferated and thrived. So: do whatever is needed to make childhood so shitty being raised from a negligent and abusive household, and flyover country future economic prospects so bleak as an adult that an Army 11X MOS looks like a golden ticket out.
The military doesn’t want well-adjusted, emotionally stable and regulated to enlist for combat arms. Their need for warfighters outweighs the ethics of manipulating a society’s citizens to worship war.
And there’s only so many officers (whom they actually do want to be emotionally stable, educated, and rational) that they need.

Children have needs. Republicans don’t do well with people that have needs.
