      My guess is a combination of things:

      Capitalism elevates the amoral, meaning those with power tend to be willing to do whatever they like,

      Predators mostly know it's in their interest to help each other predate, as we can see in the Boy Scouts of America as well as basically every church,

      Rich fucks tend/learn to love power imbalances, and I suppose that a kid is about the most powerless kind of person around,

      Plus, our intelligence agencies have given no indication that they're above leveraging pedophiles as assets. We know they use pressure to influence how power is wielded and by whom - if they know a candidate is a pedo for instance, I think they'd be more likely to bolster that candidate's odds.

    My conspiracy theory - this is how Biden knew he had covid. He went to sniff some kid and realised he’d lost his sense of smell.

      Acknowledging creeps in power doesn't have to involve an Ancient Satanic Jewish Pedophile Cannibal Cabal controlling everything.

      It can just be that creeps are easy to blackmail and thus good picks for powerful positions, from the standpoint of wanting to influence them by blackmail. That, and predators' tendency to help each other maintain dominion over prey.

      Right wing meme?

      Joe Biden does have a weird problem with touching women and on occasion, swelling them. Just because the chuds say it doesn't make it not true

      I don't think it's a stretch to assume Tara Reade was telling the truth and Blue MAGA did everything they could to shut her down. Also it's seemingly extremely common for a large chunk of the ruling class to engage in sex predator behavior. Power does fucky things to human's brains.

      biden is a creep and a rapist and if you're "on the left" you shouldn't feel compelled to defend Biden because he's not left wing anyway, lol
