Regardless of how much partisan “journalists” bray that “sex trafficking” hysteria is a “right-wing conspiracy theory”; they themselves did at least half of the work to turn it into a moral panic, from its introduction in the New York Times in January ’04 until it was finally taken over by QAnon in 2018-19. For a while there was a tug-o-war between Trumpists & Anti-Trumpists for control of the narrative, and when MAGA won the soi-disant “progressives” suddenly pivoted to debunking it. These people absolutely do not care about sex workers or anyone else their shamelessly-puritanical rhetoric harmed for two decades; they just suffer from a pathological need to be “correct”, and when it became obvious they were losing control of their own propaganda narrative, they turned to “sour grapes”.
