Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I don't disagree with your assessment...but the fact they elected one to the highest office is a pretty powerful message (on normalization) to the rest of the world.

You seem to focus too much on the pedophilia. It's not that these people like pedophilia. They like the rich. And if the rich are pedophiles, who cares, they are rich.

The love of rich is stronger than the hate of pedophiles, yes that is how it looks.

I can't understand it personally. Only one of those is actually a despicable crime. Worshiping rich is people idiotic to me, letting them be above the law, on that kinda crime goes well beyond idiotic.

No, they like pedophiles, too.
