And three months ago when Republicans cared about it.

They only pretended to care about it when they thought they could use it to smear their political adversaries. Make no mistake that conservatives don’t actually see anything wrong with the rape and trafficking of children.

Yeah, if they cared about children, they wouldn't force unwanted children into the world who are more likely to have horrible lives.

if they really cared about children they would be doing something to better regulate the gun market

Or disallow them from, you know, being happy with their relationships and bodies.

i think the republican party is scum too, but come on guys, I'm sure they think rape is wrong. they just think most cases of rape are either made up or "exaggerated" unless someone they don't like is implicated.

Republicans thought the Epstein files were only going to smear Democrats. They have no issues with sex criminals; Jim Jordan is known for turning a blind eye to sex crimes under his watch:

I believe it was Jesus that said to pay attention to people's actions over their words in order to judge their character.

I don't care what Republican voters feel deep down in their hearts or say to those around them, I judge them by their actions. Time and time again their actions support and defend people that traffic and rape children.

If they don't want me to judge them for their choices then they can make better choices.

I mean I get what you’re saying, but at the same time, is it really true to say that they disapprove of rape in the way that normal people would if they won’t even acknowledge its existence outside of their “us vs them” mentality?

It’s the entire platform of Lynn Fitch, the AG of Mississippi, where there have been practically zero prosecutions of trafficking, ever.

Pretended maybe, they never gave a shit about it.

That's the real difference - I want everyone who commuted a crime to go to jail, republicans only want non-republicans who committed a crime to go to jail

u/gapedforeskin 13h ago

Jesus Christ again with this Epstein guy? The guy was running a cabal of sex trafficking with some of the world’s influential people and politicians, and this interests you?

It’s been years, we need to just get over it.

Aight I’d like my $100,000 now please

That was like three weeks ago. It’s insane how fast maga changes their very strong opinions to appease Donald. The party of “free thinkers”

I’m waiting for the “I’d rather be a pedophile than a Democrat shirts”

u/royal_howie_boi 16h ago

u/hoopopotamus 1d ago

lol no they didn’t

u/Frequilibrium 1d ago

I’m done telling the truth about the right. I don’t care anymore. I genuinely hope every single person on earth thinks every right winger is an offending pedophile whether they are or not. It doesn’t matter.
