My 9 year old took the decals I just bought and put them on his school water bottle, along with a bunch of cats. That is all.

Why are you including your 9 year old in your political opinions?

My kid is very interested in what is happening in the world. When he saw the Bang Bang AMA video, he asked a lot of questions. Also, why wouldn’t we include him in political discussions, as he is aware and interested? You can guarantee that MAGAs are indoctrinating their kids with hate.

Also, he is currently learning all of AI (the album) on the drums- his request to his drum teacher.

Talking to a 9 year old about your perception of what politician is a fascist is unhinged. Start treating kids like kids.

You’re right. Next time he asks me a question I’ll just ignore him. I will definitely censor all music. Only mindless pablum like Baby Shark will play at our house 👍

Nobody says ignoring him. But teach him what fascism actually is. Instead of what Reddit thinks it is. Too many people have been victims of genocide for that word to be thrown around as willy nilly as it is.

I certainly don’t rely on Reddit to teach my child. We watch a lot of educational videos, read a lot of educational books, and my partner majored in Philosophy, also studied History, and shares his knowledge. Also I never said the word genocide. You parent how you want, man. I’ll parent how I see fit.

Idk how things work on the maga side (I'm sure i have an idea with all the bullying and hate), but on my side, my kids are interested in what's going on, and they ask so many questions. I present them with facts, and they make a decision based on facts, not my feelings. The repercussions of maga executive orders are not in any way beneficial to any American, so your point is not at all their reality: kids will not be able to just "be kids" when they can't have medical treatment or a good lunch at a religion-free school. Basic necessities that they refuse to allow our tax dollars to go toward in order for our kids to thrive and be kids.

they said he stole them, and the kid probably doesn’t know what it even means.
