it’d b 1 thing, the way that stuff is talked about in whispers, if at all, if it werent somehow such a potent wedge w the base.
the plain and simple fact of the matter is that pedos mainly come in 3 flavors- conservatives, cops and clergy. there’s a lonnnng list of accused and convicted sex criminals from tsf1.
not to mention that the asshole himself TESTIFIED IN COURT to gang raping to 13 yo’s w jeffy to escape prosecution.
how did this not sink this whole charade?

i believe it’s because ppl dont like to look evil in the eye, so they turn away and cling to any shred of doubt they can find. then they move on to the next thing.
we shd b unflinching and steadfast and refuse to shut up about it.
