Edit: A few comments mention the power imbalance between Lewinsky as an intern and the president. This meme shouldn’t be seen as me approving of Clinton’s behavior but point out that an adult man having “sexual relations” with a child should have some bearing against a sitting president.
If Clinton is in the Epstein files, show the world.
Also remember in 2012 the Republican party could not find an interesting candidate among its own, and finally resorted to Romney, the president of a private equity firm (that sinkholes functional large companies while pocketing loans and assets, thereby creating wasteland in the economy – it’s way more evil if less spicy than blowjobs from young staffers)
The same thing was happening in 2015 when Trump did his sales pitch (which really resonates with low-information voters) and he literally stole the Republican party from under the principal candidates. Remember that through 2015 they screeched about how he was going to bring the GOP to ruin, and turn it into a fascist cult of personality that worshiped Trump as a God-Emporor-Shuggoth-Thing. All of these predictions eventually came to pass, and with a couple of exceptions (that got ousted or died) every last one of them bent the knee for the general election.
Much of the US is under a thrall that is exacerbated by a) A trillion-dollar propaganda machine that dominates viewership (and has ruined masculinity as an identity – at least to me) and b) That the lower rungs of the working class can no longer survive under neoliberalism (e.g. late stage capitalism) and so the Democratic party as it is has nothing really to offer them. They’re dying anyway, so why not vote for the face-eating leopards?
According to Knitting Cult Lady, the exceptions they extend to Godhead Trump will not be extended to his replacement. If J. D. Vance becomes president, no-one will like him, and he may just get knifed by his own staffers in the situation room.
Trump Cult collapses from within is not on my bingo card, but I’ve seen it on other cards.
