For weeks, Trump and members of his administration, some of whom spread anti-Democratic conspiracy theories about Epstein, have been trying to quiet the MAGA base after the FBI declared there was no client list and that the disgraced financier died by suicide. The same manosphere that boosted Trump isn’t letting his administration off the hook on Epstein, even as Trump has tried to dismiss the whole thing as a hoax.
The young men in his base aren’t doing better economically, and also feel stabbed in the back by Trump’s refusal to RELEASE UNREDACTED COPIES OF THE EPSTEIN FILES.
I feel like for a lot of people they thought the status-quo was so dogshit that they voted to burn it all down, so to speak.
Notwithstanding the fact that the American status-quo is actually pretty damn good compared to most of the world and propaganda influenced people’s opinion on that.
I could buy that for the first term. But now? You gotta be dog shit stupid.
Yes. A lot of people are dog shit stupid. We need to do something about that.
You can’t, the time for tthat was in the 1970s, it’s now a a rolling ball of dog shit stupid that’s only getting worse. Then entire thing has to fall apart and then who knows what happens amd what the fall out will be.
That might have been an excuse in 2016, but sure as Hell wasn’t one in 2024!
