it's up to 1410!

If I were to make a protest poster with this information, what pithy statement would be the best combination of true and impactful? I was thinking, "Protect children and women?! 1410 identified Republican sexual predators!"
Could the language get more specific but stay true? These aren't all convicted offenses, right? They also weren't so government officials, some just identify as Republican?
How about "1410 known cases, and we estimate that there may be more, between 20001 and 20550" which is the zip code distribution for Washington DC
It's clunky but I feel like there's something there
some real inside-the-beltway digs there. nice
PEDOS? SEE: CONSERVATIVES
PROTECT THE CHILDREN: NEVER ELECT CONSERVATIVES
I guess I should also first ask how many Democrats are on a similar list...
by all means, please, post a contrasting list.
Please. Here's the thing you smoothbrained pedolovers don't comprehend: we would LOVE to see pedos OF ALL POLITICAL STRIPES get convicted - because we're not brainwashed to think in terms of TEAMS. We're not on the team that re-elected a self admitted grab'em by the pussy sex offender. That was all you. Great fucking job btw.
I doubt you'll be able to post any such doc, but please, if you can, do so. I'll despise them as much - if not more - than I despise all 1400+ of the perverted conservatives, preachers and GOP shitbags on that list.
I just NEED all the liberals and centrists to remember shit like this anytime the right tries to get righteous about protecting children or claiming minority groups are grooming kids etc.
They literally don't give a shit about harm to kids, thir "team" are the worst perpetrators of it and they don't hold them accountable in the slightest.
it's ALWAYS projection with them. They don't give two shits about kids, or women, they just use them as excuses to persecute whomever is on their culture war bullshit list
