Primarily because I was sharing how the photos are linked in my memory.
They're also chronologically similar, happening within a week of each.
Lastly, they demonstrate stark differences in policies: a win for the new VP pick who, in my opinion, shows someone who actually cares about children and families.
I would also point out, not to give Huckabee any credit, but the silver lining of that bill might allow kids trying to gain freedom from abusive homes, permitting them to go job hunting on their own (although 14/15 seems super young regardless - they couldn't without someone signing off otherwise). The downsides is parents forcing kids to go to work in dangerous jobs (to your point).
Wondered where I remembered him from, it was this juxtaposition of photos:
Additional context: around the same time Governor Walz (upper) was signing a bill for guaranteed school lunches the Governer of Arkansas (lower) was signing a bill rolling back protections on child labor.
Seeing that picture reminded me his kids are biracial. So to add to this fatherhood moment: he also supports a man who doesn't respect someone of mixed heritage, the very thing his own kids are.
It's not cognitive dissonance, it's wilful suspension of the truth and the reason politics are driving wedges into our families and friends.
Lastly, I'm not a conspiracy theorist but if another country wanted to destroy us from within this seems like a good way to do it.
The Forbes channel upload on this has some comments that reminded me it doesn't matter what he does or says... people just follow him blindly. What's the quote? About him shooting someone on a corner and not losing a single vote....
When Peterson pressed Musk for why he was switching to Trump, after long voting Democratic, Musk said that Democrats had become the party of censorship.
