Projection. The fear of being found out.

Why are so many Republican anti-gay politicians gay?

Why are so many Republican tough-on-crime politicians corrupt?

Why are so many Republican think-of-the-children politicians pedophiles?

Projection: if they do it, everyone is doing it: so we have to do something about that.

Fear of being found out: if you are the loudest voice against your own crime, surely nobody will suspect you.

Every accusation a confession.

Okay lets not undersell the bipartisan commitment to corruption🤑

Every time a republican 'says protect the children', check their hard drive

UNDER THE NAME JOE BIDEN!

His fapsona was Joe Biden.

[–] Red_October@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

I feel like he was hoping someone would associate what he was doing with the Democrats, like he hoped someone would catch the alias but not know who was behind it.

[–] sramder@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

I feel like there’s just a bit to much going on with that handle to be sure… feels like he was capturing his own orgasm scream to me, like try to pronounce it any other way now… JoeBiden-n-n-n-n-almost… justaminuite… SiiiiiiixxxxtyNinnnnne!

See, can’t be done.

Because the (R) party is okay with it. They're fine with you being a horrific person until you get caught by the public.

Prove me wrong (R) party: turn in some of your pedos voluntarily to gain some street cred. You've got plenty of them to go around.

[–] drhodl@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

They'll do that when the church does,.... ie Never.

That is an incredibly horribly long list - thank you for sharing that, as difficult as it is to see.

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Kind of a meaningless pile without a comparison to democrats being done for the same thing.

Like I’m not supporting republicans here, just highlighting it would be nice to compare.

[–] drhodl@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

You are welcome to make a list of pedo Dems. It's very easy to google. I thought to start a comparison a couple years ago, and got to around 75 GOP before I even found a single Dem, at which point it didn't seem worthwhile searching further. Pedo Dems exist for sure, but the conviction rate for GOP'ers is far, far, far higher. Reality is that the GOP attracts pedos, or somehow twists them into it.

Why add the father and husband? Are they trying to get sympathy for this perv?

[–] Hux@lemmy.ml 29 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I thought the opposite. The context of husband and father just makes him seem like more of degenerate scumbag—impacting those you’d assume he cares about.

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Exactly this

[–] spooky2092@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 2 days ago

Because you gotta soften the unbelievable allegation that yet another republican turns out to be a pedo or sex pest of some sort.

For me it helps to establish that outward appearances are not good indicators of horrible people. A lot of ignorant people are quick to cast judgment on those that don’t fall into societal norms and here’s this horrible person that checks all the boxes those folks would generally be looking for to establish somebody as a good person.

[–] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 days ago

Advertisement for his sick type of role play?

[–] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 days ago

Or maybe hinting at horrible abuses beyond just the CSAM?

[–] TomMasz@piefed.social 20 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Lack of empathy is required to be a Republican. It's the reason for everything they do. Including this.

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

This is the cold, cold solid logic and definitely the right answer. Negative consequences mean absolutely nothing to right wingers unless it's them who are harmed.

[–] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Please note Leading Report is a known conspiracy bullshit site.

However the news story is, in this case, real.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago

Every accusation is a confession.

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 days ago

I somehow got signed up to some GOP campaign donation mailing list and the shit they sent was unbelievable. Cartoon child porn captioned "This is what Democrats want to put in the schools!"

I just replied "Why are you sending me child porn?" and I guess they removed me from the mailing list. These people are seriously warped.

[–] AlexLost@lemm.ee 4 points 2 days ago

No, see... I was just trying to make democrats look bad, see. Yeah. Fuck those adrenochrome addicted libs, eh!!

[–] kSPvhmTOlwvMd7Y7E@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

Duh. Obviously it's Biden. Look at his nickname. fucking dems smh

(Disclaimer: this is satire which refers to the gang tatoo very obviously photoshopped)

[–] InFerNo@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 days ago

Now we'll never know what he was distributing thanks to censorship 😩

[–] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 days ago

I am just a dummy but why the fuck hide it? Theirs and everyone else lives would be so much better. Makes my brain hurt.

Pedophile, PDF file. I get it.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Ahhhh, so THAT's what they mean by "the Biden Crime Family."

[–] sramder@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

TBF he wasn’t soliciting in a truckstop bathroom…

Some of us just want to shit.
