But being on the Epstein list (a relationship that has always been obvious), a breaking point to his voters.
It's not like you couldn't always see he was a sexual predator sociopath. Why is this a hitting home?

2, Bring down the deep state/Expose the elite pedophile ring - Meaning democrats
It has nothing to do with the victims. This was supposed to be their biggest own the libs yet.
That is the source of their anger. For all these years they were promised they were going to take down the deep state.

As long as they got to take those Demoncrat scalps.
They are motivated by projected violence against people they dont like.
The GOP has been radicalizing these orcs for 50 years.
This was supposed to be their big payoff.
This is what the scaffold was all about on J6. They were denied on that day and then it became
just you wait until we elect TSF again. Then well get out bloody retribution and now
NOT.
Trump should have realized:
First you feed the tiger
Then you ride the tiger
Then the tiger eats you.

(63,129 posts)Now that the champagne sparkle has begun to wear off of Hate #1 (and as hospitals close and jobs evaporate and health care goes away and prices spike) MAGA is discovering that Hate #2 - the QAnon Rip The Lid Off The Deep State Pedophile Satanic Sex Ring (Now With Extra Joooooos!), the last hate lifeboat, in fact - is full of holes.

(126,300 posts)They were all wound up about the pedo ring claimed to be operated by Hillary out of the basement of the pizza restaurant that didn't have a basement.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pizzagate_conspiracy_theory Even though that particular part of the theory fell apart after some fuckwit tried to shoot the place up, the lunatic right is still convinced there is an international pedophilia ring involving "elites," particularly Democrats, and the focus was on Epstein after he was found dead in jail in 2019, and it's why they've been demanding the release of the files. They've been convinced that the Epstein files are a major source of information about the international pedo ring, and it's why Trump et al. have been promising to make them public - and why they went nuts when AG Barbie suddenly said, oops, there's nothing in them. The pedo thing is the holy grail of conspiracy theories. Just being a letch and a con man is OK, but being part of the Big Conspiracy isn't.

Internal MAGA takedown. Trump's puppetmasters have decided the clown act is a liability and are working to get him out. Trumpers would not care unless told to care so the move is on to convince them this matters.
Just a couple tossed about among friends. The only thing we seem to agree on is what we see on the surface is crafted.

(8,321 posts)being contrarian this one time and MSM is certainly running with it. As CNN used to say...Trump is good for ratings.
And I imagine that many on all sides of the issue believe that the WH will never allow anything to be released that is slightly harmful to TSF. The pressure and attention will result in a response or a distraction but they will keep control of the content. That's what con men do. That's what a captured media allows them to do.
There is NOTHING on Fox's online front page about Epstein...except that the House wants to subpoena the Clintons.
