Yes. Based on talking to people like you IRL, I don't think democrats understand how big the epstein situation is.

Revealing the epstein docs/list was a major selling point for the q-anon/conspiracy voters during the election. This is the first major controversy that puts trump against a sizable majority of his supporters, which are becoming disillusioned.

We are reaching a nixon-esque turning point where the cover up is worse than the crime.



It pairs well with being convicted in NY state by a jury of his peers for other sexual crimes.


Did that happen in the same universe as the Sinbad “Shazam” movie?

I keep getting all these multiverses mixed up. Here I thought in this universe he was only found liable in a civil suit about sexual harassment, not convicted in a criminal court for a sexual crime.

Which means exactly what? What political alternative do the whackado Qanon/ultraMAGAs have? Certainly not the democrats—they are so far out of alignment with MAGA that any Epstein disappointment looks mild in comparison. Sure…UltraMAGA may frustrated with Trump but they will never get a chance to vote for him again to express that disappointment. So they will be faced with a choice of a GOP candidate who will run on much of Trumps politics (but won’t be him) and a democrat party that appears now to be tacking further left in to the socialism waters as its new bearing.
