I asked my 5 year old if she wanted to protest. She said “what if they take me away, too?”

I asked my 5 year old if she wanted to come to a protest with me this weekend. Once I had explained what we were protesting, she looked at me with tears in her eyes and said “what if they take me away, too?”

I don’t know how to have these conversations with my kids

[jiggyboy]

The exasperated finale, "I don't know how to have this kind of conversation", is straight from the "my wise and woke six-year-old" template. A recent variant is How do I even begin to answer this question?. Another example, it just shouldn't be this hard to talk to your kids, goes back to March 2016.

Because liberals are, in fact, children who live in a world of fantasy.

When I apply this measure to my adult, aging, liberal neighbors, it does appear to be true.

This idior woman deliberately traumatized her 5 year old. Good job. lady...

Kids should not be watching Deep State propaganda (aka “news”) on TV.

It is for stupid adults only!

[trebb]

If one wants to try to get their 5 year old to protest with them, the kid would be better off if taken away.....

Kind of a young age to be sickened by leftist Bull&hit!

Jimmy Carter said he discussed nuclear war with his daughter Amy. I’m guessing liberals have such infantile opinions, because they tend to get them from young children.

At that age, they’re barely past flinging their own poo and eating paste.

Only when you don't teach them (or if they have bad genetics). I was reading on my own by the time I was 3. This chick is telling her kids horror stories.

Actually this would be perfect for liberals.. take your kid to a protest, get arrested and you’re separated from your kid.

[maddog55]

Most of the idiots protesting don’t know what they’re doing.. it’s a mob intelligence thing.

I asked my 5 year old if she wanted to come to a protest with me … she looked at me with tears in her eyes and said “what if they take me away, too?”

It's totally irresponsible to lead a child to believe that.

I don’t know how to have these conversations with my kids

Then why did you initiate a conversation on the issue with your kids if you couldn't talk with them about it?
What an idiot.

I got one of these women super ticked on Twitter for that mass anti-2nd amendment march. She posted a picture of her 5 year old boy in a blue Mohawk with a protest sign saying something along the lines of do it for the children.

My Twitter reply was, “Rule one for selecting poster children, make sure the child is attractive. You make ugly children.”

The backlash was priceless. Yes, I was an internet troll but if you’re going to use your kids for adult purposes, expect adult consequences.

Kids learn from parents...stop teaching the bullsh!t and they will amazingly stop spouting it.

I’ve been around a lot of five year olds.

My first thought was, “They might get taken away for 20 day’s?”

I’d tell the tot that we should risk it.

[Delta 21]

Taking a 5yo to a political protest may not end up so well.

YES, the parent’s actions may prove to be endangering for the child and YES, the child may be removed from the parent for being an idiot in public with her child.

The media has done it’s job, creating hate, fear, anger and division everywhere, and the agenda pushers behind them, the Marxists, are giving themselves high fives for their success.

[hal ogen]

I believe this 5 year old really said “mommie, you are a lunatic . Are you going to suicide today?”

[jmaroneps37]

“I asked my 5 year old if she wanted to protest. She said “what if they take me away, too?”” That will prove you have infected your child with the mental illness of liberalism.
