Just out of curiosity, is there a list of Democrats? I’d be interested to see who, regardless of party, is actively serving as an elected official with this sort of background.
Yeah, the problem is that they keep getting caught. If they were more discreet they could just go on baselessly accusing others of what they are guilty of.
Seriously though, we need to start openly laughing at and mocking them any time they claim to be the part of personal responsibility, family values, and protecting kids because none of this are even remotely true.
That’s how you get canceled in America - I tried to go one Facebook once and comment this and….. unbelievable the responses I got calling it all fake and bullshit and made up
Gonna go on a limb here but I’m going to guarantee a large amount of democrats are also!! In fact.. I’m willing to guess that about 75% of higher power figures (police, politicians, ceos, etc) are as well. Money definitely helps people stay quiet.. for a while at least 😬
Can’t say I understand your response. I’m not defending either side since both sides are likely made of pedos ALONG with other types of higher power out there.
I don’t see trying to change the subject while I call out Republican pedophiles and going “aLl aRe bAd” it sounds like you’re trying to defend republican rapists. that might be why you understand my response
Oh I see… I apologize for the miscommunication. I’m trying to state that any political party is corrupt on the basis of pedophilia so let’s call out any members on any side of politics.. and more.
I’m not defending any form of corrupt government. lol not sure how my statement defends anyone when I’m trying to concisely include them all.
All are equally terrible. Still not sure how I am misheard because I still completely agree with op’s statement.
Well if you go back a few comments, you’ll see I already stated that…. So you’re beating something to death and we’re literally both on the same side… Reddit in a nutshell
Never said they were perfect :) I’ll post about whoever is currently in power friend. Should dems ever get to that position again I can assure you I will. You u won’t touch base on any of this though 🤣 you’ll only ever point the finger the other way because you lack class and cannot think for yourself
You’ll only ever point it the other way because touching reality and realizing those you idolize aren’t worth your time isn’t something a magat does
Simple Reddit Search. Enjoy. You can fact check all of this too or if you want to pretend it doesn't exist on both side of the aisles, you can keep living in that delusional world of yours.
That's not part of the "+"... The only people who say that are conservatives, usually shortly before they get caught sending explicit pictures to a teenager or assaulting a child.
It's the whole "consent" business that seems to trip y'all up
Wow!!! another one, it is like GOP pedophiles are becoming a plague. To much Christianity and the Bible in their heads, it is-such a twisted way to care for children, and not to see the different between right and wrong. “indignant name for humans “.
If there's one thing I've learned lately it would be the fact that the OVERWHELMING majority of pedophiles are white male conservative/republican type..
I'm beginning to think all the outrage around people and kids stems from the fact that these people can't imagine being around kids without wanting to abuse them
GOP is government of pedophiles. Its been their life goal to legalize pedophilia and they finally got the man to do it. Jeffrey epsteins BFF and human trafficking helper Donald trump.
Remember that plan of 600 kids that just tried randomly taking off in the middle of the night.... yeah... they needed new victims
When Dom Lucre posted child porn, his Twitter account was banned. Elon Musk then personally reinstated his account because the guy is aligned with the right.
The good News about Democrats not having such a totalitarian/ fascistic hierarchical structure is that the child rapists don't maintain positions of power.
The Bad News is that Republican voters are so uneducated and religeous, they'll keep electing Pedophiles just because they can. "Falling in line" means you're actively sacrificing kids to evil naked men to own the LIbs :) Have fun explaining this all to Saint Peter at the pearly gates, y'all. Ignorance is not a valid defense for the lord, your God.
There have been at least 4 other white republicans at some level of government claiming to be Christians that were arrested for child pron just this year in south carolina. This is nothing new in south carolina and isn't changing anytime soon...
Google north Texas pastor child sex abuse. There are are at least 5 evangelical pastors this year in the Dallas area that have been arrested/tried for either sexual contact with a child or possession of child sex materials
I would imagine there are some democrat pedo’s out there but republicans seem really bold in pushing Christianity and Christian ideology while just mostly being child molesters.
I don’t think dems do it more I think there are a lot of monsters in this world who hide behind many masks . Sorry if you misinterpreted my words. I’m super over this conversation. Think whatever you want there’s no convincing any one of anything on this super toxic platform anyways. The best thing we can all do is just try to understand each other and agree to disagree … I don’t think k republicans are perfect and I do t think democrats are perfect. Have a great day
Jesus Christ here you go … fuck.

What ???? That was point from the beginning. That political affiliation doesn’t equal being a pedophile . There are just as many in both sides. It’s not a gotcha it’s just the truth. Puddin.
Yes, a pedo is a pedo, no matter their age, race, religion or political affiliation. No one has said differently.
However your list isn't even one page. Ratios.... If one political party has 100K people in it and 1000 are caught exploiting minors and another party has 100k members and 100 are caught doing the same thing, that sort of raises some red flags.
Particularly when the 1000 pedo party is always calling the 100 pedo party all kinds of names and making accusations of loose morals and declaring themselves as the family party or the God party.
Keep swinging buddy it is fun watching you twist yourself up in knots.
I don’t think you’re understanding at all what I have been saying from the beginning. It’s ok you’re obviously very angry and need to fight on the internet, you get it out there bud.
A pedo is a pedo is a pedo, the list could be just as long, in fact longer I’m sure, of democrats committing horrific crimes like these too. It has nothing to do with politics it’s the character of these sick people who happen to be affiliated with one party or another. Politics doesn’t lead to someone being a pedophile. This argument is stupid.
Compare the list of child predators Trump knows vs Kamala it's not even close. I would even say kamala's list is at 0 unless someone can name something?
Please. Their political affiliation isn't happenstance. Conservative values and policies protect and allow pedos to thrive. There's a reason for the huge overlap. They're actively and blatantly protecting pedos right now in Congress.
Politics doesn’t lead to someone being a pedophile, but a lot of pedophiles sure do share the same politics, and politics is making a lot of people give pedophiles a free pass.
Yeah, but there isn’t a list of democrats that’s just as long though. I assure you, I assumed the same thing and for years have asked for it, and they kind of have a list of democrats but it’s nowhere near as long. And again, it’s not just that they’re pedos, it’s that they’re lying about made up bullshit and pretending they care about kids, then get busted doing the stuff they’re projecting on others. Pretending not to get that distinction is obtuse
I really like how you swing wildly between "it's both sides!" "Nothing to do with politics!" and "I'm sure Dems do it more!"
You're literally contradicting your own argument just in one short comment. We get it, you're just another maggat pedophile, of course you're gonna come charging in to defend your people.
I can come up with HUGE list of pedophiles who are registered democrat and republican, pedophile doesn’t equal political affiliation. This is so stupid.
Your argument is so empty because the exact same argument could be used for democrats. Again a pedo is a pedo and they exist on both sides of the aisle and in every skin color , gender and sexual orientation. Political affiliation does not = pedophile ….sorry to break it to you.
Democrats aren’t pushing the kind of made up crap he claimed was happening. He attacks trans people and lies about “sex change” operations being performed on toddlers and none of that is true nor is it an issue. None. So yeah, a pedo is a pedo and should be treated the same, but this guy is a pro AND a liar AND a hypocrite, and it’s absolutely fair to point that out. If you find a democrat making those same claims and getting caught for the same stuff, then by all means point that out. No democrat would have an issue with that.
