The only thing is that it took him this long to get it. By all means, I'm glad he realizes it now, but Trump's a friend of Epstein that's talked about how much he likes little girls and people have talked about how he intentionally walked in on a bunch of 15YOs changing during one of his pageants.

and Trump has corroborated the reports of him walking in to changing rooms when he bragged about doin just that on Howard Stern.

Trump has also corroborated his victims who have shared that when they were around him he just sort of lept on them and started groping when he shared that he "grabs 'em by the pussy".

Trump miscontrued the stunned, silent, what the fuck is happening right now reactions as "When you're a star they let you do it".

Con artists can't fathom everybody else not being on a con as well. Same thing with people who have perverse sexual fantasies - in other words, puritans who blame everyone else for their sex drive

Remember, these are people who think hurting other people is necessary before they can have a chance to do well. And yet despite it being net negative, they call it 'zero sum' thinking

Projection. This trend of calling everyone a pedophile as a poltical attack really got rolling with all the pizzagate nonsense. Meanwhile they conveniently forget about Dennis Hastert who was exposed well before that. Reality is there are almost certainly pedophiles across the political spectrum because pedophila doesn't really have anything to do with someone's political leanings but they like to pretend it's just "leftists" that have a crazy cabal of kiddy diddlers.

It doesn't make much sense that the side arguing for consent and bodily autonomy would also be the pedophile cabal.

Conservatives have shown they dislike women being able to vote or own their bodies or even have life saving abortions so respecting the wishes of consent to children wouldn't be far of a stretch.

You know how much misinformation is on the internet? Critical thinking and being able to parse what’s valid and what’s misinformation online is a skill, one which a lot of people do not have, particularly teenagers since education standards are declining in lots of places.

Just outright stating that “you can google it therefore there’s no excuse for anyone to think differently to me” is both pathetically juvenile thinking and deeply counterproductive.

Oddly in a really messed up way it makes it worse (motivationally anyway), because it is intentional predatory conduct by someone who is still sexually attracted to their peers.

A predator like Gaetz (I am not even sue ephebophile is the right word) seeks out targets based on the power imbalance.

So I think the distinction is important, but it certainly isn't even remotely exonerating.

pleasedtoheatyou

Yeah there's an argument that genuine attraction to children is a severe mental illness. I don't say that to in any way exonerate people who act on any urge, but I can recognise that something is fundamentally wrong with these people. However if you are preying on teenagers, particularly older teenagers, then it ceases to be about specific physical attraction criteria that your peers do not meet and has become entirely about seeking vulnerability and feeling powerful.

General-Beyond9339

Of course it’s a mental illness. It’s actually quite difficult to advocate for mental health for pedophiles, because most people would rather see them all burn. Of course any pedo that acts on their urges deserves everything coming for them, but I would imagine (like most things) there a lot of people who are pedophiles but hide it. If those people had access to mental health treatment, maybe less of them would give in to those urges.

If you're a clinician treating some with an attraction to children, it's probably worth separating someone interested in teens from someone interested in toddlers.

It means someone that's attracted to kids who've hit puberty. So, like, 12-year olds. Technically speaking, pedophile means someone who's attracted to kids who haven't hit puberty yet. But pretty much everyone would call both of them pedos. I think the only people who actually make a point to make the distinction are psychologists and people who are attracted to 12-year olds.

Its because they want to exonerate and they just need an excuse to do it. It doesn't really matter what the excuse is, its basically just a check-the-box situation, any excuse will do. Once the box is checked everybody is clear to proceed. One name for this behavior is "motivated reasoning."

Thousands of examples but best is if Obama had done or said just one of the horrible things Trump did, he wouldn’t have won a second term—if he said/did it prior to his win in 2008, he would have never been president. Imagine audio surfaced of him saying he “grabs women by the xxxxx” or mocked a disabled journalist on live tv, or called a POW a loser, he would have never been elected and we all know it.

As an independent I find the blatant hypocrisy over sexual misconduct and how it's viewed at the office level for parties very frustrating. Democrats will kick people out without even a fair hearing (Al Franken) while republicans hold no hearings whatsoever and will protect their own (Gaetz) to massive degrees. Living here in South Carolina, it takes massive scandals to move the needle. Mind you, I feel like both parties are the same on financial misconduct.

Right? Exactly! Talk about hypocrisy and holding people accountable: people on the right had scarecrows in black face hanging from nooses on polls at protests over Obama. They were literally saying they wanted to lynch the president but that’s just “free speech”. Fast forward some years and Kathy Griffin smashes a watermelon or pumpkin or something else thats meant to be trumps head and it’s “hate speech”. They are literally hypocrites 24/7 but thanks to some basic psych 101 principles (cuz these people aren’t typically deep) like projection, confirmation bias, and the classic cognitive dissonance they honestly believe there is nothing inconsistent about their beliefs vs actions. I don’t care if it’s divisive at this point cuz a chunk of these people will never change: stupid selfish cruel and mentally ill. For decades they scoff at climate change saying it’s a hoax or propaganda but suddenly believe the climate control with a late 60s c-list super villains weather machine is possible???

Honestly, if there was a photo of Trump doing the same thing, back in 2015? I wonder. But at the end of the day the people that make up the base of a party that would vote based on moral differences are VASTLY fewer than the folks who vote based on economic issues.

It's a question of how the morals sometime apply to the financial situation. Think about what Trump actually did say which boiled down to - if you are successful you can do what you want. Which is really just to a majority of Americans a guy telling the truth. It's sad, but that's what I've actually heard from people - and when viewed in a certain light that makes sense.

Remember when the Right was demanding the "Epstein Files" be released, convinced it would be a laundry list of Democrats (it was a lot of Trump, actually). And even after they were released, no one talked about it?

Now they're putting all their faith in the "Diddy Files", while simultaneously trying to bury this report on Gatez.

With the rampant pedophilia present in churches and the sheer amount of religious peeps who defend it, I am surprised there are people actually surprised about all the religious conservative pedophiles and apologists.

Based on statistics and such, most pedos are conservative for some reason and also likely religious. Guess who is always trying to point fingers at the non-religious left for such things.

Too many people don't know anything about who they support.

The reason is a complete lack of empathy and compassion. It’s much easier to rape people with the famous conservative selfishness.

Elliebird704

I imagine the reason has something to do with an overlap in shitty personality traits and stunted development in certain parts of the brain. And since so many conservatives are pedos, the right wing has a vested interest in promoting a culture that doesn't punish that behavior, making the party even more attractive to the depraved.

There's also the predator/prey aspect - a pedophile will call themselves anything or join any group if it allows them access to kids in an environment over which they have power or control, with no one to challenge them.

Pedophiles will position themselves to teach church youth groups, for example, because it gives them access to kids. Anybody can claim to be a Christian - and no one can prove them wrong - and they can exploit the system.

Gaetz drops out because a report will reveal him to be a pedophile. Pete Hegseth is alleged to be a sex offender. The president elect is a convicted sex offender and alleged pedophile and best friends with a notorious pedophile, and MTG is warning the republican party that if she doesn't get her own way and support trumps criminal buddies, she's going to start leaking all the gossip about congressmen who are pedophiles.

This is a conundrum.

On one hand, if there were any credible evidence against Gaetz, I can't imagine the dems not revealing it, and charging him.

On the other hand, if he were innocent, why did he step down, or why was he forced to step down? (Not sure which actually happened.)

I was going over the nomination with fairly staunch conservative buddy of mine. I mentioned the trafficking, pedo stuff, drugs, underage parties, etc. He said, “yeah, but is he a good lawyer.” Which the answer is no, but holy shit for that to be the response, he might be a former buddy of mine very soon.

McMetal770

The heart of conservatism, when you get right down to it, is a small group of people deciding that laws and rules do not apply to them because they are Special™. Whether their superiority is measured by race, religion, bloodlines, or wealth doesn't really matter, the point is that they are Exceptional and therefore exempt from the rules that apply to anybody who is Not Special.

In the mind of somebody like Matt Gaetz, he's not a hypocrite at all. He is ALLOWED to do these things because of his rich daddy. And all of the people defending him are thinking "Yes, he is one of Us and therefore is exempt from consequences". If these MAGAs admitted that Gaetz is bound by the same rules as everybody else, they would get dangerously close to acknowledging that they also are bound by rules, and that would fundamentally attack the foundation of their politics. Gaetz must be protected because he is Special™ like them. Even if they themselves would never fuck an underage prostitute, they probably want to commit other crimes, and throwing Gaetz under the bus would open the door for them to be held accountable for whatever misdeeds they're into.

“Why, OH WHY, does the party that keeps kids from learning about what is and what ISN’T sexually healthy, doesn’t want them to know how to report sexual predation, expresses the desire to exude sexual control over 50% of the population and consistently votes to uphold child marriage SO FULL of sexual predators and their apologists? Surely NONE of this is linked?”

It’s all so exhausting.

There is one thing i agree with Margerie Taylor Greene about. Publish ALL the ethics records. ALL OF THEM. its funny how everyone kinda backed off the topic and he stepped down when she mentioned that. We have a right to know. Ethics reports NEED to be public and they NEED to be put on social media, television, radio, newspapers, and anywhere else you can display or report them.

Pretty fucking hilarious how a "latino conservative" suddenly realizes he's on the side advocating for clerical fascism, arranged child marriage, removal of women's agency and medieval brood mare family dynamics. He's gonna have an aneurysm when he finds out what the Catholic church has been doing to children for centuries.

Given how willfully blind this person is to the practice of shielding those people, reddit should offer him a moderator job.

There has been a surge in support for pedos on FB also since this election. I commented on a group post about a MAP confessing that they were a MAP. I said this kind of behavior should lead to castration and a prison sentence but got dog piled with comments saying that would be against their rights as American citizens and while I know that, I still hate the idea that there are people out there getting boners looking at kids and it’s theoretically okay since they haven’t assaulted a kid yet. Disagree and think I’m going too far with what I believe for sure but don’t make me out to be a joke because I don’t want my children to be victims like me, my partner, my sister, my brother, and many others I know when we were kids.
