Remember when republicans went on and on about Biden being a pedophile? I’m starting to think that they don’t actually care about pedophiles all that much.

Enough of their members will care. The ultra wealthy backers are no doubt above it all, even if they're not the kind of actively participate. But we're heading into serious taboo territory here. Like more taboo than murder in many people's eyes.

This is how I feel as well. He's on record talking about walking around backstage of beauty pageants and also talking about "grabbing them by the pussy" because he was rich.

Everyone knew what he was, it didn't matter, words don't matter to fascists.

They care a lot about deflecting attention from their pedophile.
