    In reality pedophilia has no meaning, it’s just a derogatory term for disagreeing with the opposing sides.

      Uh no. It has a very known meaning, and the claims of Gaetz are not simply attacks on an innocent man for being on the opposing side, it’s because he has literally been fucking children.

        So a 17-yo is a child? If you had called 17-yo me and my 17-yo gf children back in the day, we would have laughed our asses off at you and continued fucking each other’s brains out. Also, we were already a year past the age of consent for our state.

        So we can’t even call Gaetz a statutory rapist unless he was dumb enough to have fucked her in Florida. (He probably was too dumb to move the party 50-miles north of his district and be free and clear.)

          Never heard of sex trafficking have you? That’s illegal, too

          Yikes, it’s the meme.

          The anecdote about you and your gf doesn’t apply, because you were both 17.

        To explain, I understand that the definition of the word is ‘the attraction to prepubescent children’. And that it makes Gaetz a sex offender because he done it.

        But the intention was to highlight how the term is often misused with political sides and other situations.

          When has the non-Republican side misused it?

          Feels more like the intention was to muddy the waters.

            No point muddying the waters of the water is already muddy. Sometimes it’s best to look around than straight at the enemy side.

              so do you have a concrete list of names? would be nice to know instead of just being vague all the time

              edit: nevermind, i guess your point is just that the water is being muddied by evil democrats

                Ackshually, being a pedophile and calling out pedophiles is the same thing, because in both cases you’re using the word “pedophile”, Checkmate, liberals!

              Bro pull up the receipts. If dem or progressive politicians are pedos, they deserve condemnation and expulsion (and fucking prison) the same as anyone else.
