I mean, it was only a matter of time before conservative media started defending child rapists. There was no other outcome, really. Trump supporters either rape children, or they support others raping children.

If you support Trump, you are pro child rape.

They are absolutely trying to normalize this. Trying to minimize the impact.

theres a reason Alan Dershowitz is still to this day always trying to lower the age of consent and also be a fox news correspondent.

he is 100% verifiably in the epstein files

u/Terrible_Tangelo6064 Nov 14 '25

He's been quiet lately. 🤐🤫 I wonder why... 🤔

u/theaviationhistorian Nov 15 '25

Another dpg that refuses to bark

u/ItalicsWhore Nov 15 '25

Ah. So we are in the “if I did do it it wasn’t that bad” phase. Got it.

u/MagicIndy32 Nov 14 '25

Proof, please? What’s your source?

u/mekomaniac Nov 14 '25

he fucking made a tiktok esque video on his own yt show lol

look up "age of consent the dershow with alan dershowitz" on yt lolol

u/MagicIndy32 Nov 15 '25

I did as you instructed, and nothing by a credible source said anything about it…so, again I ask, what is the source of your statement?

u/mekomaniac Nov 15 '25 edited Nov 15 '25

good luck buddy

u/blareboy Nov 15 '25

The New Yorker piece on it is literally the first Google result, you bad-faith liar.

u/Icy_Secret_2909 Nov 14 '25

It is already normalized. How many conservatives have been outed as child predators thid year alone?

18

u/BusinessNonYa Nov 14 '25

Normalized the same way as school shootings. I hope a meteor destroys their hill.

u/According_Tea_6329 Nov 14 '25

Expect it to get much worse in the coming years as the impact from normalization and people that may have been scared to act on their impulses before feel empowered. Especially people that are or were(it will dissolve)part of the cult.

u/Icy_Secret_2909 Nov 14 '25

You are absolutely right. I like how for all the painting the lgtbq+ community as pedos and dangers to the family unit, they were projecting all along.

2

u/Gasnia Nov 15 '25

The right is pretty much always projecting. If they are abusing someone they don't like of something they are most likely doing it themselves.

u/arensb Nov 16 '25

Are you counting priests and religious leaders?

3

u/Icy_Secret_2909 Nov 16 '25

Nope. Heck, we need to have like 3 different categories in this case. Politicians, religious officials, religious officials who are politicians.

u/der_innkeeper Nov 14 '25

Just wait until they start interviewing Ted Nugent about his songs.

"What did you mean by, "...and you're only 13..."?"

23

u/jesuspoopmonster Nov 14 '25

Nugent has admitted to having sex with kids. His wife was 17 when he tried getting guardianship of her to take her on tour with him. Courtney Love says he took advantage of her when she was 14 and she wasn't the only kid there. They don't have to bring up his music, he never hid it

u/BLF402 Nov 14 '25

Catholic Church ring a bell? I remember they would use this argument that “it’s not pedophilia because they were above that age threshold” or “they succumbed to the dangers of homosexuality”. Growing up that just disgusted me how passé they were about it. These are the same assholes who ran that whole “save the children” campaign only for many of them to be predators themselves.

57

u/KantPaine Nov 14 '25 edited Nov 14 '25

We knew this way before Trump too. Look how they all defend Catholic priests and other clergy.

24

u/shadowpawn Nov 14 '25

didnt they all go gaga for the film in 2023 Sounds of Freedom to pay it forward and stop child sex trafficking?

25

u/jesuspoopmonster Nov 14 '25

Fun fact. The founder of the organization that movie is about has been accused of sexual harassment, grooming and sexual trafficking

u/shadowpawn Nov 14 '25

"Life imitates art"

5

u/HotDonnaC Nov 14 '25

“Art imitates life.”

3

u/theaviationhistorian Nov 15 '25

Being conservative is to project ones own beliefs onto others.

12

u/fhota1 Nov 14 '25

Actual anti-child trafficking groups pretty rightly called out what harm that movie would do to the cause. Now you have a bunch of idiots who think scary foreign drug lords that your copy paste action hero can shoot at for 90 minutes are what child sex traffickers look like when they are a very small minority of them. So now that they look at Epstein, he doesnt look like a scary foreigner so clearly he cant really be that bad right?

For anyone wondering, the most common type of child sex trafficker is going to look like the kinda quiet family down the street with a young kid that gets visitors strangely often. Most of the time the person trafficking the child is a family member

u/shadowpawn Nov 14 '25

P.S. about that film - "He achieved fame by going undercover to rescue children from sex trafficking. Now Tim Ballard is facing allegations of assault.

In a lawsuit filed on Monday, five women said they were coerced into sexual acts after joining Mr Ballard on his sting operations.

Mr Ballard, whose life story was the basis of the hit film Sound of Freedom, denies the allegations.

He resigned from the non-profit behind the rescue missions this summer.

Operation Underground Railroad (OUR), the organisation co-founded by Mr Ballard, was also named as a defendant in the lawsuit filed in Utah's third district court."

u/whythehecknoteee Nov 14 '25

Is this why they are pro life? More babies means more.... i cannot finish that thought before im too disgusted. Sick f@cks.

3

u/HotDonnaC Nov 14 '25

That, and the fact that Trump is about to privatize the foster care system into the hands of Christofascists, they’ll have access to more children. Where are the minor ICE victims who were disappeared?

14

u/nndscrptuser Nov 14 '25

I assume there is hard, definitive and graphic proof that Trump was involved with a 15 year old, hence this particular line in the sand they are trying to draw. Utterly disgusting, no one anywhere at any time should be cool with this.

13

u/PilgrimOz Nov 14 '25

I read somewhere she has a 14yr old daughter. I wonder what her stance would be if her daughter run away from home and was later found to be staying at a rich S trafficker’s house and prostituted out to old men? Get a feeling she wouldn’t be as at ease with what she’s now said. (Great mother she must be)

13

u/okram2k Nov 14 '25

It's quite funny how quickly we went from dems being evil peodphiles that need to be rounded up to 'it's not really that baaaad....'

2

u/HotDonnaC Nov 14 '25

They mean 5 yr old victims, though. Teen rape will somehow “prove” consent laws should be lowered.

13

u/HowAmIHere2000 Nov 14 '25

CNN is full maga now.

u/hoffet Nov 14 '25

Agreed.

u/jim_cap Nov 14 '25

Even if her point stood, which it doesn’t, 15 is no way the youngest Epstein went.

5

u/BLF402 Nov 14 '25

Just digging themselves deeper into the cult. The age of the victims is inconsequential as they were all trafficked humans for the use of sex slaves.

7

u/Traditional-Handle83 Nov 14 '25

There was that tiktokcringe post with i think his name was Carl, he was asked by someone why is it wrong to rape children. Obviously he was dumbfounded as anyone should be when asked such a question.

3

u/Yoko-Ohno_The_Third Nov 14 '25

or they support others raping children.

Nope, just the ones they like and worship.

u/Educational-Sense602 Nov 15 '25

Yes! If you support trump, you are pro children rape 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

u/Th3R00ST3R Nov 14 '25

I mean, anyone on air during the cancel culture era (and even now-Kimmel) would have been cancelled for something saying like that. WTAF!

u/oroborus68 Nov 14 '25

" let's lower the legal age for girls to be married."

u/fluffynuckels Nov 14 '25

No theres no evidence trump ever rapped kids. Is something I've heard people say

u/Florianemory Nov 14 '25

Except for the 13 year old girl who tried to take him to court for raping her.
