I honestly don't understand how you Americans still seem to believe that anything in the Epstein files could possibly harm Trump. It was known before the 2016 election, that he was peeping in dressing rooms at Miss Teen contests. Before the 2016 election he bragged about sexually assalting women. Before the 2024 election he was convicted for sexual abuse.

And people did vote for him, not despite of that, but because of it. Because they are misogynistic assholes who adore and envy him for doing stuff like that.

I think most of these things are why he got elected. He did the things the average american wishes he could do.

[-] toad@sh.itjust.works 2 points 21 hours ago

yea we all know america is a pedocracy.

[-] Tiresia@slrpnk.net 5 points 21 hours ago

pedocracy

Ruled by a child? Yeah, that fits.

[-] toad@sh.itjust.works 2 points 19 hours ago

No that's an infentocract. A pedocracy is ruled by pedos

[-] Tiresia@slrpnk.net 2 points 17 hours ago

Mixing Latin and Greek roots? You sociopath^1^.

Yes, pedocracies are ruled by pedos; the Greek word for 'child'. See also Pedagogy (teaching children), pediatrics (medicine for children), and pedophily (sexual attraction to children).

A society ruled by pedophiles would be a pedophilocracy. From the Greek words 'pedos' (child), 'philia' (lust), and 'cratos' (rule). Like aristocracy (rule by the best), democracy (rule by the people), or autocracy (rule by oneself).


^1^: from Latin 'socius' (comrade) and Greek 'pathos' (caring).

what's the difference? Romans stole everything from the greek anyway

Because if he committed an actual, irrefutable crime, like raping a 13 year old, or being heavily involved with the trafficking of minors, it doesn't matter if he's president, he should still face the law. The fact that Republicans wouldn't consider that disqualifying should not be relevant.

[-] brotundspiele@sh.itjust.works 6 points 22 hours ago

But he already committed multiple irrefutable crimes, like the aforementioned Sexual abuse, Conspiracy against the United States, 34 other felonies and much more. He never had to face the law, because he owns the prosecutors as well as the judges.

Don’t worry, USA has the best court system money can buy.

Unfortunately, it is relevant. The double standard is insane.

He raped a 13 year old violently and there's probably video in those epstein files.

[-] brotundspiele@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 day ago

And? These allegations were also known since 2016. But that didn't stop anyone from voting for him, twice.

  • His Conspiracy Theorist supporters will call it an AI fake, created by the deep state.
  • For his Christian voters he'll be redeemed if he pays 50 shekels to the girls father and marries her.
  • His nazi supporters might say: "Whell that's not nice. But at least he's getting rid of the immigrants."
  • His sexist supporters will say "Well 13 might be a bit young, but after all it's her fault for wearing such a short skirt. And with these kids nowadays you never know their real age".
  • His MAGA supporters will say "I don't care, he's our saviour. If he deems such things necessary, who am I to question him."
  • The Idiots say "Well he might be an asshole, but Kamala Harris also did some bad things."
  • And his courts say that it's already barred or he's got immunity or he just enacts a new law that makes rape legal if the perpetrator is a politician. He'll have the Congress's support, as soon as the files are released.

Did I forget anyone?

Those things aren't known by everyone. My conservative MIL didn't vote for Trump having known about those things, but my SIL did. She was shocked when I told her about it.

Americans generally aren't as well educated as many other countries of its caliber and a bit part of that manifests in media literacy and general interest in anything, really. My SIL claims she made her decision to vote for him because his campaign page was more convincing about lowering prices and Karris' I kid you not.

Yeah this is a single anecdote about a single person, but this largely has been my experience.

[-] toad@sh.itjust.works 5 points 21 hours ago

checking if your candidate isn't a pedophile should be the fucking bare minimum lmao

[-] rmrf@lemmy.ml 1 points 20 hours ago

I agree, but we're talking about a white Christian in rural america. They don't put effort into it because they aren't meaningfully affected by outcomes either way. The SAVE act might be the first time they directly experience an erosion of rights but even then, theyre wealthy enough to travel regularly so their passport is likely recent.

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 19 hours ago

But that didn’t stop anyone from voting for him, twice.

Most of them voted for him thrice

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

Video of him raping a 13 year old girl is different.
