A teenage girl reportedly brought video evidence to local police after she caught Republican Mayor of the Village of Butler in Ohio, Wesley Dingus, in her room sniffing underwear
Not a Republican, but I think I’ve got it figured out.
See, they think everyone has these awful, sinful thoughts that they can’t control. When they see trans people living their lives they feel like those trans people are giving into the nasty, sinful thoughts. Or gay people. Or people in interracial relationships. Or really anyone who’s doing something they’ve been told is a naughty, sinful, deplorable thing that no one should do even if it feels good and hurts no one.
So when they see people accepting others who have dirty, naughty, sinful thoughts they assume we’re okay with sin. The conflict arises because we have a different view of sin that is less self-interested. We’re not about punishing people for doing things that feel good and hurts no one, we want to help the people doing things that feel bad, and let people do things that don’t hurt others.
This makes their brains get hot and when their brains get hot they feel angry.
This is the same reason they see homosexuality as a sinful choice, and take issue with homosexuals just simply being alive. They struggled so hard to suppress their homosexual urges, and now these people are flaunting theirs, openly? And the rest of the world wants to celebrate this moral failure, despite it being something that everyone struggles with? I mean the mental gymnastics required to succeed in choosing to be heterosexual, while celebrating someone else who failed to do so is just absolutely insane.
You can see how this all logics together if you assume everyone feels the way you do, and you’re fighting an urge to do something you see as morally wrong. Obviously, abusing your teenage daughters trust to give yourself a mild sexual release is morally wrong, but the point stands. These people play the moral high ground card because they struggle with these thoughts every single day.
I feel a similar thing when I see people doing absolutely immoral things like denying health care coverage and making tons of money doing it. I’ve been taught all my life that if someone asks for help you help them, so seeing someone getting praised and paid for being an asshole pisses me off to no end.
You should consider committing to reading an entire comment before chiming in, next time. Your comment was irrelevant and didn’t really add much to the conversation. Yes, he’s a pedo. No, that’s not relevant to this comment thread, which is discussing the Republican party’s projections.
Oh, he definitely is. Those are the dirty, nasty, sinful thoughts he has. And he needs help for them because it’s not right and he’s hurting people.
But what he’ll get is an overly-emotional testimony in a church where he “repents” and pushes those intrusive thoughts even deeper rather than dealing with them, where they’ll fester and he’ll probably do something worse than sniffing dirty underpants.

“Psychological projection” is a much shorter phrase and describes exactly that, and basically the entirety of right wing, fascist idiology.
And has been since at least the Nazis
Unironically, exactly right.
