From The Anchorage Daily News, “Wasilla Republican Rep. David Eastman [who is a member of the Oath Keepers militia] sparked outrage online after asking whether there could be economic benefits from the death of abused children. … Eastman said that he had heard an argument, on occasion, that when child abuse is fatal, it could economically benefit a society. ‘It can be argued, periodically, that it’s actually a cost savings because that child is not going to need any of those government services that they might otherwise be entitled to receive and need based on growing up in this type of environment,’ he said.”
This is what voters wanted. This is what Alaskans voted for, whether he is too fringy for the majority of RepubliKKKlans or not. Elections have consequences, and at least one member of their party thinks abused children are too much of an economic burden for society, so let them die. Un-f***ing-believable. This is the RepubliKKKlan Party. This is the “all lives matter” party. This is the “love the fetus” (and hate the child) party. This is the “profit over people” party. This is the party that screams about the gays “grooming” children. Protect the children, except, of course, when it’s cheaper just to let them die. Is it fair to demonize an entire party over the views of one rogue member? Yes, but the entire RepubliKKKlan Party is rogue. And people will keep voting for them because I live in the dumbest f***ing country on the planet. Welcome to stupid America, where children are encouraged just to die rather than the state help them. This is how RepubliKKKlans think. The stupid never ends!
