Sex trafficking goes back way before the 1960s.

Blaming the Sixties isn't an easy vote-getter like it was in past decades. That's been true for a while now.

"Sex trafficking goes back way before the 1960s."

Yes, but so did adultery. So did premarital sex. So did divorce. So did single-parent families. So did out-of-wedlock births. So did STD's. So did late-term abortions. So did "swinging". So did "inter-generational sex" aka statutory rape. So did "Man-Boy Love".

But that's not the point. Nobody is claiming that all of these and more "were first invented in the 1960s". Straw dog.

The point is that the Glorious Sexual Revolution spearheaded by the "leaders" of my g-g-g-generation (ie the ones with the microphones in front of their faces), caused a VERY noticeable increase - in many cases an off-the-charts increase - in all of these.

Agreed. Telling the Truth does not always get you the most votes.

This is the conundrum facing all politicians, even the tiny few who care about outmoded concepts like "integrity" or "sticking to your guns".
