  I could easily imagine the swivel-eyed outrage from the Conservasphere at anyone daring to make such a suggestion, though.
  Which would conveniently ignore the attempted murder of the current House Speaker, and the assault on said Speaker's partner. >
  
  Meanwhile over at r/conservative people are congratulating him. >
  
  Fuck, that subreddit is complete trash. >
  
  Don’t bring up Ukraine over there either, they’ll spam your inbox asking if you enjoy sucking Zelenskys dick. Not only are they dumb, but they’re also really weird. >
  
  Considering how badly conservatives want to share photos of Hunter Biden's penis, conservatives having an oral fixation on Zelenskyy's penis isn't at all surprising. >
  
  They have a very big fetish for anything sexual. We all can agree that child exploitation is absolutely horrible, but I find how often they bring that up to be, well, incredibly fucking creepy. Some don’t seem to be able to answer any interview questions, related to child exploitation or not, without interjecting it. Climate change questions, bring up exploitation. Economy, exploitation. Inflation, exploitation. It’s a bit insane to constantly have child exploitation at the forefront of one’s mind. >
  
  I don't think it is so much about sex, but about power. Conservatives are all about where they fit in a hierarchy, and the focus on exploitation is about making sure they hoard all the power and share none of it. 
  Reducing women, children and gay/trans people into sexual objects diminishes the humanity of those individuals so that they may be more easily weaponized. This is why Abbot likes trafficking Mexican immigrants to Washington D.C. in freezing cold temperatures; conservatives lack empathy and do not see others who are not like them as people. 
  Coincidentally, I would posit that this lack of empathy in conservatives render them less human than the rest of us, so maybe we should be treating them in kind. >
  
  It’s striking to me how conservatives are completely unable to comprehend thought experiments that require compassion or empathy for other people.
  If you try and reason with them by saying something like “well how would you like it if someone did X to your family?” they won’t even entertain the notion or reply with a legitimate response. They’ll scoff, immediately deflect answering the question, call the person a snowflake, and respond with their own hypothetical that makes absolutely no sense with regard to the topic being discussed. It’s like how Trump said he’s basically the same person now as he was in first grade. These people never developed the emotional maturity one would expect a functioning adult to possess. >
  
  It’s because they consider themselves the ruling class.  Any question of placing themselves in the shoes of someone less fortunate is like asking them what a gorilla in a zoo must feel. >
  
  It's not a "cruel stunt".  It's a crime.  In DC, this would be attempted aggravated assault, maybe.  In a lot of states, it'd be reckless endangerment, but DC doesn't have that exact statute.
  If the immigrants didn't want to go, then it's kidnapping, and since some of them were children and this is clearly immoral, seems like a Mann Act violation.
  Abbott commited several different felonies against a whole bunch of victims, and conspiracy charges ought to attach, not just to him but to others involved.
  This shit is outright illegal.  The media and the Democrats do no one any service by prancing around that. >
  
  This is the second post I've seen citing the Mann Act. Can somebody explain this act to me? I lack context >
  
  The Mann Act is a law that was signed in 1910 that made it illegal to transport women and girls across state lines to engage in prostitution. It addresses human trafficking, but at the time it was mainly intended to address and prevent interstate prostitution. >
  
  Supposedly, at the time, it was established to arrest the late great Jack Johnson. First black Heavyweight champion of the world that openly slept with white women in the the mid 1910s. >
  
  After he beat a white boxer that came out of retirement to end the so called "Black Menace". Jack Johnson was a fucking beast.
