I think what amazes me the most is that is seems like every single maga politician is an absolute garbage person. You'd think sheerly by statistics there would have to be one who isn't but apparently that isn't the case.

And that’s basically it!
The thing about rightwing politics/christian politics, is that it is obsessed with women's purity, and who's the most likely to be pure? A literal child. Combine that desire for "purity" with refusal to hold people accountable, and it's no wonder it consistently attracts the most vile pedophiles.
Consequently, all of the homophonic and transphobic "groomer" stuff is actually just an appeal to their pedophile base, because if they can deflect the meaning of the word groomer, if they can water it down enough, then the Matt Gaetzs of the world can get away with it easier.
Fetus=sacred. The mother should die to save one.
Post pubescent child=corrupted by sexuality. Healthcare is commy stuff.
The MAGA platform is inherently hateful, bigoted, selfish and shortsighted. It is lead by greedy amoral narcissists and sociopaths and preaches contempt for law, ethics and personal integrity. All issues are a matter of us vs them, so when one of us does something that gets called out by them, the problem is with them calling one of us out.
Anyone who is still a MAGA supporter has already excused the inexcusable more times than they can count. Those with a moral compass left a long time ago. Sure, there will be people who barely pay attention and who are genuinely ignorant of what the party they support is actually doing. But those people aren't the ones running for office or actively participating in political organizations.
the good ones know that they can't stand out so they keep to themselves
I'm choosing to assume that by "good" you mean "successfully inconspicuous".
In maga's eyes, Trump has made just about all their own criminal and amoral activity acceptable. They think it is now perfectly fine to be a felon, rapist and pedophile, to steal from charities and small businesses, and to use taxpayer's money to line their own pockets. Trump has become their gold standard.
Trump Derangement Syndrome is real, but just like everything with the GOP it's projection. Holding an evil, vile human being such as Trump up as something to aspire to, and expecting others to treat him and others like him as decent, honorable human beings is indeed deranged.
Ok people can we please stop electing narcissists that bang kids
Nah, fuck the kids
It's like always with these right-wingers: The louder they yell, the more you know they're guilty. In particular any time one of them cries "Protect the children", you should just cut their dick off right then and there.
Remember Pizzagate?
It's always projection with conservatives. We keep seeing it over and over. When will we believe them?
Sounds about right. Nasty mfs
He'll get pardoned.
He’ll get pardoned.
By who? His charges are State Level so Trump can't pardon him and Gov. Tim Walz won't pardon him.
Busy week for this guy.
Busiest he'll have for some time, we hope.
Still not a drag performer.
Trump sad it’s not a federal crime and he can’t pardon it 😔
So... Is the house no longer tied or what?
Not surprising. Maga loves Pedophiles
God damn, you can't make this stuff up
I wonder if this falls under projection, like the closeted gay pastor who rails against homosexuals.
how long before the conservatives start doing that idiotic rubbing of their chin and trying to spin a conspiracy theory about how this guy was ackshually a democrat plant because why would he push that trump bill THEN go try to fuck a kid?
Willfully blind to the fact that their party is the party of diddlers, where there almost isnt a day that goes by where some new right wing piece of shit is in the news for kid diddling. Even their own orange idol has admitted to being a pedophile with his weird sexual attraction to his then underage daughter, plus his constant walking in on the teen pagent contestents while dressing/nude. Not to forget the testimonies from then children of what they did to and for him on Epsteins island.
Well, that's one way to get rid of Republicans. Let's see how many we can get like this.
