The right will flip as soon as they get the messaging that they're supposed to. They now support child rape, so it's hard to believe this will be their breaking point.

I think you underestimate how gullible people on our own side are as well, too.

The left basically encouraged and egged on child rape as liberatory in the 1970s and only stopped because public opinion didn't go their way

Yeah... it is a bit weird that in the last few decades large groups of both sides of American politics have tried to get folk on board with raping kids. That seems like a thing maybe we should question more.

Pure nonsense. "The left" as a whole did no such thing. You are mistaking some vocal individuals with an entire group of people.

[–] stepan@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

The right as a whole didn't do anything either. Entities don't exist as wholes, rather as sporadic collections of people

No, no. The group I support is made up of brilliant individuals with strong ethics and morals, but any group I disagree with is a hive mind in which all behaviors of any member of those groups can reasonably be attributed to all of it's members.
