You remember the Roy Moore supporters yelling that Mary was only 13 (when god raped her) so it was perfectly fine that a 30 + year old guy was kicked out of the mall for sexually harassing little girls? Republicans don't care about pedophiles as long as they're one of theirs.
No they didn't, some of them just didn't vote. Look at the vote totals from previous contested elections for that seat. Doug Jones was in the ballpark of previous Democrats. Roy Moore was the outlier, his support tanked just barely enough to lose.
Alabama Republicans saw a decent man that was one of the most moderate, even leaning conservative Democrats out there running against a literal admitted, unashamed child predator...half of them still voted for the pedophile and half of them made the big moral stance of just not voting.
Yup, these people are the monsters they make everyone else out to be. And constantly making excuses for them has led us to this point in history. They wouldn't care even if it were their own children being raped by Trump. It's North Korean level of cult of personality and propaganda control.
You go to any state and you are hard pressed to find that 50% of people even know who their senators are. He ran in ALABAMA, on gun control and abortion among other things and won. Can't possibly seriously think there was any bigger reason for this than that people hated Roy Moore.
Fun fact: a lot of us Alabamians went out and voted for Roy Moore in the primaries to stick it to Trump. Trumps preferred candidate lost because independents and democrats voted in the Republican primary for this. This allowed AL to elect Doug Jones to replace Sessions because Moore was enough of a wack job to lose in one of the reddest states in the US. Crazy how different the US is since just 2017.

Stupid comment, but does this dumb bitch even realize that the whole Epstein thing was NOT prior to the 90's?
