      The Republican cried and said Jesus forgave them so everything is A-OK!

      But have the Democrats admitted to being Satan worshippers who eat children in pizza restaurants yet? Pay attention to that rumor instead!

    Can we, y’know, maybe be more accurate in talking about this? Pedophilia is a disorder by which people are sexually aroused by and attracted to pre-pubescent children who lack the development of secondary sexual characteristics. Pedophiles, on some level, know it’s wrong and hide it, and I believe most don’t want to be that way and many decide not to act on it.

    On the other hand, a 17-year-old is fully sexually mature. This guy isn’t a pedophile, stuck with a mental health issue that he was born with. No, he’s a creep who chooses to be a deeply-shitty person, probably because he gets off on the power differential between himself and a 17-year-old. If power is your kink, there are plenty of more-or-less healthy ways to indulge in power play with a consenting partner. He’s a member of a political party/cult that celebrates hierarchy and using power to hurt people.

    TL;DR: He’s not a pedophile, he’s worse. We should stop smearing pedophiles by confusing them with Republicans.

      Right it is also worth noting that under Minnesota law, if her were simply going to sleep with a 17 year old girl (or even a 16 year old) who was consenting without coercion or payment, that would be legal. The thing that was illegal here was the solicitation, the offering of money to a minor for sex. So he’s not even just a sleezeball that likes to find young girls that will sleep with him, he’s a sleezeball who can’t do that without some sort of incentive, so he offers money instead.

    The anti-abortion stuff makes a lot more sense when you realize that pro-life is just a front, and the real reason they want more babies born is it results in more minors being brought up with questionable parenting that they can prey on.
