I feel bad for the children in this picture. Personally I think this is child abuse. Forcing politics / religion on children should be fucking illegal.

That's hard though. The kids obviously have fun, it's a game for them.
So what's the abuse? Them giving the finger? Come on... Them unknowingly giving a (wrong?) political message? Yeah, we all know where that would lead to.
From my experience growing up going to a Baptist church this is a Christians wet dream. You would think indoctrination or religion is illegal based on some sermons I've had to sit through.
If that was the intentent, I get it. But if you're going to flip the bird you should at least send it INTO the camera to enforce the message. This just feels stupid.
I have a fanny pack/ bum bag that I use for surfing. Having an extra strap to hold it flat on my thigh would be super useful, but it has to be watertight.
Edit: for anyone confused, yes, those two terms refer to the same thing, we just call it a different thing depending on which side of the pond you're on. As I understand it, fanny refers to something quite different in the UK.
Assuming you are asking in good faith. The Christian/Evangelicals are the prominent group of people screaming about values and banning drag and other things they hate (LGBTQ, healthcare/abortion, immigration, voting, etc), while simultaneously being seemingly ok with stuff like this. It is quite blatantly hypocritical. It's all projection and hypocrisy and bigotry.
It's not the evangelicals alone, the party itself is using the argument "for the children" as a cudgel to beat the opposition with. They want to say they simply find trans people and anyone who does drag disgusting, but they have to use the children as an example of innocence being ruined by their opposition.
It's just a political weapon, and as usual for Republicans it's "rules for thee and none for me."
