    Am I wrong about this? I thought I read somewhere that pedophiles mostly loathe themselves for being pedophiles. So, I’d imagine they’d dislike Trump for the same reasons. And therefore, he’d mostly be polling well with upper-class American pedophiles.

      Yeah, you are wrong. Pedophiles secretly root for pedophiles it’s like a club. They say they like him for, “telling it like it is” and “other” reasons.

        You’re both wrong and right? I’m assuming there are differences among what pedophiles think. Some may be self-loathing and others sickeningly proud.

      They PUBLICLY hate themselves. Privately they sure do wish it was accepted. We might see a huge uptick in attempted normalization soon (more than even now).

        What I expect to happen is that pedophile activism will move away from “but what about children’s sexuality?” (TL;DR: even teens with actual sex drive are “too dumb” for it, and most pedophiles equate harm with serious body injury from penetration which was exaggerated by some rabid anti-pedophiles) towards “children are the parents property and thus allowed to do anything to them” and child marriage legalization.

              You’re a douchebag that can’t read the room

              “Think exactly in a certain way” means you think fucking kids is acceptable lmfao. Just say “think the same way” jfc.

      It’s definitely a spectrum but I’m sure having a president who condones it emboldens plenty who were on the fence
