I thought we all agreed that Pedophilia would be used as an umbrella term that covers Pedophiles, Hebephiles, Ephebophiles, and Teleiophiles. MAGA is out there splitting hairs about the definition. I know the difference, don’t want to debate it. They are children, and that’s all that really matters.
Fascism is characterized by ultranationalism and the use of the mythical past narrative. Education goes on the chopping block and conspiracy theories thrive. Asserting a “natural” hierarchy and disassembling the social safety net. Scapegoating the non-traditional to maintain law and order.
I remember being disappointed that all the people posting about “MTG” weren’t talking about Magic The Gathering. Then I disliked the person. She was hateful and just awful. You could fill a book with all her unforgivable words and actions. Now she's learning the effects of the toxic rhetoric.
When bigotry sits unchallenged, it grows. It multiplies like cancer cells in the body of any nation. United States of America has been sick for some time now. Maybe she’s already gone, being propped up “Weekend at Bernie’s”style.
I don’t care much about Bubbagate. I would say let’s not jump to “he’s the first lgbt+ president” though. I know it’s to rile up the MAGA base, but I’m not a fan of using our rainbow friends as canon fodder. Plus, it was probably the horse.
I’m not the “enemy of my enemy is my friend” type. Trust is earned by actions, not words. I will not stifle growth. If they are wanting redemption, the road is long and hard. Only time will tell.
