These people jerk off to the idea of hurting children. Every new policy Republicans come up with, whether its supporting ~~child marriage~~ legalized rape with 12 year olds or trying to bring back child labor, or making children too hungry to learn anything in school, makes their "moral" panic over a bunch of people who happen to be wearing dresses reading to kids even more hypocritical. Honestly I think it's the idea of children being functionally literate that probably terrifies them the most.
