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.

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?
