Every day, Idiocracy is less sci-fi and more documentary.

[u/Dapper-Roller → u/No-Cranberry6148]

The fact that the crowd’s response to “You protected pedophiles!” is to chant “USA! USA!” tells you everything about MAGA.

They aren’t denying it. They can’t. The entire GOP has been covering up the Epstein files, slow-walking the release, redacting Trump’s name. When you can’t defend it, you just chant USA louder to drown out the truth.

That protester is braver than everyone in that room combined.

[u/throwawaylexluther → u/Dapper-Roller]

They still defend it but I don't believe any of them actually believe it. My maga father admitted to me that pedophilia is not a deal breaker for home before he stormed out of family therapy.

I imagine most MAGA are like this too.

[u/No-Cranberry6148 → u/throwawaylexluther]

Pedophilia is not a deal breaker? That's got to be one of the most shocking statements I've ever heard and this is an age where we've heard everything.

But out of curiosity, what does he think he is obtaining from this that's so precious that he can overlook pedophilia?

[u/throwawaylexluther → u/No-Cranberry6148]

I honestly don't know.

These are the only things I learned from my parents during our family therapy sessions..

They never considered and still don't that they could be wrong

Pedophilia is not a deal breaker

Trans people are extremist for wanting rainbow sidewalks.

[u/Automatic_Taste_7242 → u/throwawaylexluther]

And the world shattering ideology of just letting them quietly live their lives

[u/MartiniPhilosopher → u/No-Cranberry6148]

It's not that he's getting anything from this.

It's that he believes children to be property. That's why they behave like this. That they act like everyone else is lying when others say it's actually terrible and harmful.

In their hearts, they think that children and women are property and you're allowed to do whatever you want to them.

[u/lukaspixels → u/No-Cranberry6148]

It's been made abundantly clear that pedophilia is not a deal breaker for any of this scum.

[u/burlap_underground → u/No-Cranberry6148]

They've been brainwashed to believe that however evil their guys are, the other guys are MORE evil, and are bringing about MORE destruction. So they have to accept whatever because accepting the more evil other guys is obviously worse.

It's quite insidious. And we're pretty fucked over it all.

[u/pfroo40 → u/No-Cranberry6148]

Just look at that Ramasmarmy attack ad in Ohio. It features Amy Acton's birth mother saying not to vote for Amy. Amy was sexually abused at 12 years old by her stepfather. It was so bad the state removed her and her brother from the home. Guess what her mom did? She stayed with the abuser, the pedophile, for the rest of his despicable life. She blamed Amy for what happened. And now she thinks a Republican is better suited for governor than Amy.

This is the reality we are dealing with. MAGA are all abusers, and now victims of abuse from their party, and they stay anyway.

[u/MoistProlapse → u/throwawaylexluther]

Sorry to hear your father is an irredeemable scumbag. At least you turned out alright.

[u/throwawaylexluther → u/MoistProlapse]

Thats because i have the morals he instilled in me, not the morals he lives by.

[u/NinjaTrilobite → u/throwawaylexluther]

"Do as I say, not as I do" is the single holy mantra of MAGA.

[u/throwawaylexluther → u/NinjaTrilobite]

yep, and lots of therapy and deconstructing has made me realize that was my life growing up with him.

[u/Continental__Drifter → u/throwawaylexluther]

Glad you made it out the other side

[u/TheAskewOne → u/throwawaylexluther]

A few years ago maga was adamant that all LGBTQ people are "groomers". They used that word massively during the 2024 campaigns. They were obsessed over drag queens for supposedly "sexualizing children". Now they have to admit that they’re fine with pedophilia as long as it’s conservatives doing it.

[u/Elvis_Lazerbeam → u/TheAskewOne]

Not to mention pizza-gate, which was supposedly all about busting a Democrat pedo ring. Funny how all-in they were when they thought it was the Democrats doing it. When it’s their precious leader doing it that’s fine though.

[u/GetThePuckOut → u/TheAskewOne]

Only "big, strong men" are allowed to do things like sexualize children and abuse women.

Otherwise, how would anyone know how "big" and "strong" they are?

[u/prontoid → u/TheAskewOne]

It was always projection

[u/Maleficent-Storm8897 → u/throwawaylexluther]

Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes “common sense.” There’s a name for it, the illusory truth effect. Talk radio and Fox have spent 35 years running the experiment and the results are in.

[u/civil_politician → u/Maleficent-Storm8897]

The results were already in since 1932

[u/Eddiebaby7 → u/throwawaylexluther]

I watched Fox talking about how therapy is driving families apart just the other day, because no one on the right can take any accountability.

[u/throwawaylexluther → u/Eddiebaby7]

Yah. I read the article. It's ridiculous

They act like the therapist are telling us to go no contact with my family

And yet they're the ones that stormed out I've actually never truly gone no contact. I just stopped talking to them, after letting my feelings be known through email

[u/Lady_Grantham2223 → u/throwawaylexluther]

I would disown him if he were my father. Luckily,  my father and stepfather had morals and decency.  Wish they were still here.

[u/throwawaylexluther → u/Lady_Grantham2223]

Havent spoken to him since

[u/From_Graves → u/Dapper-Roller]

They don't defend it because they feel seen beating their sons and molesting their daughters, all while blaming their problems on black and brown people.

This is why they go to church on Sunday and worship a white jesus who will forgive them. No love like Christian hate.

[u/Lady_Grantham2223 → u/From_Graves]

I no longer go to church  at all.  I cannot  and will not worship  a deity like that.

[u/From_Graves → u/Lady_Grantham2223]

Church is just a support group for them ,they should be taxed

[u/Ashendarei → u/Dapper-Roller]

Honestly I think the USA chants are plants (paid attendees) in the audience.   It screams damage control to me.

[u/ShaveTheTurtles → u/Dapper-Roller]

It makes you wonder if they plant people in the crowds to start chanting USA when something inconvenient comes up. Then the rest of the brain dead crowd starts chanting with them. 

[u/jokedem → u/Dapper-Roller]

When all is said and done pedophiles are what’s left of his base. It’s still the most underreported crimes in society, families just sweep it under the rug.

[u/Plus-Range3710 → u/Dapper-Roller]

There are people in the audience that work for the campaign that start the chants. It’s planned. Which is horrifying they are actively planning for hecklers to call the President a pedophile. Like the cognitive dissonance the people handling Trump must engage in to be aware of the Epstein files and than to actively engage in the cover up.

[u/Tonkdog → u/No-Cranberry6148]

I pray for President Camacho to take over, he will literally hire the best people to serve us.

[u/Leven → u/Tonkdog]

In this media climate, Terry Crewes might actually have a chance..

[u/spacedoutmachinist → u/Leven]

Best we can do is the Rock.

[u/notyouraverageskippy → u/spacedoutmachinist]

He would still make a better president than the encumbant chump

Edit The Rock would still make....

[u/No-Cranberry6148 → u/notyouraverageskippy]

That's not exactly a high bar.

A dog turd would make a better president than the present occupant of the White House.

[u/ChickenMcFukket1 → u/notyouraverageskippy]

It doesn't matter who would make a better president! ;)

[u/Brilliant-Option-526 → u/ChickenMcFukket1]

I smell that comment.

[u/citizenjones → u/No-Cranberry6148]

He was reading the tea leaves.

[u/NOTLD1990 → u/No-Cranberry6148]

Hell, in idocracy the people were just stupid, this is nefarious

[u/civil_politician → u/No-Cranberry6148]

It would be better if we had benign idiots instead of these fucking malicious ones

[u/CrimsonAntifascist → u/No-Cranberry6148]

Seems "optimistic" at this point.

[u/HisCromulency → u/No-Cranberry6148]

Is Idiocracy Sci-Fi? I would think it’s more fantasy.

[u/ratpH1nk → u/No-Cranberry6148]

Are they saying USA USA for the dissent? Or because they think USA USA is for protecting pedophiles?

[u/mountaindoom → u/No-Cranberry6148]

At least President Camacho wasn't raping children protecting his friends that did.
