To get a sense of why conspiracy theories centered on sex trafficking and pedophilia — and now the “Epstein list” — are so buzzy in MAGA circles, POLITICO Magazine called up Mike Rothschild, author of The Storm Is Upon Us: How QAnon Became a Movement, Cult, and Conspiracy Theory of Everything and Jewish Space Lasers: The Rothschilds and 200 Years of Conspiracy Theories.
Rothschild pointed to a toxic stew of age-old antisemitism; the worst incentives of today’s social media; and the right’s unending obsession with Bill and Hillary Clinton.
Donald Trump pops up in the documents, including some released on Monday, but that’s typically not a problem for his hard-core supporters. As with most conspiracy theories, adherents create their own reality.
“There’s nothing Trump can do that will lose these people’s loyalty,” Rothschild said. “Anything that is inconvenient, that alters their worldview, they’ll just ignore it, or they’ll make up some bizarre justification for it.”

It seems to me that the vast majority of exposed sexual degenerates, including pedophiles, are not God-fearing, Christian conservatives. I sense a clear pattern here. . .
If you're a leftist, you're far more likely to be a diddler than if you're not a leftist.
Seeking to normalize the pervert behavior of pedofiles.
Noticed the same thing.
Politico , huh. I like how they poo poo sex trafficking and pedophilia like its the norm. Maybe for the Democrats its the dorm but not for the Christian God fearing, patriot families I know.
These people are sick!
When will the FBI release the video confiscated at Epstein’s apartment. Why did he have a painting of Bill Clinton in a blue dress? Where there’s smoke. there’s fire.
To a leftwing communist, a Constitutional patriot is to their far, far right.
Hhhm Reality or the narrative
I will go with reality
It’s a vast left wing conspiracy
What is wrong with us? Focusing on one of the most dispicable crimes against humanity? Wanting those who engage in such acts to hang? Id think this would be a topic everyone could get behind without partisan gaslighting….
It’s real.
Some unsettling historical facts.....
snip......
“In 1890, the age at which girls could consent to sex was 12 or younger in 38 states. In Delaware, it was seven.......
Based on English Common Law dating back to the 1500s, American lawmakers had selected 10 or 12 as the age of consent to coincide with the onset of puberty, as if once a girl menstruated she was ready to have sex.”....snip
In the hills, it was said that if she bleeds, she breeds.
Crude, but biologically accurate and in a society without the ability/desire to closely monitor/control access to young females, an unpleasant fact given our current mores.
As late as the 1970’s, legal age was 13 in many southern states.
Let’s specify now that I performed the genuflecting kabuki dance of “...now I don’t condone underage sex....and I condemn sex trafficking...”
The change in consent laws was driven by upper and middle class Victorian and Edwardian mores.....ie only the rich should be able to fornicate freely and with children and each other in secret......and whores...but only the rich.
This is the same Puritan tribalism that agitated effectively for suffragism, abolition, and child labor.
Just wanted to add some historical context.
Why isn’t the far left more concerned about sex trafficking? 🤔. Oh wait they’re doing the trafficking.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
was mike one of the rothhschild family with connections to the NXIVM sex cult?
“Rothschilds, NXIVM sex cult connected to alleged child-trafficking... bunker found in Tucson”
It is hard to normalize pedophilia without demonizing those who oppose it.
The larger question is, why are the DNC's media shills obsessed with ignoring, covering it up, and carrying water for its perpetrators?
Ok. That makes sense. I rather suspected that but it’s good to see someone else say it.
Fine but this is going to a court of law and the court will use whatever legal terms are for ‘kids’.
That is where the ‘don’t’ and ‘it’s okay’ legal action will judge from.
