In other news: "Duh."
Agree but this does need to be explained to people who aren't in the know. These laws are currently being marketed as "put the power in parents hands" in various states left, right, and center.
Its a good bet when there seems to be widespread bipartisan push for restrictive laws that literally no one asked for, it's gonna be something bad. But you have to explain to mouthbreathers in the electorate why or this shit just gets rammed through.
There’s no explaining it to the public at large in our forums. We already know. Unless people suddenly watch a couple trusted news sources en masse and those news sources choose to explain, ignorance will rule.
But then that’s the entire point of fracturing information like this. Fake news. Don’t trust science. That’s woke, don’t listen. Etc.
