You’ve heard it over and over from the right. A constant drumbeat of fake moral panic. Pedophiles are everywhere. Groomers in your schools. Men dressed like women in your bathrooms. A secret cabal of blood-drinking monsters controlling the world and trafficking children.

The right is swarming with actual pedophiles and the problem is getting worse by the day. Furthermore, we are starting to get a clearer picture of just how baked into right-wing thought this is becoming.
