Trump: drives a truck filled to the brim with crying orphans into an active volcano and chants satanic rituals, causing the smoke cloud to gather into a demonic form that begins defiling innocent bystanders
Fucking idiots, for some reason: This is just another distraction from the Epstein files
Something can be an atrocity and a smokescreen at the same time. Complain about it all but don’t let up the pressure on the Trump-Epstein matter because he wants those files forgotten and we can’t allow that.
But more importantly, hand waving away all the fascism — they were actively engaged in, and planned to do all along, because they’re fascists — is itself a distraction.
Their solution to the Epstein file problem is the same solution they were planning to all their other problems; to implement a fascist dictatorship and eliminate/murder all opposition.
The Epstein files only matter if the legal and judicial system — or the people — remove him.
Just something to think about here - republicans all seem pretty gung-ho on the fascism, and they have control of everything right now. Do you think pointing it out will change republican minds? Those in office and those who are the voters backing them up.
Personally, I don’t see that happening. You’ll get some halfhearted dissent here and there, but I think thats mostly cover.
So, what would cause a major split or shift? I think solid confirmation of Trump making use of Epstein’s ‘services’ could do that. Maybe it won’t, I can’t predict the future (obviously). It seems much more likely than pointing out how rights are being stripped away (again and again), because they haven’t cared about our rights yet.
That doesn’t mean I think we should ignore what’s happening, just that I think there is substantial value in making sure the Epstein files don’t just disappear. If there wasn’t, I don’t think they would be trying so hard to deflect/ignore/cover up anything related to it.
That’s Las Vegas, right?
