I kinda feel like at this point the bourgeois power is consolidated enough that they could just do this shit in the open and feel no repercussion. Trump and Clinton could both go on TV and say “yeah we fuck kids, fucking love it, I fact we just got down fucking a kid before filming this” and it’d have like zero impact on anything. So why not just let the little twerp squeal? Wtf does it matter?
they want people to respect them
