    I wouldn’t run for office. And if you’re worried about that sort of thing and don’t want people to know about it, maybe you shouldn’t either. Because if they learn, you’ll be in a world of shit of your own making when you could have avoided it.

      So let’s push normal people out of public office, and make sure to only have sociopaths who have no shame?

      For example, I looked up a spider monkey’s vagina because a book about sexuality my partner was reading said they have large external clitoris coming out of their butt.

      I can bet you all my wealth that it would be used by Republicans to say I’m into bestiality and a sexual deviant.

      The result of this is that the only people who can get into office are literally perfect or they’re very good at hiding their activities. You leave no room for normal people with varying levels of flaws and foibles and ‘weird’ interests to participate.

        Why would only perfect people have things in their browser history that wouldn’t turn people away from voting for them?
