Apologies if I’m misinterpreting you here, but I do not find the distinction between “had sex with minors” and “raped children” to be merely pedantic.
One of those is phrased as a consensual interaction, carrying water for the worst among us by glossing over the inherent violence, manipulation, coercion - the other one tells the truth.
Yep, we got it, pretty clear.
Just say “evidence of Trump raping children”, though. Your “having sex with minors” suuure sounds like the minimizing, deliberate lying (to hide extreme harm) that all the fuckin rags do.
Sounds pretty plausible. And in the past when there was decorum, the too-sincere just got quietly sidelined I imagine, wondering why they never seemed to get anywhere despite their loyalty and fervor. But today, when the party communication strategy is explicitly “carnival barker but a mix of vicious lies and middle school insults”, welp, those zealots not only avoid being dealt with quietly, they get a platform, cuz they already had one, and it’s one that rests on the larger platform where every heinous unsayable thing has already been publicly screeched, and also subsequently forgotten.
I hope she goes nuclear lol, she’s gotta have some good dirt right?
Kind of unrelated, but this was the point where the wool fell off my eyes and I realized his base will tolerate anything from him. Before, a statement like this from any national level politician would be an overnight end to their career, regardless of party, the supposed “Constitutionalists” would go unhinged.
But yeah you’re exactly right, the moment there is a whiff of leftist elements publicly arming and gaining momentum, we will see favorability for* sweeping gun control. The gun control we have today is largely a response to the right getting terrified of the successes the vocally armed Black Panthers. So get armed, quietly. They have no intentions of this being a 4 or even 8 year administration, the evidence is spilling out of everywhere you look.
Not to mention those of us who deeply give a shit, and are in a position to leave, but refuse to abandon the vulnerable people who can’t. Such self-centered, black-and-white thinking from someone eager to dunk on Americans (who are frequently stereotyped as guilty of exactly that).
PBS FTW, been digging their stuff since I was a toddler watching Sesame Street lol. Their PBS Eons channel (on YT…) is great, when I was watching more video content I enjoyed their streaming service for a range of stuff too, can’t remember what it was called now though.
So yeah give em some bucks folks and watch cool stuff, they really need it.
You’re in luck! There is a letter from his mother to him that expresses, among many things lol, extreme shame for him and how he is.
Just search “full text email from hegseth’s mother” and choose your flavor
