    Oof, I got what I wanted out of this post but you sound genuine, so Imma wade back in for a second here.

    Yeah, of course. It could have been worded differently. But I’m not going for accuracy. I’m going for:

    1. Is it short enough to read in a few seconds
    2. Does it elicit a response.

    And I already clarified why I chose the specific phrasing and picture. It’s because the only real defense an actual cultist can make is to say it’s not as bad as pedophilia because it’s just garden variety incest.

    I’m not ashamed to admit I have an “agenda”.

    The right wing in this country weaponized that word to attack everything from school teachers to trans folk. I wanted to pair quotes and imagery that left absolutely no wriggle room to dispute it, and rub their nose in it.

    I want the link of Trump=Pedo paired with irrefutable evidence of his sexual degeneracy and this is as close as I can get until Trump admits he is one in National TV. (Rate he is going I wouldn’t be surprised if he did.)

    As for my interaction with Mr. Fartbox(?) over here…

    Looks like I’m catching some aggro from the folks hung up on accuracy, and I gotta say, being new to the party it’s kind of heartwarming to see you guys all coming together to defend one of your own.

    It’s sweet.

    That said, I’m going to keep making the style of memes I like, you’re welcome to make your own, and by all means downvote to your heart’s content when the inaccuracy of the word choices bothers you.

    I thought the guy was a proper cultist, (he did a convincing job of cosplaying one) hence that specific comment thread where you see me essentially trying to make him say one bad thing about Donald Trump, and failing.

    If he wasn’t so stubborn the thread would have been two comments long.

    If he’s not, great! That’s one less cultist to convince to sit home or pull for Harris this November. I also wouldn’t have wasted 30 minutes of my time trying to convert one, but I’m just as happy to know he wasn’t one in the first place.
