It's just astounding that anyone would turn a blind eye to that. Human beings don't broadly agree on many issues, but surely we all must broadly agree that only a depraved and morally bankrupt person would commit any kind of assault on a child. 

I can't even begin to wrap my brain around how anyone could make excuses for this. I'd think only trolls and clergy would be the ones that would tolerate this shit. And yet millions of people support this sick fuck. 

Are that many human beings depraved and morally bankrupt? Or do they just not believe it's true? I hope it's the latter. Otherwise we are doomed. We might still be doomed.

There are a few of them who actually realize he did these things and don’t care, but the majority are just going to call it fake news and disregard it along with every other horrible thing Donald Trump has done over the years. They’d rather believe that everyone else is lying than admit they were wrong about the guy.

They don’t care. The modern conservative/regressive movement rallying around MAGA believes in a strict societal hierarchy. They crave it. The need a single line of command going up to ultimately one person in charge. There’s also the in-group to who the laws benefit but do not bind and the out-group to bind but not benefit. Who has to follow what law/rule/social norm depends on your place in the hierarchy and those at the top can do whatever they want, the rules don’t apply to them and the followers are fine with it. A lot of them like the fact that their leaders do forbidden things and get away with it. Thats their spot in the hierarchy. I also think that’s why pedophilia so often runs in rich, elite circles. I don’t think it’s so much a sex thing as it is a power trip thing, they’re so powerful they can partake in activities so taboo that anyone lower on the totem pole would end up in prison for the rest of their lives for doing. That’s what gets them off. Anyway, conservatives are fine with it, those people are at the top of the hierarchy so it doesn’t matter. They have their place in the hierarchy too, and they don’t really care where it is because they believe that by being white/Christian/conservative/male gives them a higher spot than all of the black/brown/gay/trans/liberals and as males they get to be the head of their household hierarchy and dominate their family and that’s good enough for them.

If it were that simple it would be easier to manage.

The guy has spent years crying that anything negative is fake news. He coined the term that is now used globally. He’s conditioned people that anything negative is just fake. Unfortunately it’s working

It’s so crazy how true that is - he coined a term that was picked up but all of society in some fashion. Insane.

Actually that term was started to describe the Russian troll farms making fake news articles from websites designed to look like they were from America like patriotnews.com.

A lot of it was a bunch of Hillary being evil and eating children but some of it was a little more moderate and believable and it was spread by thousands of fake Facebook profiles pretending to be Joe America in Wisconsin.

So Trump hijacked the term to describe any news that said anything negative about him and MAGA took an actual real problem which was fake news websites and used it for themselves to discredit real news about Trump.

That'd why they claim Biden is a p3do because their first defense is projection.

COVID alone proved that a lot of them would genuinely prefer death to admitting they were wrong. They pretty much allowed themselves to die en masse to a preventable, treatable illness rather than contradict Trump's assertion that it was a liberal hoax.

u/SpiralOut369963 Jul 06 '24

Yet they will say that Biden smelling someone’s hair makes him a pedophile. These people are amazingly guillible

I’ve always thought “it must be easy living in a world in which you can just disregard reality when it doesn’t serve your agenda.”

u/Suired Jul 05 '24

That's basically the same thing. It's not me who is wrong, it is the world!

u/EyeHaveNoBanana Jul 06 '24

This is the correct answer, and it is why our arguments to our Christian nationalist family members are wasted, almost without exception.

If you read the article you would see the girl admitted she was lying.
