Can someone explain to me how it went from "All 
s are libertarians! Secret child eating libertarians run the shadow government!!" to this?:
We need to talk about the accusation "Matt Gaetz is a libertarian."

I know little about Matt Gaetz, and don't have an opinion about whether he is a qualified nominee to be Attorney General. I'm also not here to make a pro-Trump or anti-Trump political point; I want to address anβ¦
Also these are literally the Republicans current top guys:

You should be like an adult in training by 17. Treating them like children prevents them from maturing, especially in a period of their lives where it's mature now or never.

In most countries, the law already treats teens like "adults in training". Stuff like child labour laws no longer apply or apply less, you can make big purchases without an adult, you can get a license to drive, etc. It's just with the whole "fricking teens" thing, the law (rightfully so in my opinion) would like to err on the side of caution when it comes to preventing sexual exploitation of minors.

So...we need to prevent the sexual exploitation of minors by letting them do every adult thing except the one thing most people are doing at the age were discussing?

You make it sound like they're not allowed to frick. They can frick each other as much as they want. Just you as an adult should stay out of that business.
Why does every discussion about the AoC invite you pseudo-libertarians to act in the most obtuse way possible?

How am I being obtuse? You're mature enough at that age for adult interactions at work, when buying or selling things, joining up for the military when the recruiter comes to school, and so on. Why is it an issue when it comes to this one thing?

Because being exploited in order to make you buy a couch or whatever tends to carry less severe damages than getting sexually exploited, I guess.
And when it comes to the whole military thing, that's your burger-specific autism and in my view really more of an issue with the military and not an argument for lower AoC.

Nobody is getting severely damaged having s*x at an age where most people have s*x. You need to touch grass.
Jump in the discussion.

You need to talk with more people who were taken advantage of sexually at a young age by someone much older.
Also the fricking hilarity of telling me to touch grass while arguing that really, fricking kids isn't all that bad. Take that opinion out into the world of grass-touchers, see how that plays out.

You're trying to treat two completely different things like they're the same. How are you being taken advantage of sexually when you're old enough to have s*x unless you're being coerced or trafficked? "Hey, this person knows how too be appealing and get laid. YOU'RE BEING R*PED SO HARD IF YOU SLEEP WITH THEM!"

no it should definitely still be a crime. but it's not the same crime as if she was 12.

12 year old generally don't start having s*x all on their own, and don't do any adult things like someone the age we're talking about would. The thing that would make 12 objectionable is completey absent.

Well, if we lower the age of consent to 17, people are going to argue to lower it to 16, then to 15, etc, etc. There needs to be a hard line somewhere and since American society has decided that adulthood is at
182125 the age of consent should be that.Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
That somewhere is in the mid-teens, when most people start having s*x, which is what the AOC is practically everywhere. Notice how you made that joke about how what age is considered grown keeps going up. People aren't coming out more mature or "adult." Just the opposite.
We have to risk people going a little too young to keep people mentally healthy and mature. We do have about as hard of a line for when people are mature enough about s*x as possible, so why should we continue this trend of not letting people gain the experience needed to actually grow up?

Notice how people keep calling Gaetz a libertarian to discredit everything he's involved in? Making everything into something bad enables this, since people will avoid supporting something good to avoid being called a libertarian sympathizer or something.

What is particularly good about Gaetz? He's a trolly r-slur who dodged a statutory r*pe (this is why he's a libertarian btw (and yes hebiejeebiephile is just a euphemism for libertarian)) conviction and is getting recommended for a promotion because he gives orange man good head.

He opposed the antisemitism bill, for starters, he helped oust McCarthy, and he rubs enough establishment politicians that he just happened to get smeared over bullshit s*x trafficking charges. At worst, he might make it hard for people I hate to do things that hurt me, and at best, he might bring down the hammer on as many of those people as possible.

Bro, we just went through several years of political prosecutions. Even Polymarket's CEO was arrested because too many people on there bet on Orange Hitler Part Ii.
Did you catch how FEMA admitted their people had been given instructions to skip homes after the NC floods if they had Trump flags out front? Or how the FBI went after parents who raised a fuss at PTA meetings? The Feds have been even more out of control than usual, and prison time would scare others considering doing anything like that.
