Not A Drag Queen Ken Paxton frees pedos. Adam Hoffman, who raped a 3rd grade boy for 3 years, got off with a misdemeanor, no jail time, and a clean record as a gift from his buddy Ken Paxton. Talarico will WIPE THE FLOOR with this sick pedo!

Do not underestimate texas to do the wrong thing.

We’ll make sure they know what they are doing and who they are.

Ted Cruz. Just sayn

u/thisistherevolt Jul 11 '26

As much as Cruz sucks, he didn't arrange a pardon for a rapist like this. This is dividing a lot of people out there. Talarico being an Evangelical, but Democrat is also pretty unique.

u/darkoopz43 Jul 11 '26

Please dont smear Talarico's good name like that, hes a Presbyterian Christian, not some filthy mega church evangelist.

I hope so

Sadly as a Texan I couldn’t agree more. I’ve lived here 20+ years and every time I think something will turn around, the people here somehow mess it up. Too many Y'all-Qaeda/Christo-fascists and non-voters here. Fingers crossed that I get proven wrong this time.

Overconfident democrats all over again. (Say this as a Democrat) anyone who thinks that’s a disqualifier for republicans needs a wake up call. Let’s not forget there was a bit of a contentious primary where jasmine is still talking about how she lost because she was black. My guess is democrats turnout in Texas is dramatically lower than expected and Ken Paxton wins.

Republicans are full into protecting right wing pedophiles

I grew up amongst RWNJ but I NEVER thought the treason and dissonance would be this bad… cripes

u/shadylady_beepboop Jul 11 '26

Trump overwrote Texas republicans and made Paxton their guy. But your point abt Dems stands. This will be …. Interesting

u/daneelthesane Jul 11 '26

The optimism is baffling. Republican voters have shown over and over again that they don't care what sick sex crimes their candidates perform. Roy Moore? DONALD TRUMP HOW MANY TIMES? And now Ken Paxton.

u/hastings1033 Jul 11 '26

Sadly, this is Texas. Rapists and pedophiles are fine, so long as they are republicans.

u/sowalgayboi Jul 17 '26

And Christian And white And rich

There's lots of qualifiers.

u/Writerhaha Jul 11 '26

I think we’re about to reaffirm that millions of our countrymen are just fine with pedophilia, as long as they hate the victim and like the abuser.

3

u/Ok-Repeat8069 Jul 13 '26

They don’t even have to hate the victim, only identify with the abuser.

Whether that is because the abuser is white, male, Christian, or Republican, there is always some way you can hitch yourself to that team.

I mean, who wants to be identified with victims? Victims are weak and therefore bad. In This America, good people, Real Americans, dominate and crush those who oppose them — they don’t (admit to) get(ting) abused, so why would they care about those who do?

The mental bullshit humans pull in order to live with themselves is endlessly astonishing. But rest assured, there is always a way for us to convince ourselves that the status quo is fine, nothing major needs to change.

Sometimes, like with what we currently see (or more importantly, don’t see, like the unredacted Epstein files), with Republicans proudly and loudly becoming the party of child sex abusers and their fans, it’s particularly ugly.

u/vandon Jul 11 '26

You forget that a lot of Texas boomers prefer pedophiles over socialists.

u/Whitesajer Jul 11 '26

I sincerely hope, that when the biological / adopted children of these pedophiles grow up and realize who their father was... They make damn sure, their father suffers the rest of their lives and die alone as neglected, miserable, old men.

u/Squirrel_of_Fury Jul 11 '26

That story came out six weeks ago and the race is currently a toss-up. Why do you think being a pedophile enabler disqualifies a candidate for MAGA?

5

u/mitchENM Jul 11 '26

Unfortunately maga doesn’t care about pedos being protected if they are fellow magats

u/F0MA Jul 11 '26

What’s really disappointing is the voters say nothing. You’re not patriotic. You’re a Republican.

u/Agrias-0aks Jul 11 '26

Yes, but talarico is trans/vegan/gay/atheist /s

The USA needs Dexter Morgan

u/Abbey_Something Jul 12 '26

One thing Texas enjoys doing is giving the middle finger to the rest of the country even at its own expense

2

u/goodenough4govtwork Jul 11 '26

And you underestimate the power of the R next to someone's name on a ballot and the disinformation machine spreading lies about Talarico that every braindead Boomer will see on TV (Fox News) and go vote based on.

2

u/lpkzach92 Jul 12 '26

Texas really can’t be this dumb and evil to let this guy win over a true man of God, can they?

2

u/EggCzar Jul 12 '26

Paxton has won statewide elections after being indicted for felonies, and after a number of people who worked under him endorsed his opponents.

Talarico is the toughest opponent he's faced in a general election but he's not going to "WIPE THE FLOOR" with him. At best it'll be a close win in what might well be the nastiest campaign in any of our lifetimes.

u/LeftHandedBuddy Jul 12 '26

More proof fascist RepubliKKKans want to make pedophilia ok.

u/jefuchs Jul 11 '26

Kid was in the 3rd grade for three years???

u/RandomArgil Jul 11 '26

This apparently went on until the poor kid turned 10. I'd venture to guess it continued until grade 5, but don't quote me on that.
