With the fucking MAGAts and why the fucking pedophile is feeling the heat.
A lot of them, not all of them, were victims of sexual abuse at the hands of older men.
And yes that includes girls and boys.

Im getting the feeling that prominent Democratic politicians are not on the list at all, but donors may be a different story.

Sex abuse has definitely been part of it to some extent.

(353 posts)...things like immigrants being eaten by alligators. Sexual abuse is probably high on the list--especially for those pushing the Epstein conspiracy.
Sadly, sexual abuse in many different forms is probably way more prevalent than we would like to believe. People do not want to talk about it, so it remains a hidden epidemic that expresses itself in society in any number of unhealthy ways.

(72,738 posts)MAGAs who have been SA as kids would be inclined to keep everything a big secret
and let Trump get away with it.
The rest of the GOP would rape and kill as many kids
as it takes to get what they want. They are psychopaths.
The reality is that the billionaires and powers that be are tired of Trump.
They want his power taken away.

(36,409 posts)just not half the population.
Actually more than half since not all who were victims of this voted for Drumpf. So it's all MAGA voters, plus the Harris voters who were victims.
Those numbers aren't supportable.

(28,479 posts)For women, the percentage is 80-90%, unless my life is an anomaly. But I don't think it is.
edhopper
(36,409 posts)Put it at 20% to 25:%.
Which is alarming and way too high, but not 80 to 90

(3,284 posts)To acknowledge that I have been sexually abused. What makes it so difficult is that I remember the acts, even the places, but most of what I felt during these events is still buried in a concrete cask.
I'm guessing there are millions who are experiencing the Epstein stuff in an emotionally charged way, and God forbid more of the specifics come out where a lot of us will recognize that this was me in some capacity too.

(11,887 posts)It's been institutionalized in many organizations. Such as the Catholic Church, most all religions, (wasn't one of Muhammad's wives 9 years old?) children sports activities and schools. It's been commonly accepted and allowed to flourish.
So, not surprised many people were victims and have an emotional reaction of disgust and hate about it.

(25,662 posts)And once I was I the toy section and he came up and grabbed me by my pu$$y. I was uncomfortable but didnt tell my Mom. The next time we went I told her I didnt want to go and after a while of questioning I admitted what happened. I will never forget the look on her face. We ended up going there and my Mother made a big scene in the store and told him off in front of his wife and daughter and we left. She told my Dad at dinner that night and he wanted to go there right away but the store was closed. on the weekend he went and got inthe guys face also. It turns out he had done it to several little girls and it had been reported got the police. This was in the late 60s. We never went there again.

wrong. Took me a long time to tell my Mother. She brushed it off. I cried. Grandmother is long dead. But I still bear the pain in my heart. I was around 5 to six

(16,152 posts)The Trumpers always accuse everyone else of what they are guilty of. In Trump's case, he's accusing anyone he can think of just to get the attention off of him. Asshole.
My favorite QAnon idiot posted on Facebook yesterday that Virginia Giuffre had told investigators that Barack Obama was on Epstein Island frequently and that *he* wanted thirteen year old boys. Obviously, not true. Reported her on Facebook for all the good that will do. Blatant lies shouldn't be allowed to stand, but we are past that point. But you see where this is going.
Anyway, Trumpers and MAGA and all of the religious cultists are hung up sexually and get their kicks off of deviant behavior. That's why they accuse everyone else of doing it.

(166,964 posts)A good percentage of trump supporters are QAnon idiots and Epstein is a big deal to these nutcases.

Its very simple.
👉 Roughly a third of MAGA Republicans qualify as QAnon believers.
👉 QAnon teaches that government, media, and financial elites are Satanists who sex-traffic children.
