This is really the conservative mindset at its most condensed: zero empathy, and therefore the assumption that everyone is (secretly or not) participating in the same scummy, shameful shit that they’re doing.
They are literally incapable of grasping anything besides: “Anyone who speaks out against something like child abuse/trafficking is actually personally participating in the thing.” They truly can’t comprehend that people actually believe the things they speak out about. It must be virtue signalling and concern trolling. It’s not even a consideration that they may be genuine, because they cannot grasp that concept.
