an audacity of pedophiles

they saw the #MeToo movement as a coming storm and looked for a scapegoat
5

What we're seeing now, right out in the open, is how men who rape children always behave when they face accountability. I call it an audacity of pedophiles-- think "murder of crows" but what happens when a bunch of rich pedophiles team up to protect each other.

Lemme break it down. The reason Donald Trump and Christian nationalists have tried so very hard to paint trans people as a "threat to women and children" is because THEY are a threat to women and children.

Riddle me this: Why is it that, after literal decades of claiming bans on "child brides" are a threat to "religious liberty,” Christian nationalists are suddenly coming out of the woodwork to advocate for the death penalty against child predators? Super odd flex for a people who claim the sexual coercion of children is "religious freedom."

But wait! There’s more.

Guess when things started to get really bad politically for trans people. Just. Guess.

Uncoincidentally, trans people went from minding their own business to being thrust into the fire just after famous serial rapists started facing actual consequences in the wake of the #MeToo movement. Instead of facing accountability for their crimes, they responded to the sudden spotlight as a “personal relations” crisis and sought to wag the dog.

MAGA-aligned oligarchs spent millions of dollars to foment outrage against a relatively unknown, largely misunderstood social group so that powerful white men had somewhere to offshore their blame. Suddenly, the same Christian nationalists who claim they have the religious right to rape kids if they call them “brides” were showing up all around the country to complain about how concerned they were about the safety of girls in locker rooms and women needing to pee. They even had the audacity to insist that they be able to walk in women’s bathrooms to “protect women”— and inspect girls’ genitals before they’re able to join a sports team… just to check everyone’s genitals looked the same.

The audacity of it all is too much to bear for CSA survivors. But wait! It gets worse.

Project 2025 explicitly states the regime’s intent to jail transgender people as "sex offenders." One MAGA politician even said the quiet out loud--at CPAC-- that supportive librarians and people who "teach gender ideology" should be executed.

E X E C U T E D.

That’s right, ladies and gentlethems, child rapists fully intend to label CSA survivors’ most ardent supporters— gender studies teachers and any librarian who recommends gender studies resources— as pornographers and groomers of kids. Read that twice.

The MAGA regime is painting CSA survivors’ most vocal supporters and credible advocates as guilty of sex abuse. It’s giving big “I’m Not a Puppet Pedo, You’re the Puppet Pedo” energy.

Now allow me to zoom out for a bit: 1 in 4 children recorded female at birth and 1 in 6 children recorded male at birth are raped during their childhoods. We also live in a digital environment, owned by those same oligarchs, that has unaologetically shadow-banned any use of the word rape, under the guise that (wait for it) it’s a violation of “community standards.” These men always weaponize concern to consolidate narrative control.

MAGA-aligned oligarchs and Christian nationalists may not see eye to eye on all things, but one they DO agree on is their right to sexually violate women and children with absolute impunity.

So If you want to know a big reason why we saw a convicted felon being propped up, Weekend at Bernie’s style, by MAGA oligarchs and Christian nationalists, it’s that they saw the rise of the #MeToo movement, realized they were about to held accountable for their serial abuses, and sought out a convenient scapegoat.

The "blame the outcast" defense.

CSA survivors need you to understand that this sleight of hand is what child rapists do: if they’re not out there banging pots and pans that children are “seductive,” they’re out there fomenting suspicion around a person who can’t defend themselves so that the attention and blame shifts off them.

All them in the Epstein files.
