Uh no. It has a very known meaning, and the claims of Gaetz are not simply attacks on an innocent man for being on the opposing side, it’s because he has literally been fucking children.
Matt Gaetz was sex trafficking children as well...
Yikes, it's the meme.
The anecdote about you and your gf doesn't apply, because you were both 17.
Never heard of sex trafficking have you? That's illegal, too
God damn, this is like reverse Poe's Law. I thought for sure your first post was sarcasm.
Okay second time I've seen you dying on this hill. Yikes.
To explain, I understand that the definition of the word is 'the attraction to prepubescent children'. And that it makes Gaetz a sex offender because he done it.
But the intention was to highlight how the term is often misused with political sides and other situations.
When has the non-Republican side misused it?
Feels more like the intention was to muddy the waters.
No point muddying the waters of the water is already muddy. Sometimes it's best to look around than straight at the enemy side.
so do you have a concrete list of names? would be nice to know instead of just being vague all the time
edit: nevermind, i guess your point is just that the water is being muddied by evil democrats (i don’t understand one bit what you mean by that btw. matt gaetz is the one diddling kids. pointing that out isn’t done out of an irrational hatred for republicans, it’s because he’s genuinely a trash human being who has materially hurt people and gotten away with it despite public knowledge of his actions. the same applies to most other republican public figures. they’re not being demonized, they are demons.)
Ackshually, being a pedophile and calling out pedophiles is the same thing, because in both cases you're using the word "pedophile", Checkmate, liberals!
Bro pull up the receipts. If dem or progressive politicians are pedos, they deserve condemnation and expulsion (and fucking prison) the same as anyone else.
Weak dodge
