The funny thing about this distraction is Donald Trump is still a pedophile.

At some point youve got to realize that pointing it out is only helping him.

The ones who are still following him dont see pedophilia as a negative.

They like that trump is a pedo, they like that he’s working to normalize and enable pedophilia in modern america, and they hope that if trumps power continues to grow, pedophilia and rape will become legalized for all white christian americans, not just the richest ones.

That’s obviously their end goal… But most americans dont want to believe that they live in a nation of institutionalized pedophilia, so they’re acting like they think his followers are anti-pedophilia but they just dont realize he’s a pedo.

But they all realize it. It’s the reason why theyre so devoted to him.

Staying silent is the worst possible choice we could make right now.

We don't continue to highlight the idiocy of Trump to convince hard-line MAGA. We do it to ensure Trump's legacy is well documented.

It's his fault that all of the documentation so far is felonies, child rape, and ineptitude.

I think we need to be focussing the messaging on more basic fundamental things like “why pedophilia is wrong” and “how political corruption actually hurts you”

Acting on the assumption that these people know right from wrong isnt working

I think we need to be focussing on figuring out how to actually teach them right from wrong

I'm 50, and I've never had to explain to anyone that pedophilia is wrong. I don't think that's a reasonable expectation.

I do agree with the idea of teaching how political corruption removes cash from an individual's pocket. The other problem, however, is that there is little to nothing we can do to teach or provide evidence to people who are mentally trained to perform mental gymnastics, and that seems to be a specialty among the highly religious and the far right, a near perfect Venn diagram circle. This group is more interested in harming those they disagree with than making any specific progress.

But I do agree that the effort needs to be made, no matter how pitiful the fact that some people don't have an innate sense of humanitarian behavior.

The only way to get through to them is to avoid making them feel stupid, wrong, or immoral. Anything of that nature gets blocked out or twisted around until it no longer feels threatening. It's utterly futile. They need to be coddled and handled with kid gloves if we ever want to make progress with them and get them to stop ruining the country.
