Considering the point of this regime is to destroy our trust in democracy and justice, I’m anticipating just that.

You conveniently left out the mostly likely case of them being Neo-Nazis which have been around since post-WWII.

If they had faster ship technology, surely they’d be able to locate the older ships in transit and relieve the astronauts of their duty.

An economic, political, and safety liability all around.

The problem is, they are going for low hanging fruit by targeting unknowns with little to no representation.

Catholic priests have the full force of the Catholic Church to protect them from legal attacks that some dinky YouTuber will not be able to combat.

Also, Catholic priests do not need to go on dating apps or websites where they could potentially get lured because they are most likely targeting the children in their parish, under their direct control.

There are cases of arsonist fire fighters which is an even stronger analogy.

Those who claim to fight fires are often the ones setting them, so they can be seen as the heroes who extinguish them.

The point is to pacify the moderates and make leftist resistance look like an insane reaction.

There was a similar case that happened on a college campus in America. Five 18 year -old students, all of whom can legally consent, lured a guy toward the dorms through a dating app. When he arrived, the students swarmed him with phones out calling him a pedophile. They are now being charged.

Trump is going to start WWIII and form a wartime coalition government that “postpones” our election process in the meantime. There may be no midterms.

I’m going to be honest, I’m suspicious of every single ‘pedophile hunter’. They are going after a demographic that people will not rush to defend, even if innocent.

Also, these ‘hunters’ probably have something shady going on in their own lives, and this is some form of projection that they also profit off of.

This could be a Reichstag Fire moment. It’s near the border and gives Trump precedent to strengthen operations there.
