      When Q-Anon spreads baseless pedophile ring accusations it’s ridiculed but apparently doing the exact same thing for their side is fair game. Great display of double standards yet again.

        Trump is appointing a pedo to be Attorney General.

        Trump is a pedo.

        One is a lie is based on projection and the other is pointing out that pedos are pedos.

          They have not been officially found guilty in the court of law [designed to protect them]—how dare you besmirch their good name

          I don’t think that calling someone a pedophile is any more convincing than calling them a nazi. If anything, that’ll just make them dig their heels deeper.

              Do you think they’re going to accept that he is one when the accusation is coming from someone on the left? I doubt it.

                  I don’t think it’s that they don’t listen to anyone. People generally are open to hear different views as long as it’s done in good faith rather that in the form of accusations. Nobody wants to hear from someone who openly treats them as second class citizens. If you treat them with dignity and are open to hear their views as well you’re far more likely to get them to reflect on their own views too. Daryl Davis is a good example of this.
