How long are we going to ignore this extremely obvious pattern? This seems like a problem indemic to the Republican party. What the fuck is going on?

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 177 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (3 children)

Republicans get off on cruelty and power directed at those who can't fight back. Pedophiles get off on cruelty and power directed at those who can't fight back. Spot the connection.

Pedocon theory

Pedocon theory is a theory like gravity is a theory. Women's subservience is what they believe in: they'll just tell you. Children's obedience is what they believe in: they'll just tell you. Fathers' right to rule their families is what they believe in: they'll just tell you. Pedophilia is the natural outcome of all these ideologies: children are the property of men. MAGA has made a religion of patriarchy. In many cases, this toxic vine is wound deeply through their actual religious practices of fundamentalist Christianity. If that is the theory, pedophilia is the practice. The evidence is there, if you're willing to look.

"If you're willing to look." I've used such phrases throughout this essay. That is because pedocon theory is a self-censoring fact: something so profoundly uncomfortable to think about that you instead choose not to. You sweep the evidence away, add up one bad apple after another and pretend you do not see.

Why would President Joe Biden have done something as terrible as planting child pornography on this man's computer?

EDIT: Ahahahaha.

According to court filings, May allegedly used the screen name “joebidennnn69” on the Kik social media app over five days in spring 2024 to exchange 220 files depicting toddlers and young children in sexual acts.

It is just impossible to parody this.

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 38 points 10 months ago

Toddlers and young children... Wow. Guild Of Pedophiles gonna phile I guess.

[–] nymnympseudonym@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago

toddlers

What a sick fuck

[–] MTK@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago

"toddlers" makes it so much worse... Teen is fucking terrible, pre-teen is horrifying, but toddlers?? I don't know a word to describe how fucked up that is...

Another instance of: "Every accusation is a confession."

[–] alexc@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago (3 children)

If that‘s the case, is he trying to tell us he’s also Trans or Gay, too?

[–] Ilixtze@lemmy.ml 15 points 10 months ago

obviously It would be nice if these lawmakers were only accusing people of being "gay or trans" as there is nothing wrong with that.

It's almost a joke at this point how many MAGA pedophiles there are. Do they realize they're a joke?

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago

They literally have no shame. These are the same people who think DEI is racist against whites

He resigned? That's surprising

Can’t believe he resigned and didn’t just carry on.

Every time a MAGA says protect the children, look at their hard drive first!

[–] MTK@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago

MAGA are essentially having turf wars on pedophilia and assume that anyone with a sexual deviation from the majority must also share their own sexual depravity.

I do wish the media would stop saying child porn. It's abuse and rape, not porn

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 11 points 10 months ago (6 children)

No, they are NOT the same things. Both are terrible, but child porn goes further, it's the filming/photography of abuse and rape.

That's like saying rape and murder are both the same, so let's charge them as the same crime. They aren't, they are both horrible, but let's identify these assholes by the very crime they have committed.
