Ive learned that when prople seem to have a mental fixation on something, its usually because they have or will have inclinations to indulge in the same.

Pastor, pedophile, with an estranged wife. MAGA really appeals to a certain type.

Both not a drag queen and a person you'd most suspect.
All churches should be 18+ only.

But then who would believe their horseshit without a childhood of indoctrination.

Conversely I grew up in a church that treated me better than my parents did. It's not religious institutions that is the problem. It's the people that flock to it and use it as a shield to hide behind. The fix is really simple though, don't isolate children. Don't allow one on one. Kids were always in groups with multiple adults acting as rotating chaperone in my upbringing.

the holier than thou attitude is a cover to hide their sinister nature.

When you take a kid to a drag show, they have fun and are safe.
The exact opposite of taking a kid to church.

Just once I'd like to meet a MAGA with self awareness. Nobel Prize to anyone that can devise a way to give these idiots self awareness and a microgram of empathy.

they were taught through decades of right wing grifters(including faux news and talking heads) to not believe with your eyes or ears, or introspection only assumption vibes.

MAGA are defective people, not broken. You can’t fix them.

If they have no shame about abusing children, do they at least have any shame being such a cliché?

No they do not.

Yet another GOP pedo.

Has anyone been making a list of all of these MAGA pedos stories? Wish I would have been, they pop up with not so amazing consistency, would be nice to have a comprehensive list at the ready.

I think DailyKoz has a 60 page list of that somewhere.

If the police wanted to round up child molesters they could start by writing down all the LGBTQ-hating preachers in their jurisdiction, and use that as a suspect list.

Well, that’s a fucking surprise.

It reminds me of a tale I read as a child which goes like this: Once there was a burglar and he has some members too in his gang and they would act like saints. The leader of that gang would walk on bricks of gold instead of bare earth. When asked, his followers would say that he does not want to impure earth by his sinful feet. King of the country heard their popularity and invited them to the royal feast. They did the same when came to meet the king. He was impressed by these "saints". The saints prayed for them and went away. Later, in the night, those saints did burglary in the palace.
