I'm not sure how this is satire. This describes a plausibly real person.
Yeah, this one is a bit painful because it's too real.
Satire is becoming a means of reporting real facts, just with sarcasm
Didn't a bunch of children who were separated from their parents at the border disappear never to be heard from again?
Same with most politicians anywhere in the world. Spend billions on CSAM AI scanning scams and passing crazy spy laws.
Meanwhile child protection services are underfunded and shelters are nonexistent or undersized or in the worst case also abusive towards the children they should protect.
Ofc US republicans are a lot more fucked up than the average tho, cant argue with that.
Fun fact: US is one of the few countries in the western world that legally protects violence against your children.
To contrast this, in most European countries, hitting your child is legally treated the same as hitting any other person or adult - it's assault, and there are no legal exceptions when it comes to corporal punishment at home.
Child abuse is still illegal here regardless of corporal punishment. You can get CPS called on you for a lot of things that aren't physical abuse too.
But of course I'm sure it being illegal in Europe means it's totally non-existent. If there's one thing kids are known for it's having enough awareness to self report their parents bad behavior behind closed doors, right?
What a brave stance.
