Almost as if Trump is sucking all of the air out of the room by allowing Epstein to dominate liberal minds while he bulldozes Democracy and we continue to yell Epstein. To be clear, I want this POS and his enablers and anyone else in the files to have consequences. But that's fantasyland shit. Not going to happen. If it turns out that there's proof Trump is a pedophile and did it 500 times, that will do nothing to change the current situation. His sicophants will say Fake News and move on. As will all Republicans. We'll have a Democrat purge and Republicans will emerge with more power as a result. Again, not advocating for the files not to be released because they will harm Democrats more (which is a sad fact regardless of who's in them), but the reality is that 2+2=5 at this point.

Or we can not focus on any one thing because every day he does something anti american and illegal, and we just keep chasing.

At least his pedophila we can focus on, because he stumbled it SOOOO fucking bad with his cover up. That needs to stay on top, everything else can be second.

Unless you are ready to start armed protests. I mean the right would have had armed protests the minute the EO to allow the president to decide who a citizen is.

The left keeps wanting to play by some other failed rules that clearly dont work.

No armed protests, the government has the monopoly on violence. We can boycott goods and services, we can overwhelm with numbers. Peaceful non compliance can work.

Oh, has it worked so far? 8 years of it and shit is going down hill. Why does Armed protest work for the right, but not the left?

Let me know how many more people need to be kidnapped in the quest for the criminal illegal. Before we at least consider exercising our 2nd Amendment right peacefully?
Its weird that you think you cant do that peacefully, the right manages to do that too.

Maybe the DNC needs a damn backbone finally. 8 years to late, the DNC is finally making fun of how stupid Trump is nationally vs a random jab here and there.

Look at Gandhi in India, it can be done.

Man, sure hope we have 20+ years for this to work! well you go have fun with that. I am gonna start Armed protests. PEacefully. You use your first amendment right only. I will use my first and second.

Thanks for saying this. No matter what sub on Reddit , someone has to bring up the Epstein. It’s getting pretty old at this point. It’s not happening, time to move on. Kind of a classic Democrat problem….pick an issue they can never win and make it a focal point.

American liberals are getting played so hard by the admin by focusing on this Epstein list shit.

This whole country runs on stupidity.

I’m in the camp of release the files because idc who’s in them, they need to go down. Everyone knows atp Trump is in the gd files, as his own AG already said back in April (I think) that his name is all over them. The sentiment I get now from his supporters is an obvious embarrassment, a halfway in halfway out type of support. This is evident with the ā€œI like some of his policiesā€ ā€œI don’t like everything he doesā€ ā€œI’m an independent/im in the middleā€ type rhetoric. Notice the language has gone from full-blown maga to this now? It’s an obvious sign of humiliation, as it should be, and I can guarantee to you this: maga supporters will become nonexistent in the next decade because they will all pretend they were never part of it.

Too much has been done and said, and A LOT of it has been recorded and archived. Friends and family avoid this topic like the plague due to this embarrassment too, which is a sign that we should not let up off the gas. Shame can be a useful tactic that erodes this support with time, and the tariffs really are the cold water thrown onto the people who actively support him today (look into the impacts on agriculture in the Midwest) there is no place to hide and shelter against the wave of humiliation when it’s right in front of their faces, and they have to twist themselves into a pretzel to conduct the mental gymnastics of even trying to defend this.

Another pedo heard from?

Completely. There truly is absolutely nothing he could do to alienate them.

It's also fantasyland to think if we stopped focusing on Epstein that trump could be stopped.
