the title buries the lead. MASSIVELY. Holy fucking Christ.

What in the fuck?????

You Google his name, and you find several news articles, each one describing him in a completely different, but equally horrific, way.

Like, they can't decide which horrific thing to point out in the headline...

"Pedophile runs for Congress."
"White supremacist runs for Congress."
"Rapist runs for Congress."
"Man who went to jail for making death threats against the president runs for Congress."
"Man who believes women should be considered property runs for Congress."
"Man who advocates adopting children for the purposes of raping them runs for Congress."

I guess anybody can run for congress, if they fulfil certain criteria.
I'll start worrying if he gets more than 1% of votes.

"Pedophile runs for Congress."
"White supremacist runs for Congress."
"Rapist runs for Congress."
"Man who went to jail for making death threats against the president runs for Congress."
"Man who believes women should be considered property runs for Congress."
"Man who advocates adopting children for the purposes of raping them runs for Congress."

The last one best captures the unique horror of this guy. The others have existed before and occasionally become POTUS.

It's noteworthy how many outlets are headlining this as "pedophile runs for Congress". Like the fact that he's sexually attracted to children is the worst thing about him. Not the fact that he overtly advocates domestic abuse and bragged about repeatedly raping his ex-wife and wants to rape his own infant daughter. Are those not attention-grabbing enough?

The few posts I saw about it on Facebook were talking about how this is the Democrats' fault because a Dem Senator made it legal for ex-con's to run for office, and that this is the natural progression that everybody saw coming:

1) normalize homosexuality
2) normalize pedophilia
3) something sinister
4) profit

People are nuts.

1) Wants "benevolent white supremacy"
2) Hates Jews (kind of falls under number one, admittedly)
3) Advocates for the legalization of incest
4) Advocates for the legalization of child porn
5) Wants to eliminate child labor laws
6) Wants the legalization of child marriage
7) Wants to classify women as literally, not metaphorically, property, with zero basic civil rights
8) Has bragged about raping his ex-wife repeatedly
9) Advocates adopting children for the purpose of raping them
10) Is an accountant

This man is one of the worst human beings who have ever walked the planet Earth. He is literally a public menace. He's one of the very few cases where I come close to advocating vigilante justice. The fact that news outlets seem to think his pedophilia or that "he admitted to being a pedophile" is the most noteworthy aspect to him is sickening. The fact that so many people (not anyone here) are reacting to his candidacy like "lol, that's America for you, I guess" is beyond sickening. Peoples' reactions to this guy are almost as disturbing as the guy himself.

This. The fact that he's sexually attracted to children is the least worst thing about him, given that attraction on its own is morally neutral, and the only issue is how you respond to that, which in his case is... in the worst possible way.
