It’s not the evangelicals alone, the party itself is using the argument “for the children” as a cudgel to beat the opposition with. They want to say they simply find trans people and anyone who does drag disgusting, but they have to use the children as an example of innocence being ruined by their opposition.
It’s just a political weapon, and as usual for Republicans it’s “rules for thee and none for me.”
Exactly! And if you go look up the statistics, even accounting for populations and all that you will find that it is RELIGIOUS LEADERS and FAMILY (uncles and cousins or parents I think) that commit most of the CSA. Not drag queens or trans people.
If they ACTUALLY cared about protecting kids they would be going after every church with full investigations and lawsuits galore. Instead they cover them up and brush them off with drivel like “Oh well he wasn’t a Christian then” despite the fact they probably were a pastor or youth leader and did it in the church building itself many times.
