Ok, full disclaimer: this is just a rant and I'm aware it sounds conspiracy theories-ish, please indulge me and see this preamble as an acknowledgement that it's likely just a crazy theory.

Anybody else finds that the number of Republican politicians found out to be pedophiles or trafficking children is so mind blowingly higher than the gen pop averages, it just can't be coincidence?

Remember when it was announced back at the beginning of the Hilary vs Trump 1st election that Russia had hacked the emails of both Republicans and Democrats, but only those of Democrats were released systematically, wherever it harmed them most?

Well what if the hack went further, and a bunch of lower level politicians that were found out by Russia as being child traffickers and pedos were then intentionally pushed to run, backed and financed by other blackmailed Republicans, basically building a whole controllable (via blackmail) party, pupetted by russia and full of pedos?

Fuck I hope I'm wrong

This is not a new idea. It was widely suspected this was the case at the time.
