Giving me examples of republicans who committed sex crimes does not answer my question. You just gave as many examples going back over a decade as there are current republicans in the senate, and a few more. Bravo. I am 100% positive if I spent time digging I could bring a list just as long as Democratic affiliated people committing similar crimes. I could hypothesize the Epstein maxwell situation alone could bring a larger list than you just brought. So thank you for a list of scumbags, it is completely irrelevant to this topic.

Maybe we can bring a list of how many teachers had sex with students and from now until the end of time say all teachers are sex offenders to win arguments. Okay.

Maybe we can bring a list of how many retail workers steal from their employers, and say all retail workers are thieves to get an up in an argument.

My question is how can you take a single event and use that to demonize an entire group of people. This example being one of the worst crimes you can commit in a civilized world.

I know the answer, and you cannot be a serious person and do this. My larger point is that it is absurd to play childish games like this. I can tell by join dates that most of us are well into adulthood, but still act like fucking children. Demonizing millions of people because of the actions of a handful. I wanted y’all to come to that conclusion yourselves, but I can see where this topic is headed.

I am not sorry if this stings, that kind of immature bullshit says a lot about where some of you are coming from, and your willingness to adapt to different ideas.

Duggar is a Republican.

That was easy

Quote (Black XistenZ @ Dec 11 2021 01:21am)

Not a statistical argument.

The true answer is that Duggar comes from a family which is a living caricature of hardline, bigoted Christian zealots from the boonies, so that it's quite the irony when one of their meticulously drilled little offspring turns out to be a nasty pedo. Liberals can live out their prejudices vicariously by watching the Duggars, so seeing these prejudices confirmed is satisfying to them.

It's a similar concept to when right-wingers jump like rabid dogs at various statements or transgressions from Pelosi or Ilhan Omar, who are embodiments of their prejudices with respect to out of touch coastal elites or migrants/muslims.

Shush. I just like making fun of Wicked. He gets angry easily and isn't very smart.

The question was "how does this implicate any Republican" and the answer is "because the perpetrator is a Republican". I get to be a snarky ass and be totally in the right as he dances around the issue.

Don't be too hard on him. With my experience since coming back he seems to be one of the few conservatives who will actually attempt to have something approaching a good faith discussion.

When the point hits you in the fucking face and you still miss

Quote (LouisLeGros @ Dec 11 2021 02:07am)

I was just going for an easy dunk on helical.

Politics are filled with power hungry psychopaths and democrats have their own share of corrupt pieces of shit, I mean it is the party full of shit libs and I'm 100% on board for locking up any pedos we can find in their ranks.
However, I will contend that even given how shit the dems are they tend to be more responsive to dealing with sexual abusers, pedos, and other criminals within their ranks. Like look at the Cuomos, both given the boot and it wasn't like there wasn't internal party pressure driving their ousting.



I think you'd be getting pretty wooshed if you couldn't see this thread is a counter to the Smollett thread and the entire point is exactly your bolded question.

Quote (NetflixAdaptationWidow @ Dec 11 2021 02:34am)

Disagree. He's said point blank that he won't interact with sources that counteract his personal experience. Not honest IMO.

Qanon accused everyone on the left of it WITHOUT even one case to support the theory.

I made this in part because of the conversation you and I were having in that thread. It became derailed by “republicans are pedophiles”.

I have tried to have honest conversations with every user on this sub, minus the obvious assholes who come here to say dumb shit like this, and almost every single time the argument gets reduced to an elementary school lunch table level conversation.

I personally never tried to make smolette about the democrats, making it very clear it is about how dishonest and agenda driven 9/10 media.
