Full stop. So, they're trying to control the narrative and bury their very real pedophilia under a whole slew of calling *everyones* pedophiles to make the term lose all meaning. See: CRT. Use it enough and people stop paying it any mind. Now, when charges come to actual factual Republican pedophiles (but I repeat myself) they can just hand-wave it away because "it's not that serious."

Also, at the same time, they're chipping away at what pedophilia "really" is. Why, if a forty-year-old man marries a twelve-year-old-girl, under GOD with her parent's blessing, well, that's not pedophilia is it? And they've gotta start dating before that, so... "Everyone's a pedophile but us, we just like 'em young like god intended"

A huge part of their upset about “sexualizing children” with sex education and consent education is that they absolutely think it’s normal and good for an adult man to gently caress a female child and are disgusted at the thought that the child could have rights in that situation. I think it was Crowder who had a half-hour segment about how pedophilia had nothing in common with what Roy Moore did when he went hunting for teens to corner at the mall, which is healthy and normal according to science and what all men secretly want to do.

You can really see this in Tennessee, and with a lot of ongoing lawsuits with 16 and 17 year olds. If they can deflect hard enough, they can cover their own crimes by making it precedent. "You can't accuse me of statutory rape, that age is legal in X" is most likely the next step for a lot of these bastards. It's disgusting in a lot of manipulative, abusive ways.

Yeah, the right is loving terrified of consent. Matt Walsh did a video review of some book about consent, and every time he said "consent" a stock scream sound effect would play as if it was the scariest thing in the world.

Maybe I'm doing the same thing QAnon is by imagining my opponents in the worst possible light, but I can't help but think of the anti-trigger warning furor as the biggest creeps in the world complaining that girls whine too much after being raped. And then they promoted an actual child-rapist for president because the rapes he did would let your woke daughter know that you hate her and she'd never feel safe. I've seen trigger warnings get used in lots of ways, both silly and cynical, but whenever I hear someone complain about them I still get skeeved out. Like, this mf spent hours listening to Roger Ailes complain that he couldn't rape their daughter. Then it came out that the rape network's head rape guy was in fact raping everyone he could, and everyone was like, "Okay, he has a point though." God, a certain gross detail about Ailes that I heard on Chapo has driven me insane. I can't stop thinking about how he tried to coerce his employees, and then made them produce segments about how it was tyranny for them to dislike it, alongside all those smirking pieces of poo poo who knew what was going on.

Maybe Rush should have consented to staying alive. I'm glad he didn't though, because him being dead is good and funny. quote:But if the left ever senses and smells that there’s no consent in part of the equation then here come the rape police Ah yes, the rape police, also known as "the police." Well, in a world where the police didn't ignore or actively antagonize rape victims, anyway.

Man, I guess it's not shocking but over a year later now and absolutely no one has stepped up to claim Rush''s throne. What little I subject myself to on the radio is just sad, robotic and borderline satire. Like the hosts are all built in a factory or took a community college course in conservative radio. They're such amateurs and the gap in talent between what Rush brought to the table and all these TalkingPointBots_v2.0 is glaring. They all sound the same and I don't have to wait 10 seconds to hear words like "socialism", "Hillary", "Omar", "San Francisco/Chicago" or "unions" and what have you. Limbaugh had genuine talent for his chosen medium and at least occasionally made hate listening relatively tolerable. He lied a lot (like they all do) but managed to at least make me listen long enough to hear his point and make me go fact check him later and hid behind some thinly veiled idea of "journalism" and "news" with some quotes thrown in. Now it's just full on dialed up to 11 with the leftist nazis this and the gay/trans pedophiles that along with how great Trump was simply by virtue of Biden sucking. It kind of exposes the dug in differences between the left and the right because I don't know any leftists that like Joe Biden at all (or ever did) but, with the right, it's just a 24/7 Trump infomercial. Democrats that I know are more than capable of criticizing our own.

I just personally feel ecstatic every time I open dnd and remind myself that right wing media is missing it's pill popping child raping superstar, and that he died slowly and painfully.

Just noting that David Mamet married a 26 year old when he was 43. I'm actually not that against age gaps, but when you're out there calling every other man a "predator," you're kind of begging me to read into that.

Clay Travis and Buck Sexton are technically the successors since they get to sit behind the coveted Golden Microphone at EIB, and they use Rush's music intros too. The reason they're not fully successors is because when Rush died and they went to "Rush's Greatest Hits" with rotating guest hosts for a few months, a bunch of stations dropped it in favor of some other right wing media personality.

A lot of conservative guys I've met really exude the attitude of 'man my teen daughters friend's are all pretty cute huh' and whoa a whole bunch of them wind up with 2nd marriages with suspiciously large age gaps. This is probably more prevalent than I like to admit. I keep thinking back to the Catholic Church and all the anti gay poo poo they harped on about and...well we know how that shook out. You throw the corporal punishment of kids (designed to control, silence and scare them) on top of everything else that came to light and it really begins to make sense and seem obvious. Self hatred and guilt directed outward but, man, it's hard for me to think it's ALL projection. Maybe I'm in denial but the estimated percentage of people with pedophelic inclinations is pretty small, isn't it? I know it's skewed because, like a lot of embarrassing and incriminating things, no one will openly admit to it and they need to be caught but, right or left leaning, it's difficult for me to picture the idea of 35% of the country being all in on loving kids. I realize that a collection of wealthy and powerful people have more clout and power than a straight percentage measurement (see: what goes on in Hollywood) and I believe that this poo poo goes on more than what comes out but I think, in the GOP's case, it's as simple as name calling and the old axiom of making people deny it. It's an old trick to call people pig fuckers, communists, gay, draft dodgers, n***** lovers, or what have you and then just kind of let the stink of the accusation settle over your enemy and let rumors and word association run their course. I highly doubt there's a large, organized ring of child fuckers out there that walk the halls of government but I may just be naive. They're really REALLY on about pedophiles and it's hard to ignore but I think it's mostly just latching on to a thing everyone loathes and attempting to associate your political enemies with that label. They learned from the Roy Moore situation. Sadly, it works because I can tell you for a fact that here in NE FL, I've overheard and directly conversed about a lot of stupid bullshit relating to democrats and child sex rings. I think it's accusatory marketing designed to associate "pedophilia" with "democrat" and that's 95% of of it. Probably the most aggressive ones pushing it are the ones we should take a look at but the logical part of me still doesn't think it's widespread, common and rampant.

I think a lot of the reason Rush hasn't been replaced is that he wasn't super relevant by the time he died. Rush basically invented "political talk radio as entertainment" as a genre, but the internet had pretty well replaced radio as a source of news and opinion by the time he died, and he'd largely fallen behind in the "saying racist/sexist poo poo to drum up outrage" arms race. Obviously, he still had a ton of listeners relative to anyone else on the radio, but a lot of that was down to name recognition, and the current group of right wing radio hosts tend to be more focused on one specific schtick, so the Limbaugh audience has likely fragmented into a number of smaller groups now.

Glenn Beck was also an entertainer and radio man first, and was incredibly successful for a good while, just that his mistake was not bowing down to Trump immediately and trying to pull a "reasonable conservative" grift with the expectation that Hillary would win. Oh yeah, funny thing, you know how [current Dem] is always the worst and most evil and most leftist Dem in history, and the right will rehabilitate previous Dems to have been not so bad? I heard that on the radio today with some campaign ad which started with "We survived Obama and HIllary, but do you know who turned out to be worse than both of them combined? Joe Biden!"
