      Oh my. They’re sticking up for his use of diapers.

      Real men are old and incontinent.

      Does a high percentage of people (mostly old men) sexualize children? There has been a lot of allegations of pedophilia in weathy people and organisations, which can afford it, but would lots of regular people indulge in it if was legal? How are people fine with themselves sexualising children and why don’t they just “tuck it in”?

        I don’t have any data but given most mainstream porn websites have a “teen” section, I’m going to guess a lot of people sexualize teenagers. Most of them are likely not teenagers themselves.

        Human sexuality is complicated. But that doesn’t excuse knowingly harming other people.

        It is strange that the right wing seems to oppose teaching about consent.

        There’s probably two separate threads - attraction to physical youth, and attraction to power deltas. I think the latter is more dangerous, and probably more of what you find in shitty rich people. But I’m just guessing, I don’t have any data.

        No kid wants to fuck an old man, and I don’t see how you could legalize brothels or prostitution for minors.

        It’s about power a lot of the time. Wealth gets you anything you want, so anyone with enough money who wants to abuse kids, can. I’d imagine some extremely wealthy idiots are tricked into it for blackmail on rare occasions.

        Organizations, like the church, attract pedophiles because it’s a trusted position of power that puts them alone with vulnerable kids.

        No, I don’t think indulging in child abuse is something a regular person does, even if they have urges to. You’re not a regular person if you’re abusing kids.

        See the top left image in the panel. Goobers were marching with tiki torches shouting “you will not replace us” if I remember correctly

          Yeah, but it isn’t a thing though right? I have like a dozen in my backyard and I don’t want to start getting dirty looks from my neighbours…

            Unless you also display a traitor’s flag or have runic tattoos you’re probably fine

              Fuck that. These conservative Christian shitbags don’t get to steal runes for themselves. They already have plenty of their own symbols. Crosses, swasticas, nambla logos, etc.

              I’d rather carve the runes off of conservative bodies than allow them to turn them into little secret codes for their precious racism and bigotry.

                Fair enough, but reclaiming imagery isn’t always easy; if you’re going to have runic tattoos, it’s probably best to also make a point of displaying your non-nazi politics.

                …fucking Nazis, they just can’t let the rest of us have cool things, they have to rune it

            It’s not. They can’t have my mosquito repelling tiki torches any more than they can have my Punisher or my cowboy boots.

            Those ignorant-ass weirdos can keep their fucking ear diapers though.

    James Donald David Bowman, has requested that he be referred to as JD (formerly J.D.) Vance, his preferred (chosen) name.
    A couple days back, James called Kamala “phony.”

    You can’t make this stuff up. So I didn’t.

    But it is weird.

    (Rewriting my original comment since I think it came off wrong.)

    It’s absolutely cultish behavior. I can’t imagine devoting that much of my life to some random dude that clearly doesn’t care about me and is obviously authoritarian.

    I do want to add though, I strongly dislike this format of “look at all these weird people,” followed by a collage. I see it used all the time by the right when they attack marginalized groups, especially those in the LGBTQ+ community (think this post, but “Not weird, totally normal LGBTQ+ people” with photos of those people who go to family-friendly intended pride parades in kink gear, stereotypically unattractive trans people who don’t pass, etc.)

    I see this sort of thing all the time, and it really contributes to a higher level of divisiveness in conversation than I think is necessary. It leads a lot of people to think all or even the majority of Trump voters look like this, when in reality, most of them are random people in the suburbs that just want lower taxes. (and think the Republicans will actually give it to them instead of just cutting taxes for the rich)
