My point is that there is a difference which is important. People are acting like the two are somehow the same.
People do the same with rape, acting like all rape is equally bad. When clearly having sex with your drunk wife is not as bad as abducting and violently restraining a stranger to rape them.
All rape is bad, and that includes all sex with minors. But there are certainly still distinctions to be made.
So you think the legal punishment for an adult having sex with a 5 year old should be the equivalent to them having sex with a 15 year old? There’s no difference?
Luckily, the laws in all states disagree with you.
Making up quotes now?
Being sexually attracted to 17 year old females makes someone a reprehensible creep?
Most straight men probably fit into that.
Why? It’s different both legally and clinically. Almost all states increase the severity of the crime for younger victims, usually choosing the delineating age around 12 or 13.
Anti-capitalists working on socialist reforms are right-wing, and you oppose them?
You guys are truly destined for irrelevancy. 🤣
Now that they brought him back, there’s going to be another wave of revenue loss. A political pincer movement lol.
Which progressive’s deaths did he celebrate?
Fascism rejects democracy. Like you, apparently.
Absolutely no self-awareness.
You’re deranged. From no perspective was it a good day, except for actual Nazis who want people radicalized.

He did not want him bailed about because he supported him. And he explicitly said what he did was not right. https://x.com/JasonSCampbell/status/1587127536122732544
He wanted to bail him out because he believed he was a left-wing lunatic. He wanted people to interview and get information form him, especially during that time when many conspiracy theories were being spread.
Words are only as good as their definitions. If he’s operating with different definitions, then the meaning is, in fact, not clear.
Kirk represents the politics of almost half the USA. He wasn’t even radical. This group cleanly won a democratic election and will, especially after today, probably sweep 2026.
If you think you’re justified killing a democratic majority/plurality, you should entertain the idea that you’re actually not the good anti-fascists you think you are.

If you think things are going to be better after today, you’re delusional.
In the context of the quote, he clearly didn’t know what empathy means. He said he prefers the term “sympathy” (likely not really knowing the distinct definition of either one).
He was actually supporting empathy in the full context, saying that Democrats were running astray from Bill Clinton’s messaging utilizing empathy/sympathy.

Can someone explain how Trump screwed over farmers? I work with farmers in the northern US, and it was a shorter season for some, but I don’t know how Trump hurt them. Is this strictly because you think tariffs are hurting them, or is it something I missed?
I agree.
But being attracted to someone is distinct from having a sexual relationship with them. I can be attracted to a married person, a mentally ill or incompetent person, or even a minor. It’s not necessarily wrong unless I engage with them.
