So this is the second time in as many days that I'm seeing conservatives on FB say something to this effect.  To me this seems like a blatant deflection tactic.  Has anyone else seen this type of stuff and where is it coming from?

Weirdly i just saw it yesterday and i thought the same thing 'what a weird thing to compare'.  It seems that these people also don't understand you can care or be concerned about more than one issue at once

But it's more sinister than that.  It's an intentional movement of the laser pointer so that the cat's attention is directed elsewhere.

Oh it absolutely is.  It's the 'all lives matter' now that 'all lives matter' has been shouted down as racist claptrap

 
I would have gone with Heart Disease (600,000-700,000 dead Americans per year) but that works too

If it brings attention to sex trafficking thats a good thing I guess

 
Do you guys just not curate your social media at all, or do you deliberately seek out stupid people to follow?  I literally never see this kind of stuff.
family from texas unfortunately so it's littered with pro-trump, pro-conspiracy, all lives matter junk

 
Smells a bit like those QAnon nutters.  Just wondering out loud if there have been 4 million abductions and 142,000 deaths from child abductions in the past 4 months.  

 
I want to counter with my own series of "The Real Pandemic..."

"The real pandemic......are left wing extremists tearing down our monuments."

Have friends from college who I know were (at least when it came to school and books) pretty intelligent people.  Several of them have posted stuff like this and one is at least borderline a Qanon type now.  That guy was a near straight 8 mechanical engineering major.  Had done quite well for himself too.  Not at all one you would think of as dumb or gullible.  But yet...he is pushing this type of stuff yes.

 
No you can't. I did find if I just started completely ignoring some of them my life got better. 
Oh, I've got a good portion of them on unfollow or completely unfriended.  I'm somewhat close to my sister which is why I check her page from time to time and found that. 

Life ain't easy as the religious and political black sheep of a large Evangelical family.  

 
Part of me always feels like i can reason with them.  Actually had one of the grandkids (who is in her mid 20s) tell her grandmother in not very nice words that because she doesn't support trump she will never let her see her grand kids again.  She used a lot of trump talking points in the rant she posted publicly on a post the grandmother put up.  The grandmother had trump derangement syndrome, she should get her brain tested, she for illegal immigrants raping children etc....it was quite the paragraph

My wife's best friend posts non-stop about this. Its definitely a deflection tactic and so annoying. I ended up blocking her on Facebook. The problem is she is putting these thoughts into my wife's head non-stop and now my wife is starting to sound like her. We have had numerous arguments about the pandemic being a conspiracy and that child sex trafficking is the real problem we should be focusing on. Of course, when President Trump said he wishes Ghillaine Maxwell well, not a peep on Facebook about that.

 
I see on Twitter replies (not anyone I follow) that it's an accepted truth among sooooo many (hopefully bots) that Trump has been cracking down so hard on sex trafficking. Is this just the spread that Q has had or is there something legitimate to this? I know he signed in some efforts to help trafficking enforcement but is it really this huge mission that's greatly increased our success? If so, how comes he doesn't talk about it? 

 
The President is literally offering supporting words to someone who is credibly accused of child sex trafficking.

And it doesn't even faze his loyal supporters.

 
Fantastic level crazy underneath the FB meme.  Unfortunately the crazy is coming from my sister...

Responder:  I in no way deny sex trafficking and it’s horrors, but wonder why you say that’s the real pandemic, as if COVID isn’t? Why can’t COVID be the pandemic and child sex trafficking me a horrible reality that we need to face? The language word play is trou… 

Poster:   Because COVID is going away, but sex trafficking is not. In fact, it’s getting worse and everyone wearing masks is going to make it a lot harder to identify victims and the people taking these kids.

Responder:   I don’t think these things need to be in competition with each. Sex trafficking is real, horrible and has been under represented, but I think we do the entire public a disservice by using the pandemic word association. I don’t think wearing masks is the real reason sex trafficking isn’t going away...it’s peoples apathy, not wanting to talk about hard things, and wanting easy answers. It would be easier if wearing masks were the real problem, but it’s just not...

Poster:   Wearing masks is not the reason, but it sure is making it easier for traffickers to get away with it and not be identified.

 
This isn't an either/or thing....both are terrible things that actually exist in this country.  The attempt to use it as a deflection is pretty disgusting.  I brought up the issues in Sri Lanka when all the catholic church stuff in Ireland erupted.  No one seemed to want to discuss it then.

I tangetially work in that world and am unaware of any sort of specific/new law or policies implemented by Trump.

His supporters, if my facebook friends are any indication, seem to somehow separate Trump from the issue in its entirety. Which is alarming giving that the current sentiment seem to be that child sex trafficking is the most important issue facing the nation. 

 
The person has concluded that wearing a mask makes it easier to abduct children and force them into the sex trade.

The fact that there have been exactly zero reports of this, is not relevant in any way.
I'm sure there was a random vlogger who has researched the topic fiercely and has distributed his findings to a few enlightened subscribers on Youtube.  The rest of us are just blind sheeple.

But you guys are still poisoning your brains with this stuff.  Healthy people don't dwell on this sort of thing.

 
This whole child sex trafficking seems to be gaining steam amongst the right wingers.  Here's another post:

"Crazy how the internet cannot eliminate child pornography, the root demand for child trafficking, but can censor, block, and delete all "conspiracy theories" and facts.  Oh, & contact trace those who've been in contact with Covid, but not those who steal and molest kids."

At least they got the "crazy" part right.  

 
As somebody who has worked in the world of the online badness, I genuinely think that governments, law enforcement agencies, and even private companies (e.g. pinterest, facebook, lawful porn websites, etc.) do a damn good job of regulating child pornography. 

With things like the dark web, private filing sharing software, etc. it's impossible to eliminate it completely.

That and...the crazy dr lady videos are back...you can't silence the truth.

Those seem to be getting a lot of run.
