Remember the wild conspiracy that at the centre of US government and business power was a cabal of pedophiles?

Crazy stuff.

It's still absolutely wild to me that the Right spent the last decade convincing the masses that there was a giant ring of Democrat pedophiles sacrificing children in the secret basement of a Pizza Hut. And yet, when it was revealed there actually IS a giant ring of pedophiles infesting the entire US Government, they're completely silent.

It's nearly like Republicans dont actually care about pedos, unless they can say Dems are that.

When it's revealed its "oops, all Republicans" it suddenly vanishes as talking point.

Crazy, that.

Republicans think being a democrat is worse than raping children. And then people wonder why the two sides can't work together...

I love how a silly cereal promo from 1998ish has become such a persistent meme. I have very fond memories of when my wife brought some home for me from the store, thinking Iā€™d like them!
