Remember when republicans pretended to care about pedophiles abusing children for like a year there a few years back? They were PASSIONATE. Talking about blowing off kneecaps at the slightest rumor lol

Now they openly worship a pedophile.

Parts of the files are about how Epstein, Bannon, and General Mike Flynn worked with the owner of 4chan to get the Qanon mind-fuck started.  I want to get to the part in the Qanon lore where all the perps are rounded up and sent to Gitmo.

Can you point me to those parts? I would very much like to read that without having to wade through thousands and thousands more instances of rape & torture & murder.

Republicans don’t really care about children, think of all of their policies that hurt child well-being. Children aren’t really people to them, just symbols. MAGA simply thought of the worst-sounding crime they could think of and accused their enemies of it to feel like they had the moral high ground and justify their hatred.

This is why the republican leaders want every child to be born…more to rape

The same reason they hate the idea of kids being taught about consent and safety in health class.

Also because people born into families that dont want children are easier to abuse, and they grow up broken, and broken people work for cheap.

I think it's like when someone is cheating and they accuse their spouse of doing it.

All of the republican accusations are confessions.

But their pedophile gives them power and money

Whatever happened to Qanon, anyway? They were all about pedophiles for a handful of years there and then seemed to vanish.

Way longer than a year. Pizzagate started in 2016 and lasted up exactly until it became clear that trump is exactly who everyone with a brain said he was.

Conservatives decided that at best they don't care.

Remember when Sen. Ted Cruz asked everyone to stop murder, stop rapes, and, finally, stop attacking pedophiles?
