No, no, no. It's not going to be used on actual pedophiles, it's going to be used on shit like people who dare to teach teens about birth control. This is Project 2025.

It is that time...

There's only one thing the gop loves more than LOUD projection and that's abusing kids. The party of the grand ol' pedophiles

Even though I'm a European, I don't find this funny at all. These two dots are too close not to be connected:

  • All those woke weirdos and democrats are secretly pedofiles that want no good for this country!
  • Let's sentence pedofiles to capital punishment.
[–] L3mmyW1nks 4 points 6 hours ago

Yeah probably one of the shortest ways to use capital punishment on dissidents.

Fr.

If they're using this on by the book definition. Then they are executing people for a mental disorder they have no control over having.

It's just a few steps to expanding that to other things they want to call disorders, like being gay or trans.

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.

I have said it before and I will say it again.

I oppose the death penalty because I don't want the government to have the power to execute people.

Any other reason you have for or against, I don't fucking care. If it's a power you wouldn't trust in the hands of your political rivals, you shouldn't trust it in the hands of the people you support.

We are indeed past the point where material scarcity is a thing. Feel like keeping people alive in American prison is worse than killing them so? If we wanna "punish" them we shouldn't be killing em. With how often pedos get diddled themselves in prison once word spreads of their crimes, seems like karma.

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.

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]

These are called desire paths.

[–] BroccoLemuria 5 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I had to go back to the post of public garden to verify it was you! It was a new experience to find this cross-post joke, cheers for that

[–] Tikiporch 2 points 12 hours ago

Hah! I didn't think anyone would notice.Thanks!

Unfortunately Republicans define pedos as LGBTQ+ people according to Project 2025. So this is yet another Nazi bill.

[–] ZILtoid1991 1 points 6 hours ago

I remember shortly after I voted Fidesz, I had to learn the hard way that the right doesn't actually care about protecting children, but persecuting gays. Hungary had (and still has) an epidemic of teen girls being groomed en masse by older and rich men. However, Fidesz claims those girls are "being saved from poverty", while for the same "crime" (unfortunately not legally, as our AoC is 14), gay people get called out, and unfortunately their whole community get shunned for daring to request that kids should be taught sex ed.

Kill all the pedo priests

[–] [email protected] 44 points 21 hours ago

We've done this before.

Last time we used the word terrorist.

It's a word whose definition will change to suit whoever it has been decided needs to be dealt with.

It makes extrajudicial assassination of US Citizens legal for the government to do. Fun times.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 22 hours ago

Don't worry all the Republican pedophiles are exempt. Trump, gaetz, probably musk and to many I can recall

[–] jaggedrobotpubes 16 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I care a lot more about whether somebody does fuck kids, than whether they want to and then don't because they know it isn't cool.

"Pedophile" is the word for "wants to", not "does".

[–] [email protected] 8 points 20 hours ago

True, although usually when people talk about punishing pedophiles they mean punishing people who have done terrible things to children (and in this case, Republicans are talking about neither, the main objective of this is to target queer people)

[–] alexc 9 points 19 hours ago

This will only take place in states that haven’t lowered the age of consent to nine. You know, the blue ones.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

When Daily Mail reports on what Republicans say, does the combination of lying about lies make it the truth?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 21 hours ago

A new black hole forms. Eventually all existence will be consumed.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

I at least hope they mean child predators, and not pedophiles.

Edit: a secure connection isn't possible with daily mail, apparently.

Edit2: IA to the rescue. Life to death for CP charges. Which is wildly different then being a pedo lol.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 18 hours ago

Exactly. It’s not to hold themselves accountable. It’s a sword to be wielded toward people they deem the true pedophiles.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Do we know if Brian Thompson was a pedophile? 👀🍿

(Free Luigi!)

[–] motor_spirit 10 points 21 hours ago

He was of the pedo class and had the pedo spirit 💜

[–] [email protected] 3 points 21 hours ago

Catholic Church is trembling in fear.

Great, kill pedophiles. But like, your friends that are pedophiles too. Your next birthday party is gonna be pretty fucking lonely.
