Don’t feel too bad for me haha. I was 100% bought into Kamala Harris’ campaign and the 2024 blue wave; 100% ignorant about the reality of racism and criminality and brutality of this nation. It’s only this last year I’ve come to my senses about the reality of the USA.
The intensity of the Epstein scandal can. not. be overstated. It’s the world most prolific child sex trafficking ring, occupied by top figures across Western nations. USA. Canada. UK. Top celebrities. Top oligarchs. Top politicians. Trump’s connections were known. A story on Prince Andrew’s involvement was suppressed by the ABC news. And… USAmericans just ignore it… All of it. Well, Trump’s opponents cling to it, of course; but it wasn’t enough to stop Trump’s victories in 2016 and 2024, and again, Biden barrrely won in 2020 with an active pandemic brought about by Trump’s incompetency.
Nixon’s Watergate cover-up wasn’t enough. W. Bush’s lies that killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and thousands of USA soldiers wasn’t enough. Nothing ever sticks to the people actually in power. Politicians are getting in squabbles while Silicon Valley and big finance are just cruiiiisin’ right along. It’s insanity, and yet the people bend to it.
I really believe we missed our chance to “act now”. I watched it trickle out of our hands in the first months of this administration. Big tech got the spynet cameras and AI networks set up; MAGA got its ICE secret police; The financial stresses got worse; And most damning: people are burnt out.
