I *really* hate that I have to give Republicans credit for killing this regardless of whatever stupid reason they'll give for it beyond "concerns."

Yeah, this is one of those "broken clock" moments where they were accidentally right but for the (probably) wrong reasons.

It wasn't "hurting the right people", no doubt

That's the funny thing: it kinda was. Vague laws are dangerous, and it was fairly vague in a lot of areas.

Partially quoting someone from another thread:

The condensed version is that it creates a lot of avenues for a very loose definition of "keeping kids safe" that could easily include "information about dealing with bigoted family" being called "dangerous" at the discretion of an executive branch appointee who thinks that lgbtq identity is "unsafe".

Well, that's fantastic. It's just like their fighting Biden on that horribly right wing hawkish border bill just because it came from him. They really are tired of winning after all.

Wait until Democratic lawmakers start putting out campaign ads promising they'll get this passed and "protect the children " if we elect more of them to Congress, that's a pretty exquisitely awful feeling

On a related note, if every moderate Dem who wants to talk about how we need to secure the border and fund the police could go step on a lego and resign that'd be great
