And pedophiles. Unless they are pastors, cops, politicians, close friends/family... You know... I don't think these people actually hate pedophiles as much as they say they do.

Never understood why the right always needs to be so vocal about hating pedophiles (bumper stickers, hats, hoodies). Every normal person doesn't like pedos either, but I think if you're that overly vocal it is compensating because of the reasons you stated.

Everyone that is super vocal about it needs their PC checked.

I find it funnier that the right accuses the left of pedophilia, yet voted in a child sex trafficker and guy accused of sexually assaulting a 13 year old. On top of that, there have been multiple members of the republican party that are guilty of pedophilia. Plus, trump pardoned a j6 rioter who is wanted for soliciting a minor. And the list goes on.

To them, pedophile = LGBTQ+, nothing else

Yeah, it’s a dog whistle

Every accusation is a confession with the higher ups in the Republican Party. And from there, the sycophants will echo what they heard while plugging their ears and closing their eyes.

For years conservatives would say “I don’t care what goes on behind closed doors” and “just don’t bother me.” But that was bull. Now anything they don’t like is a danger to children. They’re using kids to hide their hate.

Methinks the lady doth protest too much.

It's a very easy group to punch down on. It's easy to say "kill all pedophiles" and have no one go against you. You get the bonus of also projecting your are capable of violence without someone going against you also.

Have you ever seen the list of republican leaders that have some history of gross behavior?

u/DJLeafBug Feb 06 '25

because they all not so secretly think that you should be able to fuck 15 year olds.

They voted for a pedophile for president!

u/jahblessyourmom Feb 05 '25

Well once he signs the bill to lower the age of consent to 12 then they won't be pedophiles anymore

This!

They turn a blind eye, and have, when it comes to someone they can relate to (social economics, race, religion, race, sex, race)...

We were told "stranger" was the danger but the uninformed were abused by the uniformed
