Meinung: Unterstützung für Trump übersieht und lehnt sexuellen Missbrauch ab | Es ist erstaunlich, wie viele Bürger und Nachbarn bereit sind, das verdorbene Verhalten des Präsidentschaftskandidaten in Kauf zu nehmen.
Opinion: Support for Trump overlooks and dismisses sexual abuse
45 Comments
All these trump voters try to complain about criminal immigrants but they’re perfectly happy to vote a criminal sex offender and 34 time felon with many more cases currently on trial into the white house.
I put MAGAts in the same bucket as anti-vaxxers.
And associate with them as little as humanly possible.
The cognitive dissonance of the Republican voter is astounding.
I appreciate this author and article, but honestly this needs to be published somewhere much bigger than Portland Press Herald.
Astonishing that this is not one of the top headlines across mainstream outlets.
This is surely the number one mystery about the popularity of Trump – a man who has a long history of sexual misconduct.
What sort of message does turning a blind eye to his sex offences send to young boys growing up who might think it’s therefore OK to mistreat women? After all, it can’t be that serious because look where it’s got Trump – into the White House for a second time.
And what sort of message does turning a blind eye to his sex offences send to young girls growing up who find themselves in a world where it is no longer considered a big deal for a man to sexually abuse a woman?
And that’s even before we get onto the topic of his relentless lying and the fact that he is a convicted felon.
Many Americans are deeply, deeply racist, and Trump panders to them.
That’s the ball game.
In some distant future they’ll deny they supported him, because they’re fucking cowards with no strength in their convictions.
All those Trump voters, is that still a result of the mental impairment of the hookworm?

Because they don’t believe it. I work with a supporter and every single bad thing trump has ever done didn’t happen. Point out trump tried to raise money for J6ers and he can hold in his head the idea trump was raising money for patriots and it was antifa that did j6 at the same time
It’s amazing how many *christians*, overlook the abuse, assault, adultery, fraud, lies, and blasphemy.
Ignorant RW voters deliberately ignore the immoral, unethical, and criminal character/behavior of Trump and just want to focus exclusively on the economy and the border.
GQP lawmakers just want to stay in power, and they want Trump to win, so all they talk about are these two issues, too. *”Trump would win easily if he just stayed on these two issues.”*
A jury unanimously ruled that Trump raped EJ Carroll! If that’s not enough, he also led a riot on J6. He was impeached twice; he faces many serious felonies, including espionage. He was recently convicted on 34 felonies and is facing sentencing for those crimes, and he’s a lifelong criminal.
There are a lot of things we don’t know about Trump, like accepting bribes from foreign leaders; selling pardons; violating emoluments clauses, etc., but we know for certain that he has a long criminal, immoral, and unethical history that disqualifies him from holding the highest office.
He’s a picture of colonial times rapist thief liar.
The list of this guys failings is long and ugly.
If the shoe were on the other foot and the Democratic Party kept nominating some Loony Tunes ass dirtbag criminal mother fucker while the Republicans had some reasonable, morally decent candidate like Romney, McCain, etc., you bet your ass I’d vote for the Republican until the Democratic Party either got their shit sorted or was replaced (and preferably the latter since there’s really no coming back from some of this reprehensible shit). I don’t understand why these people can’t do the same.
They have, for a long time, held literally everyone else to a different standard than *their own kind*. They excuse violence rape and even child exploitation if its maga but make up imaginary crimes against you if you are anything or anyone else
They support a RAPIST.
MAGA part of the population is a tribe , living and acting by tribal rules.
They’ve done it for their fathers, husbands, and sons for years. What’s the difference?
“but he is a child rapist, a convicted felon, a traitor of the nation”
“yeah ok but I ain’t voting democrat”
They only care about that stuff if the OTHER guy is doing it.
The “religious right” folks always ignore sexual abuse. This is 💯 who they are.
While watching football yesterday, there were many many commercials about Kamala and her trans views that were obviously edited. Why are there no commercials featuring pictures of Trump with Epstein? No commercials with statements about Trump’s bankruptcies? No January 6 commercials? No mention of him being held liable for rape? No commercial featuring his famous just grab them in the P actually recorded quote?
Don’t also forget his Nazi propaganda. Blaming a countries problem on another race, we should have learned to never let this happen but here we are with people accepting this
Trumpers would turn their head for cash while children get molested. See ya at church so we can toss another scripture salad.
Quick we need to interview them in a rural diner so we can learn to understand they are just economically anxious
Every time I see one of those commercials saying that the democrats are letting in criminals and rapists I just want to say “ your candidate for president of the united states is a criminal and rapist” Why don’t they democrats make commercials saying that?
People who still support Trump after all of this can’t be saved.
Tens of Millions have decided that Trump is either God’s Other, Better Son, or God Incarnate. As a Divine being, Nothing that Trump does can be a Sin, let alone illegal. There is nothing no matter how depraved that they won’t accept from their God/Messiah.
I mean, I remember when something as innocent as a consensual blowjob would ruin your political career
Trump supporters likely think that every indictment on Trumo’s crimes are fabricated and attempts at framind and smearing him. In other words, they likely see all of it as fake news and believe Trump to be norally pure. That’s one possibility.
Other possibilities include the idea that Harris will bring Stalinism to the USA and, ban religion, persecute Christians in particular and make it a crime to not be a gay furry or to not support ritual abortions or whatever.
Everyone who’s willing to vote for this guy is just as bad as he is.
It’s pretty cool. Those same people will tell you that Kamala slept with powerful people and that makes her unqualified. Who cares what liars say? Don’t give them your ear
My mother blowing me off about his rapes when I was raped in 2016, then blowing me off about abortion rights while I underwent a d&c for a miscarriage in 2024. Her tremendous empathy and support for me stops suddenly at his behavior.
“He’s better for the economy. I don’t know about you but I had more money in my pocket when he was president.”
🤦🏼♂️
This is what I keep hearing from people. Stupid. Soooo stupid.
I mean, he also tried to overthrow the government. Several different ways. People are willing to make allowances not only for a rapist who was buds with Epstein, but for a guy who will argue with a straight face that laws shouldn’t apply to him.
Even if he’s not elected, it’s difficult to be optimistic about the future of a country with 70-odd million voters who are okay with this stuff.
I think something is a bit overlooked here – when you’re in the cult and want out, you probably know it’s best to wait for an opportunity to make your move when you know you’ll be safe. In other words, don’t rock the boat.
Surviving members of the People’s Temple said they knew things were going sideways, that Jim Jones wasn’t the guy he said he was. But, it was only until Congressman Leo Ryan’s visit to Jonestown did they have the chance to ask for safe passage out of there… which, unfortunately turned out to be not as safe for some.
That safe space for trump cultists is the voting booth (which is why we saw “can my husband find out who I vote for” on Google an actual thing).
People overlooking his abuses says a lot about their personal character. Put themselves in his place. What if your spouse was acting like he does?
Say it with me……..ITS A FUCKING CULT
Is there better evidence that people want laws to target *people they don’t like*, and not *behavior they don’t like*?
There are many Republicans that know what he’s done and know he’s a degenerate fuck, and they still will pencil him in when they vote.
That says a lot about their character
A rapist and be President of the USA?
No visitor would qualify for a VISA to enter into the USA with a criminal record such as that.
Totally preposterous.
When you recognize the whole party actually believes certain people deserve to behave a certain way and certain women deserve to be raped.
It’s the party of white male supremacy. This is the guy who will put their interests first and recognize they deserve more than other people. We wont be able to address it until we actually call it what it is.
Send the Trump family to Russia.
It’s a cult.
His cultists could care less about his many crimes as long as he trolls and harms the people they hate.
