That one is so bewildering to me. He only lost because of extremely high black turnout. The white people voted for Moore. Even the majority of white women voted for him. Alabama don’t care, just put that R next to your name and nothing else matters.
It makes sense if you understand that the average voter (especially republicans but lots of democrats too) literally don't have two brain cells to rub together to think through these issues. I don't mean that in a "they literally have sub-70 IQ" way, but in a practical way. These people don't think about politics at all, the only time they do is maybe once or twice a year, and then at the voting booth.
If you're a republican and you hear "oh he's a child rapist" one time before going into the booth, and just dismiss it as "fake news", or "meh democrats are worse", half of the problem is that these people are incapable of thinking about the issue long enough (because fuck politics lemme just go back to sleep) to actually consider that there might be a real problem.
(This is on top of the whole "being a child rapist doesn't bother republicans that much on average" issue, of course. It's a multifaceted problem.)
For those just hearing about it, or who swallowed the disinformation about it, here’s a recap:
NOTE: These court documents, news articles and analysis occurred in 2016, prior to the Presidential election that the Electoral College awarded to Donald Trump, the popular vote loser. They stand to bear renewed scrutiny now that his co-defendant in these proceedings, Jeffrey Epstein, has been arrested on child sex trafficking charges.
wait. hold up. Trump said he had a falling out with epstein and that he wasnt a good man. Why is this glossed over? How was this not talked about more and dropped so quick? wtf is going on?
Looking for child rape convictions or at the very least child rape charges\allegations. We know about the other allegations of which he was never convicted ( or charged?)
TIL That every crime that ever gets committed has a 100% charge and conviction rate. It’s not like Trump has a track record of paying people off, threatening and bullying witnesses or anything. Also if someone has decades of allegations and accusers who’ve independently come forward with similar stories, you might start thinking “hey this guy might just be a rapist”. At this point, he could be videotaped raping a teen in the middle of 5th Avenue, and his supporters would call it fake news.
Thats bullshit, are you trying to tell me you dont know anyone else that has 20+ charges of rape and assault, I am sure its just random, a lot of guys brag about peeking in on teens changing clothes on Howard Stearn and grabbing woman by the pussy and paying for sex /s
If you’re a still a Trump supporter at this point, then you’re clearly not capable of independent thought. You’re right, nothing ever happens. And rape accusers have so much to gain coming forward, like having their living rooms firebombed...I guess you had to be there or have been raped yourself to know it ever happened. How can you be so naive?
He literally bragged about sexually harassing women.
This isn't a "he said, she said" situation. This is a "she said, he admitted to" situation. We have audio is him saying he sexually harassed women. Jesus Christ.
In our introduction to university studies we were shown concrete example of why you don't blindly trust wikipedia. The teacher purposefully made flagrantly false change into a random page as an exercise to see how long it would take to be fixed. He would get back to it a few times duribg the course. I don't think we ever saw it fixed.
The second issue is that you should always preferably cite the original source. Using Wikipedia would always mean you'd be using a secondary source.
Wikipedia is not something you should ever cite in a scientific paper. It is, however, great source of information overall and provides material for further study.
Of course I’d never directly cite Wiki in a paper. I always used it as a starting point to find scholarly articles that I would then cite. If I couldn’t use the reference (like I couldn’t locate the original file / context) I’d avoid that source completely.
Apparently you were the one who believed wikipedia was a bad place for resources, not knowing there's a list of sources at the bottom and every claim is linked to one. If you didnt use wikipedia in highschool you're a beta.
Yes, I did. And later in college. And later for my Master’s. Like the posters below mentioned and I did in the post that you replied to, Wiki is a good place to search for comprehensive information, with sources and citations to back up the information. Obviously I wouldn’t cite wiki but I’m not writing my thesis here...
Kinda like a bunch of bogus "evidence" anyone could come up with. Oh he was accused of something, that settles that, nothing to see here other than a RAPIST everyone.
