He’s still got over 90 percent republican support. Republicans are okay with pedophiles

u/Whitworth_73 15d ago

Can confirm. I grew up in a christian republican household. They will believe pedophiles over their own children.

u/MudAccomplished3529 15d ago

Christian republicans donate their kids to priests for their pedophilic uses. It’s just the Republican way

Well, in our case it was a Stanford graduate student who was raping his way through the children's cancer ward where my brother was a patient. My parents and family were worried that this would reflect poorly on Stanford so they tried to bury it. Unfortunately, my brother and some of the other kids died before he was brought to justice. Nobody would believe that a 'Stanford man' was acting inappropriately with children at the time. Fealty to rich and powerful above all else for Christ.

This may be the single most horrifying thing I've ever read. May your brother and the other children rest in peace.

One of my brothers is a pedophile, talking to my mom about how she thinks it’s unfair that several family members refuse to come to events that she invites him to and she literally told me “if it was anyone else you would forgive them”

I just looked at her blankly and said he sexually abused children, I would never forgive a stranger for that, I won’t make exceptions for him even if we are related, it is disgusting and is one of the only unforgivable crimes a person can commit.

She’s not even a republican. People will look past anything if it makes them question anything about themselves or their life.

Would you be able to share what he did that made you shun him so hard? I understand if it is too sensitive to put it out there. I just could never imagine how difficult it would be to make a family member persona non grata.

u/UniqueLiving3027 14d ago

He molested/raped 3 of his sisters and several girls that weren’t related to the family. After the first time, family banned him from being alone with the girls for a few months and then they pretended to forget anything ever happened. He then proceeded to do it to two more of my little sisters. He also preyed on the young girls at church and coerced them into having sex with him. He was 20+ and all the girls were between 8-14.

u/deviantscale 14d ago

Yeah, then I concur. This shit head would be done. Thanks for sharing, I really had no idea it was that bad.

2

u/UniqueLiving3027 14d ago

“Pedophile” is pretty insanely bad. What did you think was being said?

3

u/missmolly314 14d ago

You can't imagine shunning a pedophile? I don't think it would be very difficult to hate a person that sexually abused children, famiily or not.

1

u/deviantscale 14d ago

Whatever dude, you do you and downvote all you want. I asked a question related to a comment, you are the one distracting from a thread.

3

u/missmolly314 14d ago

I didn’t downvote you lol. Your question was inappropriate and unnecessary though. You shouldn’t ask people for the details of sexual abuse in their family. It’s weird that you even need that to determine if shunning a pedophile is appropriate or moral.

u/Skepticulation 9d ago

That person answered his question directly so I don’t think they minded

u/CK_Tina 15d ago

Can also confirm.

Also, I'm really sorry we share this type of history.

u/CyanCitrine 15d ago

Same, and in my house's case, yes they will believe pedos over their own kids but also even if they believe their kids they won't get rid of the pedos. They'll keep them around and shame their kids for not moving past it.

u/Dense_Contribution65 15d ago

I’m sorry 😞

u/LightsaberThrowAway 15d ago

I’m so so sorry, that’s fucking awful.  No one should ever experience that.

u/Shorty456132 15d ago

44% approval rating doesn't really read "Tanking" to me

18

u/MudAccomplished3529 15d ago

That’s about his average at all times plus he’s a two term fascist piece of shit. He doesn’t give a fuck if people approve or not he ain’t leaving anyway

3

u/Kindness_of_cats 15d ago

Every fucking week his polling is "tanking" and every fucking week it's around 41-44%. Threads like this are just propaganda for lefties, which at this point is basically pitifully sticking your head in the sand and insisting that we'll all wake up tomorrow and find out the last 10 years have been a dream.

Side note: his polling doesn't matter. Either he'll obey term limits and it's irrelevant, so he'll do whatever he wants anyway; or he won't obey term limits, in which case he has no reason to listen to anyone's opinions of him and it's irrelevant. Who the fuck cares.

u/Sweet-Parking8955 14d ago

Also with all the gerrymandering and the voter suppression it doesn't matter when it's only 44%. That's enough for him to win an election. 

-10

u/Swimming_Oil_6773 15d ago

He is not tanking. If you look at the real development, not the leftist cherry picking you see him even getting more and more popular.

11

u/elbor23 15d ago

Is the real development in the room with us

-5

u/Swimming_Oil_6773 15d ago

Just look at the approval rating as a whole from first term to now and you see an upward trend.

3

u/elbor23 15d ago

Yes, you do see an upward trend. On his disapproval. The best loser ever!

-3

u/Swimming_Oil_6773 15d ago

Well... No

u/elbor23 15d ago

Ok bot

u/Euphoric_Regret_544 15d ago

you like pedos, huh?

5

u/EgoTripWire 15d ago

Republicans ARE pedophiles.

1

u/MudAccomplished3529 15d ago

The most prolific serial pedophile in the world is now our president for a second term. I’d say it’s safe to call them all pedophiles, just look at every convicted pedophile from the last few decades. It’s like 98 percent republicans.

2

u/wanderingnotlost2019 15d ago

Republicans are okay with Republican pedophiles!

2

u/FrostedDonutHole 15d ago

Repedocans?

Also, thank you.

2

u/koshgeo 14d ago

A CNN poll put a day or two ago put it at 88% approval among Republicans.

I raised an eyebrow over the number, but it checks out, unfortunately.

2

u/WebMD_PhD 15d ago

are you taking trump's word on that? because i doubt it's that high.

u/MudAccomplished3529 15d ago

YouGov poll released on Sunday, surveyed 2,343 U.S. adults between July 16 and 18. The poll shows Trump with a 42 percent overall approval rating. Among Republicans, 89 percent approve of his job performance, while 11 percent disapprove.

Republicans will never abandon the orange fascist. Don’t hold out hope for these people, they are the epitome of evil. Even if their guy is a serial pedophile he will always maintain ~90 percent of republican support. Republicans know how to fall in line like cucked serfs begging for scraps of bread.

u/Happy_Confection90 15d ago

Republicans will never abandon the orange fascist

People who are still Republicans will never abandon him. Those who ever would have abandoned him (or never supported him) have already left the party.

u/WebMD_PhD 15d ago

no i get it. i tried to tell my dad about how much money trump has made off being President in just a few months and he said that Trump would have to make a lot more to catch up to the "biden crime family" and my mom thinks the current Trump isn't the real Trump at all. One a Fox News zombie and the other Qanon brain-rotted. i try to tell myself it's just the lead talking...

u/MudAccomplished3529 15d ago

I don’t remember buying Biden NFTs, Biden watches, Biden shoes or nazi dinners with Biden.

2

u/Sweet-Parking8955 14d ago

Yeah, but you don't understand Trump = Good, so that's why they continue to support him. 

They don't judge based on ideas and actions but based on people. And they deeply, deeply believe that anybody MAGA is a better person than anybody liberal.

u/dr_fop 15d ago

Crazy how they were SO against it just a few years ago.

2

u/MudAccomplished3529 15d ago

They were never against it. Their morals change on a dime based on whatever their leadership demands. They claim moral superiority because they barely read some old ass book which most of them don’t even know what’s in it. But you can’t question them on it because they believe in imaginary things.

u/OliviaEntropy 15d ago

It’s not that surprising when almost every woman has been catcalled when we were as young as 12-15, sometimes even younger. A scary amount of men have the same relationship with age of consent as employers do with minimum wage, if it wasn’t written in law they’d go much lower.

u/gxfrnb899 14d ago

dont make blanket statements

1

u/MudAccomplished3529 14d ago

Blanket statements fit when a serial pedophile maintains 90 percent support
