Why what happened and remind me who Lee Carter is

Lee Carter was the marine turned epic dirtbag leftist Virginia state representative who recently ran for Virginia governor. At some point he came out as a survivor of domestic abuse. Sean Moorhead is now alleging that Lee is himself a serial abuser who lied about being abused to preemptively discredit any of his alleged victims. And that this was an open secret in the leftist circles in the area, which is why no local DSA chapter endorsed his reelection or gubernatorial campaigns

edit: Carter is now, via subtweets, accusing Moorhead of being a nazi for having aspergers.

i believe the anime avatar man imo.

either way it was also very funny that as soon as carter lost both his rep seat and lost the governor primary he immediately went in on 'electoral politics is a deadend' and 'i shall now retire to be a sheep farmer'

also the specific line of logic on this is that the guy who its named after was a nazi who turned dozens of his patients over to be murdered, and the autism/aspergers distinction was made to separate those who should and shouldnt be executed for being unproductive. however, this is only partially true. while the nazi named asperger did exist, the term was first used by dutch psychologists years after ww2. russian psychologists also used the same term with a different name due to said nazi ties, meaning that the base diagnosis was considered distinct and valuable even by people who loathed nazis enough to remove asperger's name from the roll. it is also worth noting that asperger himself was seemingly autistic.

while the term asperger's has been removed from several medical journals and is generally recommended against these days (for reasons unrelated to naziism, mostly that the distinction between it and regular autism is extremely vague and hard to define) its still in fairly widespread use both casually and among some doctors who grew up when it was more recommended. and of course, there are dozens of thousands of people who are still diagnosed as having 'asperger's' and probably will be until they die. and ofc 99% of the people diagnosed with it who have self-identified with the term for years have zero idea about its origin. so its good that a former sitting politician is saying anyone who says they have it is a nazi.

I interpreted the joke to mean “23 is his cut off and anyone who looks older than 22 isn’t on his radar”, which I do think of as creepy. If you’re a guy in your 30’s are you’re specifically looking to hook up with people in their teens or who literally JUST started drinking, it’s because you’re a predator or a just a loser who doesn’t have adult friends. If there’s a healthy, 3rd option for that kind of behavior I don’t know what it is.

i realize we live on the internet now but you can make jokes about someone chasing girls barely over 18 without it being an accusation of them literally being a pedophile who should be fired from their job. like there's middle ground between 'lol that guy only fucks co-eds' and 'i think you are jeffrey epstein'

I assume the thinking is that without a USSR, there is not a Red Scare in 1919 and a crackdown on leftist groups?
