    The Epstein files are the distraction. Republicans dismantle democracy while people fight over the files.

    Imagine doing something so horrible that you underage prostitutes as a smokescreen.

      It’s kind of all interwoven. They are pedophiles, who are dismantling democracy, while stealing unprecedented amounts of wealth in human history, while persecuting minorities, while praising god.

      I’ve been saying this because I started to feel a rising sense of hopeless frustration every time the administration or Miller has destroyed some sacred institution or started scooping cash from needy families, you would invariably see someone, especially on Lemmy start spamming memes about “That’s cool bro, what about the epstein files?” as if anyone still cares when they’re starving and jobless or healthcare premiums have been driven up to a thousand dollars a month for someone on minimum wage.

      We are truly in the scummiest, stupidest timeline when an authoritarian can shield himself from accountability just by having child sex crimes hanging over him.

      Releasing the files would give a lot of evidence to jail the people destroying democracy. They go hand-in-hand because it’s the same people.
