    The right will flip as soon as they get the messaging that they’re supposed to. They now support child rape, so it’s hard to believe this will be their breaking point.

      I think you underestimate how gullible people on our own side are as well, too.

      The left basically encouraged and egged on child rape as liberatory in the 1970s and only stopped because public opinion didn’t go their way

        Pure nonsense. “The left” as a whole did no such thing. You are mistaking some vocal individuals with an entire group of people.

          The right as a whole didn’t do anything either. Entities don’t exist as wholes, rather as sporadic collections of people

            No, no. The group I support is made up of brilliant individuals with strong ethics and morals, but any group I disagree with is a hive mind in which all behaviors of any member of those groups can reasonably be attributed to all of it’s members.

        WTF are you talking about? I was around back then, and no Democratic politicians were supporting “child rape” for any reason, that’s ludicrous.

        You need to learn the difference between history and propaganda.

        Yeah… it is a bit weird that in the last few decades large groups of both sides of American politics have tried to get folk on board with raping kids. That seems like a thing maybe we should question more.

          When did anyone on the left try to “get folks on board with raping kids?”

          Supply a source, or STFU.

            Did you memory hole the entire pedo advocacy movement of the 70s?

              Gen Z/Alpha kids who think everything has always been like the last decade. Shits so bizarro world upside down we have entire generations that think walking on your head is normal.

            Oh my God, you’re embarrassing. People discuss history and you freak the fuck out thinking your chosen political party is being insulted. Not sure if you’re genuinely a child or just someone who didn’t pay attention to anything in the world before the last 10 years.

            You should take the time to actually read through the Epstein files for yourself. It’s not just Republicans named in there as abusers. It was first reported the FBI over 30 years ago. It’s not just a Republican administration that sat on it and didn’t do shit. It’s not just a Republican administration that was complicit.

            Go do some reading for yourself. It will be good for you.
