Is the current talk in media about happenings on the border because pedophrasts are not getting their way?

[Poopadoop]

If kids are made to suffer unnecessarily is there a way to protest it without being a pedophrast?

Yeah, blame the parents who forced those kids to go on a life-threatening desert death march in the first place.

This brilliant plan to secure the borders seems to have missed one tiny detail: A plan to have a way to reunite kids with families. But I guess that's not a problem if you can just leave the UN human rights council.

Texas judge said it best:

If someone at the jail takes your wallet, you get a receipt. They take your kids and you get nothing? Not even a slip of paper?

Pure shame on America.

It's not a plan to secure the border, it's a plan to appeal to idiot racists. And as wuf and bananaspoon have demonstrated: it's working. The real shame is that the people who still support Trump will not be held accountable for the damage caused by their boundless stupidity. I've watched in confusion while Italians got dazzled by Berlusconi, Russians got duped by Putin and more recently: Turks looked up starry eyed to Erdogan, but I've never seen the abject self debasement Trump supporters voluntarily subject themselves to. You have your face planted on the tiling with your ass pulled in the air and your cheeks apart, but tragically you're not the one getting fucked.
At this point I have zero respect for anyone who supports this fat piece of shit wannabe dictator. You might not think you're a racist, but I'm not going to believe for a second that you'd be ok with children being locked up indefinitely for a misdemeanor of their parents, if those kids were white. Lucky for you, you'll get bailed out by the majority of Americans with some historic literacy, and never have to see where this is heading if it went unopposed.

Sure. Pedophrasty is an appeal to emotion. To not be a pedophrast, one must based argument on reason and evidence without using the emotional component that suspends reason.

Sure, but any argument that includes the words 'children' and 'suffering' can be accused of pedophrasty, since there's no way to divorce those concepts from emotion. So the whole pedophrasty argument can just be a cop out excuse for letting children suffer.

e.g.

Critic: "It's cruel to make children suffer."

Trumpist: "You're just a pedophrast."

What the fuck does "pedophrasty" mean?

[Poopadoop]

What the fuck does "pedophrasty" mean?

I made it up based on pedophrast. The practice of using children to make an argument have an appeal to emotions when it wouldn't otherwise have a good grounding.

e.g., "Immigration is bad. What if it was your child who got killed by an immigrant gang member?"

[oskar]

What the fuck does "pedophrasty" mean?

Apparently if you bring up children when talking about the separation and detainment of children, anything you say is invalid because it amounts to pedophrastry - apparently meaning something like using children to beg for money or use as an appeal to emotion, although I have not found any usage of the word outside of tabloid articles and twitter.

So to reiterate: I take your child, you ask me to give it back. I call you a pedophrast for bringing up children, thus winning the argument and archiving moral highground.

If this doesn't make sense to you, it's probably because you're not an idiot.

Everybody agrees that children shouldn't suffer.

Productive discussion will happen when it doesn't involve suspending reason by appealing to that emotion.
