Republicans: Drag queens and teachers are grooming our kids!

Also Republicans: We want to be able to marry children.

See, the problem is that drag queens and teachers are grooming the kids... into realizing that they shouldn't have to marry their uncles when they're 12 years old.

And Republicans wonder why people vote Democrat.

That stopped a long time ago and even then it was still only the aristocratic families that had kept up such practices.

There's groomers on both sides of the political isle, it's so funny to me when people act like it's only the other side that has those skeletons in their closet. That's why this problem doesn't get fixed, no one wants to admit their side might be harboring trash humans like that dlso they give them a pass and look the other way

It's overwhelmingly a problem for Republicans. You can't deny that.

This list is up to 32 parts. I've yet to find a comparable list for any other American political party.

Stop the both sides stuff. You know it's bull shit, the two sides are not the same. One is much worse than the other they are not comparable. Don't like it? Get the traitors to stop voting for people like Matt Gaetz.

What's funny is when you think about it, you can marry someone you aren't allowed to adopt :/

All those people are trash, I'm not denying it's a problem in the republican party but a lot of democrats seem to think it doesn't happen in their side of the isle

No you're wrong no one is saying it doesn't happen, stop making up arguments you wish to speak against. You are making an argument that only serves to protect one party by going "see they are just as bad as us right?" No they're not just as bad. Stop trying to use the both sides defense.

Or you seem to think it's more prevalent? You are denying it's a problem it's majority a problem for the Republicans.

And regardless of which side is doing more actual grooming, using "grooming" as a dog whistle for "person we consider undesirable being allowed to function normally in society" is overwhelmingly a GOP thing, and it's that particular use of the term that's being discussed here (and which I facetiously referenced). It's blatant fearmongering with zero basis in reality, appealing to a voter base that hates the existence of drag queens and the like and is therefore very easy to convince that such people are evil and must be prevented from appearing publicly in any way.

See, I don't even think they are different sides, they work together to divide and manipulate the people. I think, for the most part, the average person for either party are good people just voting for what they think is best/the lesser of 2 evils while the politicians for either party are terrible. Why do we need such strong political divide? Both parties work together to expand their power. The problem isn't either party, the problem is the 2 party system that is easily exploitable. Stop coming at me with bOtH sIdEs shit as if I even buy into the lie they are different sides

If you don't "buy into it" why do you consistently make comments about "both sides?" Still waiting for your 32 page list of Democratic politicians being sex offenders.

The parties are the same shit, they do all the same shit, they work together to screw the common man all the time. If everyone else views them as separate entities I have to put it in a way they'll understand. They want you to think they are 2 sides so they can divide the country and it works pretty well given this topic

You ask for 32 democrats but when you view it as the parties vs the people instead of republican vs Democrat then it really doesn't matter. The politicians are the problem regardless of which "side" they are on.

we get it muscles you vote green party no one cares

I asked for 32 pages of Democrats. You started this rhetoric by saying "both sides" but now want to act like you don't buy into that. Why do you use certain terminology and then get upset people ask you to defend your stance?

Maybe YOU want to believe they're all the same when patently they aren't.

YOU'RE THE ONE DOING THE BOTH SIDES DEFENSE!

You're trying to act morally superior "hahaha I'm so awesome I see both sides as bad" and yet you only use the both sides defense for defending the bad side.

I'm not coming at you with "both sides" I'm telling you to stop using that defense because it isn't right. Stop crying, stop trying to argue the two sides are the same when they aren't, stop projecting and claim I'm doing the thing that you are doing.

the point isn't that both sides do it, but that in this example only one side is actively enabling it

They are the same thing, they fight and pick sides about issues to divide the country but it's all a show. Why do you think neither "side" ever does anything that's actually good for the people? When's the last time both parties came together and actually got something good done? Republicans are controlled opposition pretty much, or I guess both are controlled opposition to each other, it's all a show.

Maybe when the conservative party stops trying to be saturday morning cartoon levels of evil. The two sides are not the same.

I don't think anyone disagrees that the two-party system carries plenty of problems, but do you really think you're providing any sort of insightful contribution to a topic about Republicans shooting down efforts to make it illegal to marry children by bringing it up here? Read the goddamn room, dude. Not every political topic is an appropriate place for you to wave around your enlightened centrism like a high school sophomore that just took his first poli-sci class and believes he has the answer to every political problem. Most of the time, you just look utterly clueless.

Jesus fucking christ... So you guys are just like this today? Dude barely said anything and he's got half a dozen people losing their minds? Rough Mondays everyone? It's not PotD's fault.

Calm down. Lord.

So is it both sides or not both sides?

Can you provide a source for 32 pages of Democratic politician sex offenders or not?

This is from 2019. It's made by a gamefaqs user and isn't sourced but it is a same things both sides type of list

This list actually gets referenced elsewhere. Like, I saw somebody reference it on Reddit once.

Not sure about the accuracy of the claims but it does list republican and democratic persons

This is so annoying and it's like you're purposely obfuscating what we're asking about.

No one is saying there are 0 Democratic leaning people that commit sex crimes. But to say it's "equally both sides" is a statistical farce and is easily disproven.

We're also talking about politicians, not people like Subway spokesperson Jared Fogel. Give me a break.
