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.

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

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.

Sure seem to know a lot about what they think

Duh 🤡 I'm an empath

It's just how people work dude. Look at the spin happening RIGHT NOW. "Barely legal 15 year olds"

No, you're a dumbass that thinks any large group of people can be said to think exactly in a certain way.

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.

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.

[–] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

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.
