TRANS PEOPLE and DRAG QUEENS are BAD for KIDS but ALSO we should be able to MARRY CHILDREN!
-Republicans. All of them!
All school-girls are attracted to gross old men, therefore it's consensual and perfectly ok. And even if it isn't, they're only kids; what do they know? They'll learn to love their husbands in time. And if they don't, who cares? They're only women
I’m at a loss for words. How did this man not get shouted down for saying that out loud and in public?! Those are the thoughts of a predator, which is a position of power.
They’re degenerates.
In the name of honest, good degenerates, I protest these ghouls being lumped in with us. It's perfectly sane to want to have sexual relations with eg. military aircraft, and it is much more natural and socially beneficial than what these despicables imply.
If god didn’t want me to have sex with a C130 he should have made it so damn sexy
When they screamed about the degeneration of Western society it wasn’t a warning it was an announcement. Everything is just projection with these evil cunts
Removed from the delicate snowflake Conservative community lol
Oh, are the /r/Conservative mods here too?
Any conservative board or sub, will immediately be overtaken by fascist snowflakes. I mean who the hell would want to freely mod a conservative sub in their free time? The job description alone requires someone deeply disturbed
I have to disagree! I freely mod a conservative sub in my spare time.
It has definitely not been taken over by fascist snowflakes.
As proof, you are welcome to come and see for yourself: ☆ kbin conservative community ☆
I was just thinking it would be fun to mod a conservative sub but take a conservative instead of a regressive viewpoint. Like: "people who do crimes should be held accountable regardless of their cult size," "investing in infrastructure or climate mitigation is huge ROI so we should do a lot of both," "we need regulations to manifest the invisible hand so the market can price things efficiently."
"Any investment by the government in a private company should be done through the purchase of newly issued shares so that the government has voting rights and can push them to take decisions in favour of the long term interests of the country first and foremost."
It's worth the remembering that these are the "LGBT = groomers" people. However, I posit that this horrid statement belies the truth, which is that they're not trying to protect children, at least not individual children from specific ills. The anti-queer vitriol is, and has always been, grounded in eugenics. this is also why conservatives' eyes glaze over whenever the topic of queer youth suicide rates in restrictive states is broached. Taken with the ever-present conservative fixation on 'ripe' and 'fertile' underage girls, alongside the Great Replacement conspiracy that has become central to their rhetoric, I feel justified in saying OH MY GOD THIS IS FASCISM WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK HOW IS THIS ALLOWED TO CONTINUE.
The tired, old trope of "Every accusation is a confession" tends to be true with conservatives.
Legitimately how do conservatives even try to defend this
"Biden has said worse"
"They didn't mean it like that"
"Your source is corrupt"
"They are lying about their age because they are immigrants"
Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.
The more you get angry, the more they can play victim.
Because the GOP have taken Mitch McConnell's mantra of "if the Democrats are for it, we must speak out against it, no matter what" to ridiculous extremes.
I would make a hyperbolic example about the GOP arguing in favor of murdering puppies and kittens if the Democrats wanted to save them, but they've already argued in favor of forcing 10 year old rape victims to give birth, telling those children they should be happy for the "blessing" they received, murdered schoolchildren being nothing more than the price we pay for a 'free society', and guns being necessary and more important than the safety of our children because they need to shoot prairie dogs. I don't think any hyperbole is necessary.
But this is how we get here. When the default is to be against literally anything the Democrats support, and the answer to the "what if...." questions that follow are to either double down on the extremism and/or just say "ban that too!", this is the only logical outcome.
It's a brain malfunction where cognitive dissonance apparently feels good.
… If we continually restrict the freedom of marriage as a legitimate social option, when we do this to people who are a ripe, fertile age and may have a pregnancy and a baby involved, are we not, in fact, making abortion a much more desirable alternative, when marriage might be the right solution for some freedom-loving couples?” he said.
Gross.
He believes child marriage should be an option, so abortion isn't an option. I would expect this from 4chan, not a government official.
“… If we continually restrict the freedom of marriage as a legitimate social option, when we do this to people who are a ripe, fertile age and may have a pregnancy and a baby involved, are we not, in fact, making abortion a much more desirable alternative, when marriage might be the right solution for some freedom-loving couples?”
It’s either abortion or marriage, it seems. No other alternative. Also, Freedom loving couples? Never knew hippies to be into traditional marriage. Someone please shut this degenerate up for good.
"We need child marriage because it's the only solution to child rape!"
These people aren't even pretending anymore.
Me, who was adopted as a child: "Oh they forgot about adoption again. I'm shocked."
I think the GOP intentionally spews some ridiculous shit like this every so often to make their regular shit look less crazy.
That’s not even a conspiracy theory; It’s literally why reps like MTG, Boeburt, and Ted Cruz exist. Their entire goal is to drag the Overton window farther to the right. They’re in safe seats where they don’t need to worry about reelection. So they’re able to spew batshit crazy far-right propaganda, and it makes the republicans in threatened seats look less crazy. Because if you’re in a threatened seat, you need to appear moderate to catch the swing votes. It allows those threatened republicans to continue to quietly vote along party lines without looking like a hardline republican.
Yep, to move the Overton Window to the right. The left should do this as well. If a group of real leftist put out a political platform it would make Biden look like a Republican.
Stuff like that
Let’s set aside morality, because that’s also wrong. It’s factually incorrect. You want someone to die in childbirth? Knock them up at 16. Early 20s are the actual reproductive prime.
Whoa whoa whoa...he didn't say ripe, fertile and likely to survive child birth... this is pretty consistent with thier priorities.
Yup. Whenever someone tries to justify underage marriage with “most fertile period” or “it’s always been the norm”, you know they’re a pedo. Teenage pregnancies are risky because the pelvis hasn’t fully developed, and the girl is more likely to suffer severe depression as well. Most fertile age is more like 19-32 not 12-18. Also, I live in the UK and marriage records kept by the church from the 1400s show the vast majority of girls married for the first time in their early twenties, not teen years :)
What the actual fuck.
And they accuse us of being groomers
Yo United States, please save your country from these crazies.
I’m voting as hard as I can, but they’re making it as difficult as possible and even some of our leaders advocate for ignoring the votes.
Yet somehow conservatives think they can point at liberals as the “groomers.”
Ew. Ew, ew, ew. Gross in ways I didn't think an elected official could get away with in public.
Someone needs to do a wellness check on his kids, if he has any. Again... Ew.
Remember though, there are bad actors and propagandists here that will try to convince you that both sides are the same.
They’re provably not.
VOTE LIKE LIVES DEPEND ON IT. Because they do.
This is very on-brand.
Republican men can’t attract Republican women. So….
The issue attracting republican women, it's controlled republican girls. By marrying their female children at a young age, they've reduced their ability to escape the indoctrination cycle.
That and they want to be able rape post prepubescent children legally when their men hit midlife crisis age.
Yo what the fuck
There is no good Republican.
And that’s just ONE official that is saying that aloud for the press to hear. Imagine how many of his colleagues, just as sick and twisted as him, are of the same opinion and just not saying anything.
child rape party. party of people who want to rape children, want to ensure that child rapists do not face consequences, and want to ensure that raped children cannot escape the consequences of being raped.
