      I don’t associate any of those people with performative Christianity in any way.

      Trump is Christian only part time since he got into politics; I haven’t heard that musk is religious even in name. Don’t know about Bannon.

      I’m not arguing that.

      The Epstein files uncovered a conspiracy of rich, straight, white right-wing Christian men

      They did not, or only very partially so. This is misleading/downplaying the Zionist elements, for one, as well as the diverse background of various characters.

      The poster shuts down the Jewish part of the conspiracy and then spins it as the quoted thing, leaving out any mention of those elements.

      Edit: fixed quote

      Edit2: to avoid making another comment, I’ll write another issue with the post here. I’m sorry for the fragmented way of posting. I’ll take it as a learning experience to take my time and write a single comprehensive comment for things like this in the future.

      it was just dudes emailing each other in plaintext asking for directions to the Sex Trafficking Island

      That’s not the criminal conspiracy. That’s just the collected and partly published emails of Epstein, which the DoJ collected.

      It’s also inaccurate because the trafficking is at least alleged by multiple victims to have taken place at Mar-a-Lago and other locations. (Virginia Giuffre in her book nobody’s girl, as one example).
