The Bulwark’s Amanda Carpenter has been moving further and further left over the past few years, but we never thought we would see a day when she was basically defending kids going to sexually explicit drag shows.
What kind of power are you willing to hand over to the state to keep kids out of drag shows? The same kind of power you'd use to police the movements of women to outlaw abortion? Is this DeSantisism? https://t.co/y9qfSMUX8X

We get it. She hates DeSantis and she wants to paint him as a police state fascist, whatever will work to prevent him from getting further in his political career, but she is so far off base. It seems she forgot we already have laws to protect kids from a ton of things!
The state has been protecting kids from abuse for at least close to 50 years since the federal Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act was passed in 1976. https://t.co/nzfPYYuqyi

Oh not too long. We are sure Amanda is not concerned with the children or anything…
Pretty much the same amount of power to keep them from being sexualized in other ways. I don't think anyone would complain if a
"Gentleman's Club" had their liquor license pulled for allowing kids to go in.— AmishDude (@TheAmishDude) March 15, 2023
Correct. And this was a popular answer. There were tons of users ready to let Carpenter know about the laws we already use to protect kids from all kinds of things.
The same power that keeps them out of strip clubs and bars. This isn’t hard.

So you're totally cool with 6 year olds driving or 13 yr olds buying alcohol & smokes at the titty bar, right?
— Witchy Chick (@1WitchyChick) March 15, 2023
Ok maybe we would not have worded it that way, but we did laugh.
Refusing to sexualize children is fascism.

Carpenter has been moving so far to the left at such a fast pace she probably thinks DeSantis waking up in the morning is fascism.
Amanda, Are you completely unaware of how government works? As it exists, children are banned from many places, purchases. Do you not understand that those bans are enforced by police? If a grocery store is caught selling booze to 14 year old they risk their license.
— William Keane (@largebill68) March 15, 2023
Yes. Apparently, she is unaware of so many things we could not list them in a single article.
Do… do you know there are age restrictions to private businesses in every state in the country? This isn’t unique to florida or DeSantis
— Ryan James Girdusky (@RyanGirdusky) March 15, 2023
Well, there you go bringing facts to a fake fascism fight. Stop being all logical and stuff.
The same power that keeps them from buying cigs before age 18 and alcohol before age 21.
— Amy (@famousamosquito) March 15, 2023
alcohol, driving, voting, joining the military… how dare they!
— Tim Wood (@TimOnPoint) March 15, 2023
Yup! Age restrictions are mandated by laws everywhere, not just in Florida, but let’s not talk about that.
Lady, this is like adding an R rating to a movie kids shouldn’t go to. Simmer down. We’ve known not everything is appropriate for kids until four minutes ago.
— Mary Different Weller (@MWellertXc) March 15, 2023
Most of us still know that everything is NOT appropriate for children. Some of us still say it out loud too.
Making a hard Left in that VW, I see.
— Wilberforce+ (@PaineInTheNeck) March 15, 2023
HA! We laughed at this one, what happened to Amanda? She has gone so hard Left she is going to be mistaken for AOC soon.
I'm as shocked as you are that The Bulwark is totally on board with little kids being exposed to creepy sexual content. https://t.co/6znfrhEDf7

AAAaaand End. We can’t top that. It is true, but ouch that one is gonna leave a mark.
