While yes Republicans have more pedos, the objective of this kind of stuff is only secondarily to kill pedos. The prime objective is to target LGBT people, who have been relentlessly targeted as “groomers” for the past decade or so.
Any time Republicans talk about sexual crimes, you need to remember that they consider being queer a sexual crime and a grown man fucking a teenager to be normal. Interpret everything they say through that lens.
And that was all laid out in project 2025. But people kept insisting that saying they would do that was just fear mongering. Like how saying they'd overturn Roe v Wade was. This shit is what they're planning and people need to finally fucking acknowledge that it's not fear mongering when you're talking about they're literal plan.
Bit too late now innit?
Fun fact: many of the founding fathers of the United states and its constitution viewed the second amendment as a means to allow the people to have a check against their government.
I used to think that there was no way people could form an effective insurgency against the US military, but... [gestures at Ukraine, Iraq, Afghanistan, Afghanistan, Afghanistan, etc]
The boxcars are always full of people who dont understand what "be ungovernable" means and who think that invoking the 2A means that citizens with AR-15s line up in a field against the entire US military.
