To reiterate, I'm asking you to elaborate on a direct link between what progressives want and the government taking children away from their families.
What you've said is tantamount to: "well progressives want the government to do things, and now the government is doing bad things that progressives don't want them to do, but they're still things, just like progressives wanted."
But conservatives also want things. And government overreach is a thing, so they should be comfortable with it. Right?
But as you confirmed, you weren't making a point that applies to any particular political ideology. Really more of an obvious, shallow statement that you dressed up a little.
If you assume your audience is mostly progressive, then you can just state your point, and let probability do its thing.
Really doesn't make sense to tack that on there unless you're just laying lazy bait.
Got it, so lazy trolling.
Thanks for clearing that up.
