It's ALWAYS a republican !

[–] skozzii@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 day ago

He resigned so he would be available to be appointed to a high ranking government position by Trump... if you surround yourself with Pedophiles you don't have to worry about them not defending you, and its clearly working so far.

This happens so often I wonder why people haven't learned to immediately become suspicious when a public figure says they want to "protect the kids"

It is the P in GOP.

Gaslight. Obstruct. Project.

[–] SPRUNT@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I thought the P stood for "Pedophile".

[–] chronicledmonocle@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago

That works too, but Projection can cover multiple things.

Can’t believe he resigned and didn’t just carry on.

[–] Showroom7561@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago

He'll be promoted once Trump hears about it. He's always looking for more players to join his team.

How long are we going to ignore this extremely obvious pattern? This seems like a problem indemic to the Republican party. What the fuck is going on?

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 175 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (3 children)

Republicans get off on cruelty and power directed at those who can't fight back. Pedophiles get off on cruelty and power directed at those who can't fight back. Spot the connection.

Thr Republican party is the natural home of kiddy fiddlers.

My grandfather was staunchly Republican. For forever. Eventually became a maga person, he had the hat and everything. He was always at the very least a "bit" racist vocally. Towards the end of trump's last term something happened that spured him to leaving the maga movement. They cut his VA benefits. He's still a racist but since it directly affected him, he was against it. This example clearly it directly affects this person's family, but not the person himself. They make excuses that explain away all the transgressions via religion or "better for country". It's more important than ever to remember when he said "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters, OK?" He doesn't tell the truth often, but this is a circumstance that I actually believe he did. I don't know how we got to this point of delusion, but I do think it's systemic. He's a result of the disease, not the actual problem. Remember "the sin of empathy"?

Pedocon theory

Pedocon theory is a theory like gravity is a theory. Women's subservience is what they believe in: they'll just tell you. Children's obedience is what they believe in: they'll just tell you. Fathers' right to rule their families is what they believe in: they'll just tell you. Pedophilia is the natural outcome of all these ideologies: children are the property of men. MAGA has made a religion of patriarchy. In many cases, this toxic vine is wound deeply through their actual religious practices of fundamentalist Christianity. If that is the theory, pedophilia is the practice. The evidence is there, if you're willing to look.

"If you're willing to look." I've used such phrases throughout this essay. That is because pedocon theory is a self-censoring fact: something so profoundly uncomfortable to think about that you instead choose not to. You sweep the evidence away, add up one bad apple after another and pretend you do not see.

That they resigned.

Why would President Joe Biden have done something as terrible as planting child pornography on this man's computer?

EDIT: Ahahahaha.

According to court filings, May allegedly used the screen name “joebidennnn69” on the Kik social media app over five days in spring 2024 to exchange 220 files depicting toddlers and young children in sexual acts.

It is just impossible to parody this.

[–] MTK@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

"toddlers" makes it so much worse... Teen is fucking terrible, pre-teen is horrifying, but toddlers?? I don't know a word to describe how fucked up that is...

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 38 points 2 days ago

Toddlers and young children... Wow. Guild Of Pedophiles gonna phile I guess.

[–] nymnympseudonym@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

Let's protect them from the gays and groom them behind closed doors* I fixed that for you

[–] LadyButterfly@reddthat.com 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I do wish the media would stop saying child porn. It's abuse and rape, not porn

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No, they are NOT the same things. Both are terrible, but child porn goes further, it's the filming/photography of abuse and rape.

That's like saying rape and murder are both the same, so let's charge them as the same crime. They aren't, they are both horrible, but let's identify these assholes by the very crime they have committed.

[–] LadyButterfly@reddthat.com 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Yes so they should be called child abuse images. Not child porn

[–] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

They are. The formal word is Child Sexual Abuse Material. CP is what the people in the Epstein list call it

[–] BussyGyatt@feddit.org 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm the Epstein list

GET HIM!!!!

[–] Phegan@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

Every accusation is an admission

[–] MTK@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

MAGA are essentially having turf wars on pedophilia and assume that anyone with a sexual deviation from the majority must also share their own sexual depravity.

[–] Ilixtze@lemmy.ml 66 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Another instance of: "Every accusation is a confession."

It's almost a joke at this point how many MAGA pedophiles there are. Do they realize they're a joke?
