I will say, all of the pedophiles I know irl have been conservatives and very religious men... and most of the people who were molested as children have grown up to be liberals...
I grew up in very conservative Utah, so it makes sense that the perpetrators were conservative/religious bc they make up the largest demographic.
But I think there is something to the idea that people who were molested as children grow up to be traumatized and confused liberals who rally against traditional values. And of course some of them go on to become perpetrators themselves, continuing the cycle.
And then you can go back and say that conservative pedo was traumatized by their overly religious parents that punished them excessively. The human condition is very messy.
