Every day it seems like another GOP has been busted for CSAM or actual rape and abuse. I think these are just the ones who get caught and that there are hundreds more. It is a business and someone must have taken over for Epstein.
They do this to hide and normalize a whole range of abhorrent behavior.
Seriously! Even without the pedophelia, they’re fucking crooks every one of them. They’re all into shady business stuff. Their lives and their very meaning for existence is the insatiable hunger for more and more wealth and power. These are the worst monsters around.
I think as individuals, most all of them are opposed to child abuse. Protecting children from “woke groomers” is one of their unifying battle cries.
Sadly, their tribalism is stronger than their concern for the kids. Once one of their own is accused of child abuse, they rally to their defense. In their mind, they are the good guys, and someone who’s on the “good guy team” could never do something like that. The only reasonable explanation is that they were wrongly accused or there was a terrible misunderstanding, or sigh they deserved/ asked for it.
Of course, this rabid tribalism attracts MORE predators. As long as they can convince everyone that they are “one of them” they know that they can get away with a few more lies than if they were hanging out with independent thinkers.
Nah, I think it’s the influence of religion that makes that shit more common in the GOP. They mostly seem to stick together out of fear and unbridled hatred.
They stick together? Sure they don’t allow each other to be prosecuted, but they bicker like cats attempting to herd each other
The same cognitive dissonance that allows them to both act on, and excuse instances of molestation in their community/family, is the very same driver of their wanton disregard of the people harmed by republican policies. They see any instances of pedophilia in their ranks as “just a bad apple,” while they identify an entire race of people as rapists if a single news report shows a member of that race/minority group committing such an act. It’s entirely predicated on their belief that they are superior, and it is because of something inherent within them, that does not exist in others. They judge themselves not by their actions (and consequences of said actions) but by their intentions, while they have no such qualms demonizing any number of minority groups for the actions of a single member.
so, short answer, yes.
Long answer, yessssssssssssssssssssssssssss.
Look man at this point saying either party has a monopoly on pedophilia is sort of ridiculous. It’s very obviously a rich/powerful thing, not a left/right thing.
I don’t see how anyone doesn’t understand that at some point. Diddy’s arrest was less than 24 hours ago.
