    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.
