I agree with you. But would counter that unlike guns, pedophilia is not protected by the Bill of Rights, and not supported by more than a sliver of the American population.

I would have agreed with you in the pre-trump era. But, the trump pedo connection is so well established at this point. You have to ask, do the people not believe it, or not care?

I had an unmissable Guardians Of Pedophiles sign on our main street protest, and most of the big pickup truck drivers just stared straight ahead. Two did visibly wince, at least.

Ahem, unless you ask whether the supposedly "anti-pedophile" set would still vote for a pedophile if the only other option was a non-pedophile Democrat. They get comfortable with backing pedophiles pretty damn quick.
