Can you be a little more succinct and explain the direct link between what progressives want and the government taking children away from their families?

    Yes, progressives are usually more centralist-democratic than institutionalist. So government taking something by force just because it's been voted for is more normal for them.

    Thus I'm saying that this is one way this can look in reality. Though taking children is a bit too grotesque, yes. But it's not as if my tone here can change anything for people hit by this law.

    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.
