it's more a sense that public officials and the political class more generally have a high correlation to being surrounded by sexual scandals, even if not actively engaged themselves. Kristi Noems husband was just in the news for one.

It could simply be a reporting bias, obviously, but it could also be real

And we don't think that this is political warfare? In either case?

I'm probably waaaay too distrusting by labeling everything a "psyop unless"

I mean that's one of the interpretations right? that they get targeted for sexual scandal because it lets others wield power over them

Hmm... I think it's more like: there's sick people. These got caught (but too late) and sentenced for horrendous things.

Instead of coming up with a solution to prevent the next little kid or goat getting abused, the politicos would rather use this as political capital to cement their power against their rivals. And do nothing.

Maybe they cannot do anything. So if they can't, why are we talking about some inconsequential politicians that no one will ever remember? It was dumb of me to reply to this post, lol.
