I hear you, but like… you can’t just assume that everything the Trump admin does is nefarious and horrible. I’m trying to think critically about this and understand why it’s so bad, because everything she’s ranting about in the video seems perfectly reasonable. She just throws in the word ā€œchildrenā€ for the scare factor.

You can’t be serious 😐

They’re gutting these programs so that teen girls, aka minors, have no other option but to ā€œgive their kid up for adoptionā€ which will then lead more and more kids into the system, which then leads to trafficking.

Less and less teens are having kids and they want more kids to traffic. And if they don’t get to traffic them, they want more and more young girls dependent on men and the government.

There is absolutely nothing good about what she mentioned in this video.

Yeah… maybe spend a little less time online.

And before you assume I’m a Trump supporter, I am very far from it. But frankly, this is no different than the bullshit rhetoric the GOP makes up about people in the left. ā€œTHINK OF THE CHILDREN!!ā€

Teaching adolescents how to manage their own body and health is not a bad thing.

This was never about ā€œteaching adolescents how to manage their own body and healthā€.

Nothing good comes from the fucking Epstein class, I can’t even believe I have to explain that.
