    So remember how Conservatives pushed to create laws to enforce strict rules for who entered bathrooms because men might enter women’s restroom to attack women and girls by claiming they were trans? Turns out it was a myth according to the Conservative group that thought it up.

    If you doubt the article, it was also reported on a conservative site contained on the quote below and on the group’s webpage.
    I doubt this will change anything said by idiots who believed it or just wanted an excuse to hate trans people with the thin illusion that they weren’t bigots. But once again another myth is busted.

    The moron brigade are scared of trans people and gays molesting women and children, then they vote for Trump and Roy Moore.

    So...they don't really mind some molestation, just so long as it's white hetero cis men.

    As long as dirty old white men are getting all that sweet pre-pubescent pussy, all's right with the world.
    Anything else is "disorder".

    They just want “reasons” for their bigotry otherwise that would just be wrong and crazy. I guess they lost their reason and are just left with hate now.

    Maybe they can blame trans people on immigration, we can put ICE in every bathroom with a high tech scanner to analyze DNA. You know, small government ideas like that.

    Perhaps this area of progress will endure as the most lasting legacy of the Obama administrations.

    LGBTQ rights certainly will, gay marriage and the expansion of trans people’s rights happened under his watch. Trump has tried to reverse a lot of it, but most have been thankfully defeated in the courts. But he’s basically tried to reverse everything Obama did out of petty spite, so I doubt he really cares either way. Most of his anti-LGBTQ stuff came directly from Pence to appease the religious right.

    If pro-Moore pastors hadn't pulled the "well....Mary was technically jailbait, so...maybe there's some grey area there...y'know?", gambit, I could swallow that Moore voters just didn't think he was guilty.
    But some motherfuckers even came out and said they didn't CARE if he was guilty.

    So don't you give me no bullshit that I made this up.

    How is it wrong? Republicans voted for actual sexual predators. Trump has openly admitted to sneaking into the changing room of Miss Teen America, grabbing women by the pussy and other acts. Then he endorsed Moore who was such a well known creep that he was banned from local malls and some conservatives jumped at the chance to support him. How can you claim that you were against women and girls being assaulted and then do that?

    I’ll tell you why, because you never cared about women or girls, you just wanted to punish trans people for existing in public and wanted others to go along with it. You can rationalize it however you like, but your actions spoke louder than your false words. Now the people behind it have exposed themselves.

    It does appear to be the message though doesn't it?

    Every group tends to let a few things slide because it's their "side" - however, if you're going to portray yourself as some moral arbiter, you automatically apply a higher standard to yourself.

    I'm perfectly fine with the more economically conservative diving into bed with Trump, sure there's a debate there about how he goes about things. However, if you're a social conservative, you should be hating on Trump like anything. The likes of Roy Moore should be keeping off horses, just in case one of those social conservatives decided to toss a noose around his neck and kicked said horses arse.

    If you're not, you're a hypocritical piece of shit and hounded out of everywhere you go.

    What Dicky is saying is that everyone who voted for Trump and or Roy Moore is okay with child molesting. I know for a fact that’s not true. No, I didn’t vote for Trump, but I know people who did. But this is how insane the left has gotten and it’s only going to get worse. Pretty soon they’ll be blaming Trump for the common cold.

    No, he's never claimed everyone - just the "moron brigade", now if you're applying that to all Trump voters, well, that's on you.

    There is a definite group of conservatives who will tolerate things like molestation just so long as they get what they want out of it. And they get to go in the same, bigger, group as the likes of those who excused Polanski for his actions.

    You know. Fuckwits.

    It's rather implicit that the moron brigade are those who fear the trans community using the restrooms they identify with, for fear of their kids getting molested, yet are perfectly content to vote for creepy old pervs who it would seem have actually gone and done the molesty thing.

    I mean, come on, it's right there in his post FFS!

    So conservatives knowingly lied to create the trans bathroom panic, and they knowingly lied about Seth Rich, and they're knowingly lying about climate change... Remind me why I should ever believe a conservative about anything ever? :?:

    It didn’t make them not want to vote for them though, so they find it acceptable in elected officials and in Trump’s case, the highest office. So they don’t find it completely unacceptable. Given that many didn’t care if it’s true shows that it doesn’t even matter to them. While you may not have voted for them, you do continue to defend their policies so you are going to get tied to them. The party you support has no problem electing pedophiles, rapists and admitted white nationalists. While all Republicans may not support this, not enough of you are speaking up to stop it. That’s allowing them to take over and slowly push out anyone who objects, it’s already happening now. Just look at the Republicans who objected to Trump. They get voted out and that’s why you’re going to get accused to supporting all of it. Conservative Christians do the exact same thing to most Muslims because they don’t deny and reject the extremists who commit acts of terror, now ironically it’s happening to them. Maybe God does have a sense of humor.

    Also I’m not a femanazi psycho leftist, no one is. That’s another myth created to attack people with different opinions and smear opponents. I support equality, freedom of expression and treating people equally under the law. If you’re against that, what are you?

    Considering people like Roy Moore were known for being attracted and having relations with children, and they did have primaries where they were chosen among other republicans who didn't have relations with underage children it goes to say that the majority of republicans found nothing wrong with child molestation and chose them over others who were as qualified or better and did not. When you factor in the reality that the church is the largest supporter and protector of child molesters and those people are devoted to it, and that sex with children is condoned when within the sanctity of Christian marriage you can only conclude the major part of their voting base is accepting or positive towards child molestation. The few that are not are at best outliers who are overpowered by the majority.

    Your friends voted for known sexual predators. There was credible information before their respective elections which substantiated them being sexual predators. Trump even bragged about it.

    Also, now everyone knows you are friends with people who support sexual predators. So congrats on giving us something else to rag on you about.


    Sorry if it's a disturbing thought, but your friends support sexual predators. Maybe you should make new friends if it bugs you that much. Try sitting at a different table in the cafeteria tomorrow at lunch.

    but they are not sexual predators if it is within the sanctity of marriage, or if the hookers who piss on you are from Russia.

    as Donald little hands would say it "IT IS NOT MOLESTATION! NO MOLESTATION! NO RAPE! IT IS AL LIES!!!!!!!111!!!!! HILLARY'S EMAILS! BENGHAZI! LOCK HER UP!"

    nice broad brush - there are Trump voters right here on wordforge who don't give a fuck if someone is trans, realize gays do not molest kids at any higher rate than any other demographic group, don't give a fuck who's in a public bathroom (except for bums taking a bath in the sink) and do not engage in sex with anybody underage. But don't let facts derail your narrative!

    If Coke runs on a platform of having Pepsi executed, and you vote Coke just because you wanted a Coke, and then Coke executes Pepsi, you voted to execute Pepsi.

    Don't let facts like you are in the minority and tolerate the child molesters, homophobes, racists, and other trash in your party. Don't let the facts remind you who your glorious leaders are.

    so dirty old white men only came into being once Trump was elected? Got it! Trans people were universally welcomed and tolerated until Trump got elected? Got it!
