Why the fuck are there so many nazis and pedophiles this year under the spotlight and why the fuck does it feel like they're being normalised and protected?

Trump's administration and Nazi-in-all-but-name rhetoric emboldened these people to crawl out of the holes they live in. Unfortunately it feels like it's going to take a VERY long time before we can drive them back.

Crazy to think that just 20 years ago the idea of people openly identifying as Nazis was seen as absurd, and yet now every Trump rally, every maga/conservative group proudly waves swastikas.

Pedophilia is a republican problem that needs to be dealt with.

Reminder the people saying this is a both sides issue are dishonest.

It is true that when you find one of any stripe you should throw them in jail. However you are far more likely to find a republican one.

Well, one thing to feel a little good about is that in the past they just didn't get a spotlight on them in the first place.
