Are there even any other politicians with this trend of getting uncomfortably close with young girls at press events? Is that part of the secret sauce to becoming president?

Recently, or historically?

I don’t think you’re going to like the historical answer.

Historical answers please! I probably will like to know them but will most likely be equally disgusted.

Historically, you shook hands and kissed babies to show you were a man of the people running for office.

That’s why my bid for the Texas Senate fell through. I got the two mixed up.

History is important to understand the present.

Dude, they can’t even get Ron DeSantis to display human emotion, I don’t know if the skin suit is too tight or what, but it’s never happened.

… so every politician from back in my day? Half the shit they did was kiss babies and give hugs and kisses to people like suit wearing germ monkeys.

I’m pretty sure they still do it too but nobody cares enough to post about it unless they have an agenda lol.

You’d think being a faux-billionaire russian asset election tampering felon and convicted grab her by the pussy rapist would have more of an impact over politicians doing old shit like kissing babies for cameras would matter more.

Maybe we should get rid of all the politicians from back in your day and start electing younger ones that understand how creepy that shit is and also understand modern shit well enough to legislate on it.

Or maybe younger people should chill the fuck out and stop assuming all people are rapists

Who’s talking about kissing babies? Talking about young teen girls.

Politicians kissing babies is a stereotype for a reason.

Because that’s what the orange genius is trying to emulate in the picture and gif. But he’s such a creep he’s aiming at preteens instead.

Understanding context and history is pretty important in everyday life.
