Republicans like school kids until they survive school shootings committed by their political adherents and become outspoken about the proliferation of firearms.

Bet most of you didn't know the Parkland shooting was done by a MAGA cap bro. Well, Republicans love to protect their own despite Hogg never focusing on the political biases of the shooter. So of course Fox News and the rest fostered an obsession in their cracked out violent brains.

The resulting wave of recursive terror attacks continues on to this day:

• The MAGA bomber himself targeted David Hogg online before he subsequently began his pipe bomb campaign to other right wing targets like politicians and media.
• Sometime later, sitting Republicans chased David Hogg through the streets while armed. They videoed themselves doing this because proud.

So yea, Republicans think kids are great. Just not if they survive being shot up by their disciples. Then your children will grow into their adult years being chased through the streets by armed members of the cult. Literally, not figuratively.
