There are non US citizens influencing our elections, they’re called corporations.

The establishment wants us to not focus on this.

For bonus points - the youngest child marriage in Alabama in recent years was 13.
Because there are 600 child marriages a year in Alabama.
Just in case you're thinking "this must be for young sweethearts who get pregnant", one of them was a 74 year old man with a 14 year old girl.

Don’t put this on the kids. Kids report and adults do nothing. The chances of anyone getting prosecuted are slim. Look around you at the Epstein child rape business. There’s STILL NO ONE BEING PROSECUTED.

This is also (at the moment anyway) political posturing, since SCOTUS banned the death penalty for crimes other than murder 50 years ago.

This was a concern cited by Justice Anthony Kennedy in Kennedy v Louisiana in 2008, which declared the death penalty in these cases unconstitutional. There’s also the fear this will make it more likely for a victim to be killed by their abuser.
As a child protection professional, I can tell you the death penalty is NOT an awesome solution to child sexual abuse. Most children are abused by family members; they will not report if their family members will die as a result.

it’s a Democratic Super Majority in the Senate that can end it all…

Achieving 60 seats in the Senate this Midterm would be a Herculean feat.

But they could remove them ALL!!!…

Let's be done with the "if there even *IS* an election" gotcha. We know. The thought has occurred to all of us. It's unhelpful. I'm going to continue behaving as if I'm not powerless—as if totalitarianism isn't inevitable. Because it's not, and I'm not.

Evangelical Americans who fear Islam taking over the United States, I would argue that by that rationale, by the numbers they should be much more fearful of Catholics taking over. Because there are lot more Catholics than Muslims in America and most evangelicals don’t see Catholics as Christian.
