It's kinda weird they just immediately took over his entire platform to use . It's almost like this all kind of unexpectedly worked out to their advantage...
Unrelated, but do you think this crackdown will be aimed at censoring all forms of activism?
Bc I'm very interested in creating new organizations similar to Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD). Like I have an idea for one called Mothers Against Pedophelia (MAP). You don't have to be a mother to join, and we're definitely not a political organization. Just mothers (and others) who organize to strongly seek an end to pedophilia and prevent any pedophiles in positions of authority from being able to harm more children, whoever those pedophiles might be.
Like will this administration also try to keep MAP from protecting our children? I sure hope not. I just can't imagine the kind of world where anyone could ever (publicly) admit to preventing mothers from protecting children from pedophiles? Won't somebody think about the children!?!
I wonder what other kinds of non political organizations might be popping up in the near future?
Protecting pedophiles os one of this administration's highest priority objectives so yes, as soon as a pedophile of means finds themselves in some way affected.
I'm not sure if I'm missing a joke here, but definitely do not use MAP as your acronym. Pedophiles already took that one.
? Never heard of it. I mean there's also Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), but I think we can make it pretty clear what our organization stands for.
But, I would also hope we would inspire several offshoots. We could have Christians Against Pedophelia (CAP) and demand our religious freedom be respected by holding interfaith prayer breakfasts in schools to raise awareness.
I think there are probably plenty of non political groups that don't support pedophelia, and it terrifies me to know that our government could potentially interfere with our freedom of expression by trying to force us into silence at a time when powerful pedophiles with leadership positions in government, banks, and big corporations are being protected.
If I thought this was just a joke I would have taken a page from DOGE and suggested something like Families Against Pedophelia (FAP). I'm not joking though, I find it pretty upsetting that our own leaders might expect us to just be silent when it comes to protecting those who need the most protection. Especially while the powerful people who are harming them appear to be receiving some kind of government protection. We now have confirmation about who was involved, and we just need enough of the people that we elected and trusted with their positions of power to confirm they don't want to protect pedophiles by releasing the financial information that shows exactly what transpired between these rich and powerful people.
I understand Vance doesn't want any political violence, and neither do I. Thats why this isn't a political organization. In fact, this actually seems like an issue that should bring all of America together. I would welcome anyone regardless of political party or personal faith to join us demanding pedophiles be removed from their positions of power and influence. I would hope Vance himself would be against pedophiles if he was asked directly by our organizations. If not, I would want to know why?
Minor-Attracted Person is an euphemism with LGBTQ+ aesthetics
Walter White in back seat of car: Jesse! Don't abbreviate Mothers Against Pedophilia! Jesse!!"
That would be a libel lawsuit
