I get that these people have demonstrated time and time again that they are intellectually malleable and have short attention spans, but this was the cause celebre for years. The immunity to cognitive dissonance is astonishing.
a lot of trump’s hardcore supporters really are secularized evangelicals who either perpetrated or grew up in the moral panics of the last 40 years: satanic panic, anti-queer anything, banning hip hop records. that demographic has been swimming in cognitive dissonance their whole lives.
Nobody’s home in that labyrinth but the Minotaur.
These people literally built a cult around exposing child sex trafficking and around Trump and the nanosecond Trump is implicated as being a diddler himself they drop it like a hot potato. Astounding!
It’s hardly surprising, the actual child sex trafficking was irrelevant, the goal was always to “own the libs” so now they’ll probably start being pro-pedophilia (even more than usual) because that will get under lib’s skin.
i guess the “epstein didn’t kill himself” is a slogan that is on the left now
I am shocked that the party that screamed “SAVE THE CHILDREN” for almost a decade now is suddenly very much not caring about the children when their demagogue got caught with his hand in the cookie jar of the thing they hate.
Conservative damage control is funny because we all know you got all excited and wouldn’t shut up about that list when
showed up but suddenly get cold feet and start bemoaning about how tiring the list is when trump is also on there.>perspective, nuance, patience, and common sense need to make a combackLOLOL That’s absolutely rich, go fuck yourself.
They didn’t bemoan it when Trump was involved, they made up an entire fictional canon explaining how Secret Agent Trump is actually on the good side
That Charlie Kirk tweet really sums up white kkkristian paranoia about Muslims that’s been brewing for decades. These people are souless demons that want to more than anything, exterminate people who are the wrong religion, race and politics. It’s grim out their folks.
He wants to bring European style racism and brainworms to America
Kirk is a fucking moron, obviously, without question, but idk where he gets off saying Muslims are taking over the west when last I checked…Judeo Christian supremacy is the law of the land.
A hidden imaginary enemy is the best one to stoke fearmongering, because you never know when they could strike, so people are always exhausted and paranoid, which makes them much easier to manipulate.
The classic fascist oxymoron with being superior while also being under threat by rootless cosmopolitans/jews/muslims/out-group de jour,
they sound just like soy libs now lol
It’s been so weird watching this party flip, with the Dems acting like the Neocons of 15-20 years ago, and the Republicans acting like the libs.
if the FDR era flip was the tragedy i guess this is the farce
This is funny but I have been shocked at how many CHUDs seem to be having a crisis of faith over this.
It seems all of us, the Trump administration included, underestimated the number of people who genuinely believed that Trump hung out with Epstein so as to “keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.” I think we all thought that was bad faith but it turns out some folks were just that gullible, and even they have a limit.
(They’ll forget about it in a week, probably, but it’s been interesting to observe.)
Stages of grief
1.) Denial
2.) Bargaining <— chuds are here
3.) Anger
4.) Depression
5.) Acceptance
I noticed the “we did nothing wrong” press brief basically just said “nobody went into or out of the area of the prison he was in” but 1) hows that work, didn’t someone need to feed that cracker or make a check? 2) what if, gasp, they were already in that area before that night?? 🙄
I’m not too worked up on it one way or the other, if he killed himself or not, with that said though there’s like a bunch of different ways I’d imagine to off him then cover it up.
I mean, quite a few conservatives I’ve seen take the position of blaming everyone but Trump. Kash Patel, Pam Bondi, etc.
