Look man, if the kid fucking party can't fuck kids then what's the point? Someone needs to consider the kid fucking party's feelings and let them fuck them kids. But don't let dudes dressed as women read to them that might warp the kids brains.

- Of all the things that the Republican party stands for, I honestly don't understand child marriage.
  
  I get it's about control. But it's really weird if you think about it. The loophole in their minds is that they can have sex after marriage. So, if they married a 9 year old girl (which according to the article is allowed in 3 states), the guy could fuck her.
  
  I mean...how in the hell is that not rape by any other name?

  Because spousal rape isn't a thing to republicans, saying "I do" means you're permanently giving your consent, so rape is unpossible.

  Plus, it’s also the party of telling you how Muhammad was a rapist for having a child bride, as though that affects whether his followers deserve human rights.
