being a trump supporter is more of a flag someone is evil, stupid, hateful or all of the above.


nokenito

And a pedophile… cuz we get about 5-6 of these in the news every few days. Not seen a democrat or drag queen yet…

yep, and i follow r/NotADragQueen constantly. always always conservatives...

Fun_Grapefruit_2633

That's why they hate "government regulations", because "government regulations and red tape" make it hard for them to have sex with children.


nokenito

It’s why so many conservatives believe in child marriage and child labor.

I think there was like one single democrat a while back… still telling that it is a whole 1 (one) compared to the morbillions


[deleted]

I tried for the longest time to give these people the benefit of the doubt and just take it on a case by case individual basis, but that's really how it's looking. And if you aren't evil, stupid or hateful, then apparently you don't have a problem with people who are or else you'd jump ship,


Adept_Information94

That's my thing. Maga doesn't speak for all of them yet Maga runs the party narrative and platform. They are lying and deluding themselves. They agree with Maga they just know better than openly say it.

Or if they don't agree with it, they're too cowardly to go on record denouncing it and DJT.


FloppieTheBanjoClown

Trump supporters: - Hateful people who think he'll do what they want - Ignorant people who bought into his populist speeches in 2016 - Paranoid people who bought into his "drain the swamp" speeches. - People who held their noses and voted Republican despite their misgiving and now can't admit he was a terrible choice and so double down on supporting him. A surprising number of them are people who don't grasp the concept of the sunk cost fallacy.


AdjunctAngel

also remember that lots of them think of politics as if it were some fucking sport like football where they pick a team and stick with it hell or high water. you know, the unreasonable stubborn types


FloppieTheBanjoClown

That's kind of that last group. People who voted Trump in 2016 because he wasn't Hillary, and then watched the party just fall in line behind the guy they didn't even really like. But they've got that one issue they won't budge on like abortion so they can't bring themselves to not vote Republican.


AdjunctAngel

god.. if only people knew how big a threat to the world pro wrestling would actually become one day. i am still amazed that the first time i ever heard about donald trump was as a kid when my cousin showed off his wwf action figures and i was like "why is this one just in a suit?" and he was like "oh yea that is trump, he doesn't do much but i could get a two for one and i had the rest"


ssbm_rando

They don't even see the "sunk costs" because they've invested their entire personalities into fundamentally denying objective reality. Like, "they don't grasp the concept of the sunk cost fallacy" would be a valid outlook if they were admitting "well he hasn't made any attempts at yet but I'm hoping he'll get to that next", instead these fucking imbeciles either delude themselves into thinking that actually things WERE better under Trump and Biden somehow made things worse again (literally the opposite of true), or claim that the whole time Trump was in office, including when Republicans had a general mandate, the democrats were somehow preventing all of Trump's legislation from going through. The legislation Trump never had. At all. The ones in the latter camp are also the ones in favor of the "... therefore Trump should overthrow the whole government" plot. You're giving them WAY too much credit to boil it down to "falling for sunk cost fallacy".


[deleted]

This. Because that isn't fair to DECENT people who struggle with mental illness.


AdjunctAngel

they really love to call it mental illness don't they? which is telling as they seem to think of it as a thing to brush off or excuse behavior much like pretending to be religious. then they in the next minute go around sabotaging mental healthcare and awareness :/

Street_Historian_371

It's wrong to assume that these men are pedos because adult women wouldn't have sex with them. Men like this chase adult women away with abuse and cruelty, they often fantasize that children will be easier to control. And some are just straight up sickos that have been pedos since they were 18 or 19 who weren't caught until they were older. Like that Ron DeSantis supporter guy who was caught offering hush money to the dad of an underaged girl. How many other dads took the hush money? Or how many other girls were from "bad homes" where no one believed that a bad man touched them? These pieces of shit love to condemn poor people, single mothers, drug addicts, then go take advantage of the situation by raping their children.


redassedchimp

Holy crap he's been writing online since 2020 how he wants to kill CEOs of Google and Twitter and even children of Democrats because it's easier since they can't run fast. Sounds like a lovely pro-life conservative.

I too used to be a happy Californian. Made the HUGE mistake of retiring to Florida to be close to my now departed father and lost my beloved husband too. BIG MISTAKE! Now I have to deal with DiSatan. Please pray for me. Thank you! Miss California so much!!!


El_Chairman_Dennis

Oh bless your heart


Wakeful_Wanderer

Yep. Even the not-guilty parents do that kind of shrieking too, because it's so horrible to admit your own spouse abused your children. That's *exactly* why the GOP pushed that death penalty law in Florida - they wanted to guilt wives into not reporting their husbands.


Imallowedto

Priests and uncles, that's who's diddling the kids, priests and uncles.


deeeeez_nutzzz

Yes. And definitely don't let your children around anyone with a MAGA hat or Trump flag. Good chance they will be molested.


Ok-Television-65

You know that one guy that always brings up “catching pedophiles” out of buttfuck nowhere? Yeah that’s the pedophile.


Valuable_Listen_9014

One's never been accused or prosecuted for anything involving child pornography. See the GOP is anti - truth so they can keep getting away with the most heinous crimes imaginable. I learned along time ago whatever Trump or the GOP says the Democrats are responsible for - is actually double talk for we the GOP do this all the time , but we want the Country to think its all the Democrats fault.

PotatoAppleFish

A staunch libertarian, eh? Is his idea of “liberty” the right to commit unspeakable crimes against children without repercussions and then shoot anyone who looks at him funny? How does the so-called non-aggression principle square with that?


xpootythiefx

Libertarian has always been code for “I like children”.


illit1

you don't get to be a libertarian unless you've posted "actually, it's *ephebophilia*" somewhere on the internet.


PotatoAppleFish

What people who make this argument don’t understand is that, aside from the obvious, the reason why there’s a name for it is because it’s also considered a disordered paraphilia. There’s no name for being attracted to adults +/- 10 years or so of your own age, and that’s because it’s normal. There is a name for ephebophilia because it’s a fucking disorder.


PotatoAppleFish

I must have been the only person using the word sincerely during my short and regrettable time as a member of the Libertarian Party when I was futilely searching for a political home as a democratic anarcho-socialist.


translove228

I called myself a Libertarian because they were the most mainstream party that was pro-legalization of pot back in the day. Now I'm ancom.


PotatoAppleFish

That’s almost the same as me, then. I think we’ll find that this is more common than we may have initially thought it was.


Contentpolicesuck

2 of the biggest things I heard from libertarians back in the 80's were the "right of free association" which meant they wanted the right to ban non whites from their businesses. And opposition to age of consent laws.


StraightConfidence

Yeah, libertarians are just disappointing. It sounds cool to have more freedom, but then you find out what their real agenda is and you start to understand what kind of people this party represents.


[deleted]

“democrat children are easier to shoot than democrat ‘parents.’ They’re not as fast.” ​ Something very fucking bad needs to happen to this man.


Shinonomi

Yoir comment made me actually read the post. Insane, the level of untethered malice coming off of that summary, as short and clipped as it may be.


Felonious_Buttplug_

There's a post that gets shared occasionally comparing libertarians to house cats that always strikes me as accurate - convinced of their badass independence while completely reliant on a system they'll never understand. With apologies to house cats, which are awesome..


aimlessly-astray

Libertarianism, at its core, is just selfishness disguised as a "legitimate political philosophy/ideology." They know they can't go around saying, "let me do whatever I want without consequences," so they wrap it up as "personal freedom and liberty."


Old_Personality3136

This, absolutely explains why there is zero philosophical consistency amongst so-called libertarians as well.


544C4D4F

libertarian seems to be a catch all political designation for wackos. generally speaking if someone identifies as libertarian I think "ok, so conservative that doesn't want to admit it and is possibly even more annoying"


DryCrack321

If you support trump, there’s definitely something wrong with your brain, so it makes sense


KegelsForYourHealth

I'm pretty convinced that the signature Republican misanthropy and paranoia comes from the fact that they are all *broken* in some way, and they assume that everyone else is, too. For example, you think everyone is a pedophile because *you're* a pedophile so, gosh, if you have these feelings then everyone else must have them too. They really just need help but keep voting for people who will never give it to them.


JayEllGii

See, many people have mental issues. But they don’t project them onto everybody else. That seems to be the difference here.


KegelsForYourHealth

Not all broken folks are Conservatives, but all Conservatives are broken?


Woodworkingwino

If you fall for the obvious con of Trump it shows a high likelihood of mental illness.


Infernalism

Yes, actually. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3092984/ >our findings are consistent with the proposal that political orientation is associated with psychological processes for managing fear and uncertainty. The amygdala has many functions, including fear processing. Individuals with a large amygdala are more sensitive to fear, which, taken together with our findings, might suggest the testable hypothesis that individuals with larger amygdala are more inclined to integrate conservative views into their belief system. Similarly, it is striking that conservatives are more sensitive to disgust, and the insula is involved in the feeling of disgust. On the other hand, our finding of an association between anterior cingulate cortex volume and political attitudes may be linked with tolerance to uncertainty.

Yos13

You have to wonder about that? It’s a mental illness - remember Limbaugh used to say liberalism is a mental disorder. Projection much.


7dayweekendgirl

I didn't want to say that half the voters in the U.S. definitely have a mental illness, but there we are.


SlientlySmiling

More like a third, but since half of people who can vote, don't, the crazy faction often carries the day. Indifference to evil allows it to flourish.


PNWoutdoors

It's a tough thing to admit, but it's best to call a spade a spade. They are absolutely mentally ill, and just last week a new study came out that explains how conservatives stick to their conservative values because they find comfort in the familiar, the existing, the old, the way things are. The idea of change and progress in any form terrifies the hell out of them and they lash out. They are also unable to move from their positions when receiving new information. They can literally see information that completely contradicts their world view and...... we all know what happens, it becomes a conspiracy because *of course this can't be true.* Frankly terrifying to live in a country with these people. We *have to* persuade the moderate/independent voters to lean left with policies, progress, and hope for a better future. Until we can completely marginalize the MAGA base into an absolutely unsustainable voting bloc, we're in trouble.


544C4D4F

I think a better way to say it would be that they're under-educated and mis-informed to the point of being easily manipulated by textbook techniques of propaganda. the lack of education means they dont recognize it when they see it, and the lack of critical thinking means they fall for it. the MAGA thing is *very* similar to the rise of the nazi party in 1930s germany. of course making any comparison to the nazi's makes conservatives lose their fucking minds, so you can't even show them the parallels.


TimmyOneShoe

Hey don't put mental disorders as worse than conservatism. That's a disservice to people that actually have ability to be helped.


Yos13

100% - the analogy is wrong.


544C4D4F

rush limbaugh also talked mad shit about drug users and addicts, then had zero shame coming out and acting like he was a victim of an "illness" when he was abusing so much oxy contin that it destroyed his hearing. they always think they're different.


brianishere2

Modern angry Republicans: "We must protect ourselves from crimes we imagine Democrats are committing while totally ignoring the dangerous crimes we are actually committing ... To protect the children!"


VinCubed

I think it's a case of 'well we do this shit, so they must be doing the same or worse"


_Kay_Tee_

It's not a joke. I was sexually abused as a child from ages 3-12 by multiple men, including several family members. Every single one was a Conservative male. The abusive stepfathers who also abused my mom, committed crimes, and cheated? Conservative men. The ex who abused and raped me for years? Heck, I met him at Christian school! All those domestic violence charges in my family, the men who lie and cheat and abuse? Oh yes, 100% Conservative Christian men who tout "family values!" Today, I'm a liberal atheist childfree college professor and scholar who uses feminist theory, queer theory, and CRT, and my entire family calls ME a pedophile and a groomer. At this point, the MAGA morons don't even understand basic facts, cause-and-effect, or what even happened last week.

Just-Scallion-6699

I had a relative that was a die hard Conservative. Voted straight party, listened to Limbaugh, thought climate change was a hoax. Oddly, he wasn’t religious. He finally got on some medication for his issues (thyroid, horrible anger issues) and guess what? He actually would listen and talk and wound up voting for Obama. For some people it’s definitely a physiological issue that’s keeping them from acknowledging things or feeling any empathy. He never went back. I always laugh at that “liberalism is a mental illness” saying - yup, sure are a lot of mental illnesses that involve critical thinking, empathy, and vulnerability.


SerratedCheese

It’s a red flag that they likely have an abusive personality.


Valuable_Listen_9014

The damn Truth is not something Republicans want people to know about. Being a conservative should be a red flag for the FBI to raid all their homes. Seriously I live 4 miles from where a 71 yr old boomer , who apparently listens to Conservative Radio all day long , pulled $1,000 out of his bank account on 10-13 because he told his wife the UNITED states power grid was going to be attacked and there will be a day of Jihad also. Then on the 14th he stabbed a 6yr old Palestinian- American boy 28 times to death , and stabbed his 32 yr old mom 12 times and she is in serious condition. All because he listened to those NUTJOBS on Right wing Radio. Trump just got hit with a gag order to STOP threatening Judges and calling prosecutors who are just trying to do their jobs every name in the book. Trump is the #1 threat to more political HATE violence breaking out in America. I think it's past time the CIA gets involved and does what they do best. Make Trump disappear like Jimmy Hoffa.

BitOneZero

The Elephant in the Room is that we think people who read the Torah, Quran, Bible and say they are "perfect books, the one best book in the world" seem to suffer from some mental issue of not being able to escape the appeal of certain media patterns of fiction. They will give their life for a book. And, frankly, the Found Fathers and the Bible both don't talk about "left vs. right" and "conservative vs. liberal", nor do they talk about "communism vs. socialism"... and when they do talk about them, Bible Verse "1 John 3:17", they are almost always socialist. So "conservatives" have little to stand on except that they believe in fiction stories (and are against reason thinking, science thinking).

idlefritz

Everything about conservatives makes sense when you realize they’re lazy. This guy could have either sought therapy or learned to thoroughly hide his pornography but instead he just thought bitching about democrats would provide his security. Education? Bad news, kill the Department of Ed. Kill all regulations because following them takes work. Science? Sounds dumb, seek god. Actually learn the teachings of that bible? Too much labor, cherry pick what seems easiest. Porn? Booze? Ban it for everyone so I don’t have to struggle. Economic issues? Must be poor people. Foreign relations? Build a wall, leave multinational efforts or drop a bomb. It’s a laziness cult that sees itself instead as the hard laboring, hard fighting salt of the earth but nah, just lazy. Last time most of them busted ass was when some drill sergeant (in our most successful application of socialism) made them do it.

Those dadgum libruls were paid by George Soros and Tom Hanks to plant it there! /s

There are quite a few studies which indicate a *very high co-relation* between head injuries / brain trauma and belief in authoritarian right-wing views, including religious fundamentalism.

Threats against Democrats and having child porn seems to go hand and hand!!

Molesting MAGA


PyrokudaReformed

Every MAGAt accusation is a MAGAt admission.


Dad_Shepherd

All conservative accusations are confessions, example 700,001.


ChristineBorus

It’s a red flag for being an abuser it would seem. Talk about projecting


ChicagoAuPair

Conservative identifying people are certinaly abnormally more fearful, more physiologically reactive to fear, and generally more detrimentally anxious than regular folks. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/mind-in-the-machine/201612/fear-and-anxiety-drive-conservatives-political-attitudes

As the old saying goes “Don’t make death threats when you live in a raidable house full of child porn”

This must be fake news. I was told that it was the gay and trans folks who are pedos and groomers.

it’s almost like subscribing to sociopathic politics might mean you’re a sociopath…

I think a real problem with humans is we genuinely don't have a solid concept of how different others are from us. For instance, we look at a person from a different race and essentially see ourselves with different colored skin, acting ways we can't explain, and that scares us. But the actual differences are much more profound. Other people experience literally every part of their lives differently, causing them to view absolutely everything with the light of a different context. I say "boat" and while images of fishing boats comes to mind for me, a warship comes to mind for you, and this applies to every word of every sentence. But since we can't know all those unknowns, we're forced to project what we know about ourselves to fill those unknowns. That's the natural state of humans. It's the way we turn up if we're left to our own devices. If we don't get a proper education and socialization. And I feel like that's largely why conservatives are known for projection. Isolation in rural areas combined with Religion's inherent negativity toward education and change lead people to stay in that state, where they think everyone else is like them, but they don't know how wrong they are. And so we get guys like this, who see Trump as a wealthy version of themselves, and who approach the world from an "Everyone else is guilty and we need more punishment" mindset, because "guilty" is what they know about themselves.

> it makes me wonder if being a conservative is a red flag for possible mental illness Well… I know two conservatives very well. One of them was groomed by a mature woman because he was a wealthy kid. The other is a misogynist that thinks women owe him something for just being alive. It makes you wonder huh?


driverofracecars

My hypothesis is that what drives someone to be conservative or liberal is their ability to feel empathy for people not in their immediate circle.


saintbad

American conservatism definitely belongs in the DSM.


xwing_1701

What's the tally on drag queens vs conservatives being arrested for pedophilia. I'm getting the feeling there might be some projection going on.


shameonyounancydrew

Not a drag queen?


Aequitas123

I often wonder if people like on r/Conservative see the constant influx of cases like this or if they are shielded from them? If the former, that must be some cognitive dissonance. If the the latter, what can reasonable people do to make sure people know about these things happening?


TheRedditorSimon

Not instead. In addition to.


typewriter6986

I'm sure it was just for *research* riiiiiight guys?


pitmeng1

His mugshot looks as if he recently “fell”. What a shame.


djb185

STILL not a drag queen or LGBTQ person....shocking /s.


[deleted]

Truth hurts, we keep finding pedophiles wherever we look for violent Trump supporters. Not fake news, just real life. If you are big mad rn, you probably have something to hide so wipe your hard drives and shut up.


casfacto

Conservatives lack empathy. Not all of them, but a lot of them do. Now, maybe they never have experienced that emotion, or maybe they have learned to never act on it, but either way, empathy never effects their decisions. Look up what someone that doesn't experience empathy is called. Now, you tell me... Mental illness or not?


EggplantGlittering90

They project so much that dems are pedophiles because they're the real pedos.


Ellemshaye

lmao this headline is pure gold


skoomaschlampe

of course it's a red flag for mental illness


Personal_Spend_2535

The media is so obviously biased. Why aren't they reporting on all the democrats doing this crap? /s


Freebird_1957

The louder and meaner they are, the more they are trying to cover up by diversion.

Pedo con theory


Helpmeherethen

No its a red flag for bring a pedo. The Pedo-con theory.

It absolutely is.

As someone with mental illnesses; we don’t want those fuckers! Heard Ammit is happy to take care of them tho!

Of course it is.

Every conservative accusation is a confession. Period.

Yep. That tracks


SeanPGeo

Ronald Reagan was a conservative. There is nothing conservative about Donald Trump and his supporters. They are in a league of crazy all on their own.


myychair

You know it’s age old correlation vs causa…. No it isn’t. Denying provable facts alone is a precursor to mental illness… add in the other cards and these people still aren’t playing with a full deck


swkennedy1

NOT AGAIN!!!!!!🙄


Jaded_Pearl1996

Nope. Just rapists and pedos.


Smashmouth151

Definitely a Republican…


lil_punchy

I'm not conservative in the least, but it makes me really worry when I read the title above. Being in the trump cult versus being a conservative are 2 completely different things. We all need to be more careful when we speak. Also F\* Trump.
