The DOJ removed already-public Epstein files in defiance of a disclosure statute, prompting bipartisan outrage and impeachment talk from the law’s authors.
See, the thing is, I’m not talking about their stupidity.
That’s why the Epstein stuff is sticking in a way nothing else is; because it doesn’t ask them to be smart. In fact, it plays right into their stupidity. That’s the difference.
Everything else has bounced off them because it was easier to excuse it. Excusing the tariffs is easier than learning how trade really works. Excusing tax cuts is easier than understanding how the economy really works. Excusing his foreign policy blunders is easier than trying to understand the value of soft power. Ignorance is simpler. Ignorance is easier.
But the Epstein stuff? That sticks because they don’t have the ability to be ignorant about it. This is something they know. Secret cabals of pedophile elites kidnapping children to sexually abuse them on a private island? My brother in Christ, they write fanfiction about that shit. They are the self proclaimed experts on that stuff. With everything else they can just say “Well I don’t understand this, but I’m 100% confident that Trump does, because obviously the billionaire is a genius.” But then they watch as Democrats are out there screaming for the release of the Epstein files while Republicans are dragging their heels and it does a number on them. Because they know how this is supposed to work; Democrats are all evil child rapists and Trump is the saviour sent to stop them. So why is Trump running cover for the pedophile cabal?
In short, I’m not claiming that MAGA are suddenly getting smart. I’m claiming that the Epstein cover up is exactly the right kind of stupid.
I really hope you are right, I’m not up to date with MAGA I don’t run in any of their circles, but I know Meagan whatever her name is already tried downplay pedophile like if they are 15 it’s not as bad.
I’m just afraid they are so stupid it’s easy to explain stuff away with bullshit like that
MAGA won’t collapse as a unified front. No collapse is ever unified, that’s why it’s a collapse. The fact that you’re seeing some of them bending over backwards to defend Epstein doesn’t prove that the damage isn’t happening. That split is the damage. There’s a tonne of infighting happening in the MAGA world right now. Ben Shapiro and Nick Fuentes are basically at war. Tucker Carlson has managed to turn the Heritage Foundation into the red wedding. Lauren Boebert and MTG - major MAGA figureheads - both openly defied Trump over the Epstein files, and MTG is retiring from Congress before the mid terms. If you’re only looking at one or two faces you’re not seeing the full picture.
