Current Events > Grover Cleveland met his future wife when she was an infant....

(+) Yeah! (+)

....and he was in his late 20's. Her father died and Cleveland took over the estate when she was eleven. They married ten years later.

America voted him as President twice.

Sounds about right

the ultimate groomer

Yes that's pretty gross but I'm not sure I understand the point here. We also voted trump and that's even worse

Pretty gross is something like weird food combinations or what the Jackass guys used to do. But sure, downplay infant-grooming.

Understand the point? I think it's vile what he did. And even worse that the country voted him in twice. But sure, if you don't think that's an issue.....I mean you do you I guess.

It is an issue. I said it's gross. I just don't understand the purpose of this topic. Am I supposed to feel bad or something because of what people did before I was even born? Grooming sadly was common back then even if it is disgusting

Grover Cleveland was the original Jacob from Twilight

"Why should I feel bad about child grooming?" is quite a take there.

Now you're just twisting my words. My point is you are acting like we had something to do with this. Stop putting words in my mouth that I don't think it's an issue and morally disgusting. I'm just also being realistic that people married young back then and arranged partners early often. Things were different and I'm not saying it was morally okay

Seriously? Do you not see your own hypocrisy side by side?

I'm not twisting your words in the slightest. You literally asked why you should feel bad about child grooming because it didn't happen when you were alive.

A trivia topic showing how America has been electing sexual creeps for centuries and you are like "Yeah, but TRUMP!" and then make it about yourself.

Because it's worse that it is still happening today even with all of the advances we have made as a society. Yes it's a disturbing pattern, but when you tell me about Grover Cleveland being a groomer it's just a piece of trivia that's not that surprising to me because that kind of creepiness was more openly accepted back then

It's like when people go on about John Wayne being a racist. No shit, look at when he was born and when he lived.

---

This argument is weird

---

Thomas Jefferson also owned slaves. People being problematic back then is not necessarily news or trivia

It's just a weird topic. I don't get how we are supposed to react beyond feeling repulsed and grossed out

I think his marriage was about money.
