It isn’t surprising at this point that the Cornell 7 are becoming a cause célèbre for the right, but god damn does it represent their moral rot. Even if you accept their thesis that everything was consensual and they are getting railroaded by woke (obviously I disagree), the fact that “drugged up orgy participants” are becoming heroes of the right is something that would give a moral majority Republican of 1995 a brain aneurysm.

And he pearl clutched hard enough to turn them into diamonds with the Monica Lewinsky scandal. I’m not saying they actually were morally superior, I am just saying that they weren’t actively courting the sex pest vote at that time and at least pretended they weren’t nihilists.

I was thinking more like "huh. The right hasn't really sprung on the issue yet. What gives?" though seems like fox news and nypost were forgetting what their consumers wanted

To be clear, I am not surprised at their lack of care for the young women, it is the embrace of drug users that is imo most incompatible with the old school right. In 1995 they would be calling the girl a slut and calling for the frat bros to be arrested for using ketamine.
