17. from my year spent in rural Arizona

Jul 18

helping my nephew with his then pre-teen daughter ( he has PTSD ).

What I can tell you is that there is ( or was ) an epidemic of child sex abuse in rural America.

My grand niece had a group of friends from middle school ( all girls ) and almost ALL of them experienced sex abuse at the age of 12 or younger, from uncles and dads and "friends of he family" etc. Even grandfathers. I guess I have led a sheltered life as I have never encountered such horrors before.

I still can't really process it.

But I think this is the one thing that MAGA can't really get over. They will forgive Trump anything ( rape of an legal age woman ) but not of child rape. Thing is, they have been convinced for DECADES now that Democrats are all child sex abusers and satanic devil worshipers... Many of them thought Trump would expose it all... and now to see that not only will he not expose the Hollywood liberals and Democratic politicians as being part of a huge pedophile ring, but that HE might be part of it ( and maybe one of the main players ) is just breaking what is left of their minds.

Do you think the MAGAs care that Trump was part of the child sex ring operation? Irish_Dem Jul 18 #3

I think they still don't believe it. But if they come to believe it, it's the one thing that they would care about. Scrivener7 Jul 18 #5

The MAGAs don't care about their own children. Irish_Dem Jul 18 #7

Yes. But for some reason child sex abuse crosses their line where child murder does not. Scrivener7 Jul 18 #10

We shall see how this plays out. Irish_Dem Jul 18 #12
