Oof, I got what I wanted out of this post but you sound genuine, so Imma wade back in for a second here.
Yeah, of course. It could have been worded differently. But I’m not going for accuracy. I’m going for:
Is it short enough to read in a few seconds
Does it elicit a response.
And I already clarified why I chose the specific phrasing and picture. It’s because the only real defense an actual cultist can make is to say it’s not as bad as pedophilia because it’s just garden variety incest.
I’m not ashamed to admit I have an “agenda”.
The right wing in this country weaponized that word to attack everything from school teachers to trans folk. I wanted to pair quotes and imagery that left absolutely no wriggle room to dispute it, and rub their nose in it.
All the other photos posted? I’ve seen cultists claim firsthand they’re all nothingburgers because it’s “just a father showing affection for his child, and you’re a sick pedo if you see anything else.”
Katie Johnson’s lawsuit? “Has he been convicted yet?”
Epstein’s Island? “He stopped being friends with him long ago.”
Simply put, anything short of direct quotes and photo/video evidence isn’t enough to move a Trump supporter.
I want the link of Trump=Pedo paired with irrefutable evidence of his sexual degeneracy and this is as close as I can get until Trump admits he is one in National TV. (Rate he is going I wouldn’t be surprised if he did.)
As for my interaction with Mr. Fartbox(?) over here…
Looks like I’m catching some aggro from the folks hung up on accuracy, and I gotta say, being new to the party it’s kind of heartwarming to see you guys all coming together to defend one of your own.
It’s sweet.
That said, I’m going to keep making the style of memes I like, you’re welcome to make your own, and by all means downvote to your heart’s content when the inaccuracy of the word choices bothers you.
I thought the guy was a proper cultist, (he did a convincing job of cosplaying one) hence that specific comment thread where you see me essentially trying to make him say one bad thing about Donald Trump, and failing.
If he wasn’t so stubborn the thread would have been two comments long.
I didn’t let him have what he wanted because I didn’t want him to leave. If he was a cultist, he would have ‘claimed victory’ for making me admit the meme doesn’t actually depict pedophilia and I wouldn’t have had a chance to try to convert him, or at least sow the seeds of doubt. If you read the exchange, you see me going, “baby steps first.”
There’s no way to dispute he’s into incest if you have eyes and ears. Admitting that he is into incest is the first step. You gotta get them to take that step first before you can move onto bigger stuff on shakier evidence.
But he’s not! That’s great! That’s one less cultist to convince to sit home or pull for Harris this November. I also wouldn’t have wasted 30 minutes of my time trying to convert one, but I’m just as happy to know he wasn’t one in the first place.
