This is how the GOP works now. If they can’t get you to back down, they’ll go after your family. And it’s a pretty successful intimidation tactic. It’s gotten congressmen to refuse to vote or even speak against Trump out of fear of retribution. It got Hunter Biden convicted. It got one of their own state senators to quit the race once Trump and his followers decided he wasn’t Trumpy enough for their liking.
But what’s more important is what effects it has downstream. Prominent politicians have resources at their disposal to handle threats, and even they still have to worry about this shit. Your average joe doesn’t stand a chance in hell. How the hell is your average joe supposed to protect themselves against a lone wolf attacker that could strike anywhere without warning? Where are they going to get the money for security? Are they just supposed to quit their jobs and go into hiding every time they get doxxed? Your average joe has absolutely no chance in hell of surviving the Trump Hate Machine, and no way to gather the resources necessary to even try if Trump wakes up tomorrow morning and decide that, for whatever reason, they’re the new target of the day? Ask the two election workers from GA how it is.
The GOP knows this and are capitalizing on it. They want the message to be loud and clear: Get on board, or get run over. They’ve attacked multiple family members of multiple people with infinitely more resources than you to get their results, and they’ll go after you and your family too.
These are the tactics of organized crime. These are the tactics of today’s GOP.
Trump is a wannabe Tony Soprano.
Holy shit.
In a weird way, this story is so loathsome that it goes beyond ideology.
Yes - the ideologies are obviously exactly what one would expect, and that’s a relevant bit of information.
But really, the story boils down to “Decent human being defends child against foul monster’s attacks.” It’s almost as if ideology is a secondary thing - this Gomez doesn’t even qualify as a human being.
The vitriol here is obviously learned as well. This “gay = groomer” bullshit is I think what she was going for, because she thinks anything but penis+vagina means gay and groomer? So fucking ignorant.
Valentina Gomez.
Token waiting to get spent.
“That woman tried to come after me and I responded by stating the truth. There’s no such thing as a trans child. I stand by my words: she raised a groomer and failed her children. I’ve already caught one pedophile, and I am coming for the rest of groomers and pedophiles that sexualize, groom and indoctrinate our innocent children,” Gomez wrote."
You’re a fucking pedophile if your response to the existence of a trans child is thinking they’re being sexualized. Children are not sexual objects, regardless of gender. You don’t get to fuck them, miss Gomez. Fucking leave children alone you sicko.
Considering their choice for president, they don’t give a shit about pedophiles or children being raped. They support a child rapist. They don’t get to accuse others of pedophilia for no reason at all when they support a person who literally raped children.
This shit coming from the party that would freak out if you mentioned Baron in any way, positive, negative or even neutral, is fucking rich.
