When Republicans in their 30s get caught supporting Hitler in a group chat, conservatives call them “kids.”
When underage girls get sexually abused by Trump's friends (and probably Trump), conservatives call them “young women.”
The language tells you everything you need to know about GOP morality and family values.
Self-confessed cheerleader here. I agree completely.
Keeping an ally standing and engaged is a crucial and worthy task.
@lancehomer sometimes one of the sides really is horrible, and wrong, and beyond redemption, Lance.
Stop enabling them.
@augieray
@Tattie @lancehomer @augieray nah both sides suck, Bill Clinton and other dems are somewhere there, and Harvey Weinstein was a huge democrat protected by Hillary and fam.
George Stephanopolous was reported to be on Epstein parties so i suspect that the truth will not come out as many expect it.
But the republicans have completely destroyed their chaste and puritan reputation by defending Donald Trump, so it does look worse than what Democrats have done.
...and the GOP are brutally attacking their own people who want the vote, up to and including death threats.
@Extimate_cookie @augieray There aren't as many dems. The core beliefs of the dems are like 'treat others with respect', 'listen to victims' and other ideology that increase risk for abusers.
The right is about might makes right, he with the gold makes the rules, and that sort of stuff. It's an aggregator for people who are selfish narcissistic and desperate for power, and who is easier to take power from than children who lack the physical and psychological prowess to defend.
@Extimate_cookie @augieray Generalizations are inherently simplistic as are your whataboutisms. I certainly did not use absolutes, referring to the environment of the dems as more hostile and that of the GOP as more supportive of child molesters. Of course one can hide on the left. They merely don't have to hide very hard on the right.
Also, we are talking about groups comprised of many people. Simplistic 'core values' is the correct tool for generalized statements about the group.
@Extimate_cookie @augieray Here, let's use an example even a child can understand in hopes it it base enough for you to grasp.
Probably most everyone who has driven a car has at some point intentionally sped at least once. The bulk of those people who dipped the toe into breaking the law probably did it out on an open road where no one was around and they had little fear of getting caught. They didn't stop the gas downtown in front of a school next to a convent.
The GOP protects narcissists.
@obscurestar Here is an old article for example of how Hispanics were critical of Obama's deportation policies. It's also estimated, although I can't be sure, that Obama deported more people than Trump. If someone could correct me on that I'd be grateful. He did stick to the law or some semblance of it at least, though. So it appears more "humane", but the results are also devastating to many families, still. Ironically sometimes terrible politicies and even war crimes are enacted but with this veneer of international law and order, which makes them hard to resist. Obama was ruthless on foreign politicy and was the middle east drone strikes guy.
@Extimate_cookie Oh no worries. I guessed you were a desperate spam bot from the way your original post was written. You should tell your programmer to stop cutting and pasting from AI as not being able to stick to the subject is a hallmark of extremely lazy and incompetent programming.
Please do go right ahead and claim that you're a human who lacks the mental functionality of even a poorly written spam bot tho. I don't mind.
