    Let me teach you the concept of “projection”.

    Look at what republicans are screaming that others are doing and need to change. That’s what republicans are doing.

      Projection is a proven work horse for Republicans. That’s why they stick with it. The oligarchs rile up the poorly educated base with bullshit and the dolts run with it. Between Russian psyops manipulation and Republican projection a huge segment of the population gladly votes against their best interests and democracy.

          Morons who think being a contrarian makes them a free thinker.

          I was stuck in a car with a friend of the family who’s a gay conservative. The absolute brain rot he said for that trip still hurt. He hates Metrosexuals for messing with his Gaydar and thinks his boyfriend works at a porn store secretly and will get him fired form his job as an organist for the… Catholic Church. From his childhood stories, it was an incredibly toxic upbringing where they just threw barbs at each other growing up.

      “Hmmm yes, I think I will take on the greatly increased risk of getting murdered by fascists for a slightly increased chance to abuse a child in a public restroom.”

        Why would a pervert pretend to change genders (not talking about trans!) instead of simply joining the clergy, becoming a cop, or running for a conservative public office?

    Everyone: we should ban child marriage.

    GOP: but what if we want to fuck 12 year olds?

    Yeah screw these Republican monsters.

    Yes, because 17 year olds are children. /s. They may be legal minors, and you may even consider them not fully adults, but they’re definitely not the same as an 8 year old.
