    Holy shit I had a conversation the other day with a dude who said, “democrats just want to touch children and change their genitalia”

    He went off about how democrats want to change pedophile name and be more accepting. I told him people don’t say that. Only pedophiles do. He went off about how democrats are pedophiles.

    He went off about how schools, doctors, and liberal agenda is allowing the mutilation of children’s genitalia.

    Taking something he says is fact and blowing into the massive majority of all Democrat fundamentals.

      In that situation, the best thing to do is agree with them and then start telling them about how voting is a way for the goverment to track you and/or … plant … fucking alien brocolli seeds in your brain or something, so never ever vote

      BTW, the justification for using different names for pedophiles - like minor attracted person - isn’t to normalize child abuse.

      Rather its to get people to seek and accepted help.

      The real goal for us should be protecting kids. Not punishing people with dirty thoughts.

        I think that’s a good cause, but isn’t the definition of a pedophile meaning one who likes young aged people? Minor attracted person is the same thing with extra steps. Same stigma, same thoughts, same people.

        Get the help but unfortunately it may be one of the things that shouldn’t be vocalized in a normal setting as most people are too narrow minded to help.
