(3,929 posts)Is there some chromosome that links conservatism--or perhaps more likely a tendency to autocracy--to sexual abuse? This is happening too often to be coincidence.
I used to think it was just weird that the MAGA base were obsessed with accusations of pedophilia and drinking the blood of children, as if this was a common thing and a trait associated with a particular political point of view. i thought they were just making up the worst thing they could imagine, since their positions on real issues were so unpopular. Now it seems perhaps a case of projection. At least among the leadership; the folllowers perhaps more duped than guilty.
I'm assuming that drinking the blood of children remains a myth. But the sex trafficking is proving to be far more common than I imagined. They say rape is not about sex, but about power. So is pedophilia that on steroids? And is it associated, after all, with a particular political point of view, but the people complaining the loudest got it in reverse?
