Which is why I can't figure out why anybody wanted a pedophile for president

Not surprising - another prominent Republican closeted Child Pornography distributor who hid in plain sight with a wife and children. God help us all.

There's a really good possibility that the wife and children know about it. My sister knew she was marrying a pedophile and my niece always knew he was. She's my nephew now. See the connection? Mental illness is contagious

As was stated, you can bet that anything Trump, MAGA and most Republicans accuse others of is the exact, but more evil and corrupt, thing they are doing. Projection is used to remove the focus of their actions and place blame on others. Trump has been pulling this shit for years and his partners in crime have caught on. They are foolish to think we are fooled.

There is an author on Wordpress who complies a list of various right-wing predators, abusers and the like. These include politicians, LEOs, pastors, coaches etc. Many of those on this list are pedophiles - R.J. May is # 1333 on a current tally of 1389. This deviant behavior seems to be commonplace amongst members of the "party of family values." URL for the list is goppredators.wordpress.com. by the author Casja Lilliehook. Numbers 1 through 1372 have detailed information on the listed individual if you click on the name. I'm guessing the author hasn't had time to upload the info on 1373 through 1389 - looks like they are being added at a furious pace.

Why is it the conservative, Bible thumpers end up being some of the worst perverts?

Something I have said ever since I was in Bible class and asked who Cain married.

I was maybe six years old and I knew who to stay away from.

Some of these Bible stories a short on details, especially things like that, involving women. Lucky the women in the old testament got the mention they did! You were a smart little kid!

I don’t know. I was awfully lonely for a while.

Now I’m glad. But then, not so glad.

It was happening at home. But I thought that was normal.

I still knew who to stay away from out in the world.

To avoid confronting their own guilt, they project their behavior onto others and then shame them for it.

Life is already hard—imagine having to do these kind of mental gymnastics.

Just like tRump is starting to investigate the 2020 Biden election win when he was the one trying to steal it.

If it looks like a pedophile and acts like a pedophile then it's a pedophile

It's never drag queens or trans women in public bathrooms. It's mostly white, straight, cops, clergy, coaches, pastors, youth pastors and rethuglicans. This list has been going since 2018 on The Daily Kos https://www.dailykos.com/users/CajsaLilliehook. 1400 as of yesterday. Tip of the ice berg.

"Always accuse your enemy of doing what you're doing."

Goebbels took this up. The tactic is often ascribed to Karl Marx, though the actual source is unknown.

It's now standard enough to have a name: Accusation in a Mirror.
