    What they’d do is criminalise all forms of Queerness (and make it wide ranging, not even Asexuality will be safe) but legalise paedophilia.

      Pretty sure if the rape conviction did nothing. The transcript of what a taxi driver says they heard 30 years ago, about what they heard Trump say, won’t be the straw that breaks the camels back.

    In 10 years we’ll have two pedos running and democrats will demand your vote for the second worst one.

      The Democrats really suck. Our FPTP 2-party system is really some bullshit. However, it is really difficult for me to buy into the validity of the slippery slope you are describing when the people around me keep voting for the option that is #1 worst by a whole fucking lot.

      And the further that #1 worst keeps surging and lapping #2 on the evil-dex, the further their psycho supporters seem to like it! We’ll see if the pedo shit can finally reverse that.

      This would be a different conversation if we’d elected democrats over and over to avoid republicans and somehow still got dragged to the right. At the end of the Obama administration, for instance, there was the concern of the bait and switch.

      But no. He gets impeached a couple times for betraying the US in different ways after being openly terrible for years, and dozens of millions of people still turn out to vote for him. He tries some light coup and all the daily otherwise career ending craziness, and they turn out to vote for him AGAIN in HIGHER numbers.

      The fact that the democrats are the good cop capitalists to the republicans’ bad cop capitalists is definitely a problem, yes. Any of us who get to vote in the US should be keenly aware of that. And there are multiple things we can try to fix in parallel. But sometimes you have to fix things sequentially too.

      What a weird way to deflect from our current president being a pedophile

            This mass abuse would not have been covered up for 40 years if it was not inclusive of elite actors across the board.

            And “we have scientifically calibrated how to be exactly epsilon less horrible than the republicans” has been the Democratic strategy since the 1990s.

            Look at the UK; Labour is a preview of what the next “democratic” regime in the US will look like.

    I’m hoping in 10 years it becomes socially shameful to be a Republican and that those who are get refused business everywhere and shamed into non-existence or suicide.

    But, unfortunately, with the way things are going it is likely it’ll be the inverse.

      Unfortunately, they’re more likely to convince their base that it’s ok to be a pedo if you’re chosen by God or some shit. The Great Order of Pedophiles may live on…

    Pedophilia, rape, immorality and a general capability to do the exact opposite of the rules set by Christianity will be a requirement for any future candidates.

    The more morally depraved they can be, the more likely they will be politically successful.

      Thats what Im saying. 10 years ago it was all dog whistles and red meat. Now they openly court groypers and proud boys.

      10 years from now it will be, “please offer your daughter upto the high priest so he can purify her with his cock.”

    There’s a comic where a character describes beautiful philanthropic ventures he’d begin when he becomes rich. The next panel, they’re suddenly rich. In the next, the newly minted billionaire rubs his chin in consideration. In the last panel, he says he’d like to fuck children instead.

    (I’ve described it rather than posting it because I can’t think of a way to look this up without ending up on a list)

    I can’t imagine electing a billionaire, let alone a Russian mafia asset pedophile prolific rapist bigot billionaire
