    Eh. I’m not the better person on this. I have no problem treating bigots the way they treat others. I’m a trans person, and I have to live with a constant parade of politicians and influencers calling me and my people pedophiles simply for existing. Sorry, turnabout is fair play. And really, the GOP really is the party of pedophilia. Their entire worldview is pro child fucking. From their encouragement of child marriage, to their complete rejection of the rights of children, to the general belief of “Father knows best.” Their ideal world is one where girls are married off to older powerful men by the time they are 14 years old. It is not a coincidence that so many GOP politicians are arrested for crimes against children. It’s their whole worldview.

    I’m not going to start accusing random parents of being child fuckers if they simply have a few questions when their kid comes out. But if you are a politician or influencer, who makes attacking trans people a core part of your brand? Someone really needs to look at your hard drive. You’re probably a pedophile.

      That works when the media isn’t saturated with bigotry.

      And really, the GOP really is the party of pedophilia.

      I wish this was just a partisan thing. Epstein had dirt across the board, which is why he was as warmly greeted in the NYC cocktail scene and Silicon Valley as Florida or Texas.

      Then you’re welcome to take your shot. But claiming JK Rowling is a pedophile simply because she’s a chronic, shameless TERF does nothing.

        Ah yes, both sides are the same. Are there sexual predators in the Democratic party? Of course. But you’re insane if you think the rates are anywhere similar. And again, it is not simply that there are some pedophiles in the Republican party. Pedophilia is baked into the entire platform and ethos of the Republican party. It IS a pedophile party. The Democrats just have a few pedophiles among their ranks. See pedocon theory.

        And Rowling likely does have some pedophilic tendencies. She’s literally obsessed with the genitals of children. Whether she’s personally diddled a kid, I don’t know. Maybe she’s resisted her urges. But she demonstrates clear pedophilic tendencies. It is not normal to be obsessed with the genitals of children.

          When they’re sharing an aisle on the Lolita Express, absolutely.

          But you’re insane if you think the rates are anywhere similar.

          So many of these political elites came from the same extended families, went to the same schools, worked on behalf of the same businesses for the same oligarchs, and continue to advance the same socio-economic interests. At some point, you can’t keep pretending that your Kristen Sinemas and your Martha Blackburns are playing for different teams when they’re collaborating on identical sets of policy.

          And Rowling likely does have some pedophilic tendencies. She’s literally obsessed with the genitals of children.

          It’s a cute line to throw in someone’s face, until they throw it right back.

          Whether she’s personally diddled a kid, I don’t know.

          That’s too bad, because it’s central to the accusation.

          And when you follow this to its logical conclusion, you just end up with the fucking Labour Party saying “Nobody is allowed to even say the word ‘Transgender’ without holding up a picture of their birth certificate on the internet.”
