As much as I hate Republicans ...

[NanceGreggs]

... and everything they've done, and everything they stand for, it has never occurred to me to accuse them of running a child sex-trafficking ring out of the basement of a pizza place that has no basement.

1. and that is just one example of our differences.

[OhNo-Really]

20. People see in others what they see.

Most of us see the goodness & community spirit potential in the world.

And are aware of being bombarded with the heinous mental pictures being foisted on us by Right Wing media and disinformation campaigns like pizzagate.

Only the mind(s) of a child abuser could imagine such crimes.

Not a professional, just an opinion.

However, it doesn’t escape the reality that most high profile offenders lean to the right. Perhaps hate opens the door to perversion?

Something snaps in the minds of these people. The area of the mind that informs the majority of people to not harm another in any manner!

It is truly distressing.

2. See, that's a problem. As Democrats we're kind of hung up on stuff like

truth, accuracy and reality. Another problem might be that if we did accuse them of running a child sex-trafficking ring out of the basement of a pizza place that has no basement, they'd say, so what's the big deal?

3. Ironically

It is also more likely to be true of Republicans than of Democrats.

[Emile]

4. Republicans remind me of Putin telling the people that Ukraine

has a Nazi led government killing the children.

[grumpyduck]

5. The more I see of their behavior

the more I think of spoiled three-year-olds whining and calling other people names.

My Mom did not let me do any of that as far back as i can remember.

6. We didn't have that either...

At least we kids. My parents, all four of them, that's a very different story but WE weren't allowed to do that.

10. +1, much of the same is going on in Russia vs Ukraine. Seems like Russians were the social ...

... rulers Ukraine until Ukraine rejected all things Russian in name of nationality.

People will make crap up to keep their mental world together

7. I don't hate Republicans, but this does demonstrate just how much of a fit they are having

[CrackityJones75]

21. I hate them

I hate them more than I hate most packer fans. And that is a lot!

[ForgedCrank]

8. I don't

hate people. I disagree with them at varying levels, but hate is a cancerous thing that eats away at the person afflicted with it, so I do my best to avoid that. I'm far from perfect, but I do my best.

[LakeArenal]

9. And yet.... Whom would be more likely to be the real perverts...?

Rhetorical question.

As in……He who smelt it dealt it. I

11. It's never too late to start (nt)

[PurgedVoter]

12. I suppose it may be too late to investigate Papa Johns

Seriously, John Schnatter decided to call his place Papa Johns. Someone check for basements.

[11 Bravo]

13. Ahh, but Nance ... you're sane. And therein lies the difference.

[Leith]

16. And mature and responsible

Remember the movie Adventures in Babysitting: when Elizabeth Shue's character says that she won't make a scene in the restaurant because she's better than that, one of the kids says "I'm not!" and throws the table over the cheating boyfriend and his date.

I want to be like that kid.

[KS Toronado]

14. Truth be known

Matt Gaetz is running a child sex-trafficking ring out of his basement.
Rs have projection down to an art form.

[PatrickforB]

15. And yet, levelling this accusation at Republicans holds more water than it ever

did for Clinton.

The GOP ranks seem to be full of pedophiles and sex traffickers.

[multigraincracker]

18. Critical Thinking matters.

I'd bet they try to ban the teaching of that too.

[Joinfortmill]

19. Think projection.
