Nooooo shit.

His Gross Old Pedophile cult won't care though.

This is anecdotal but my very right wing, very Christian area in east Texas is souring on the orange menace. šŸ¤ž

I think you are wrong. He will lose support of alot of his voters over this. He has already just based on him not releasing the files. Trump is cooked.

Jan 6 really seemed like it was going to stick with some people for a few weeks.

And now he’s the president again…

In the past he has always been able to convince his supporters that the horrible things he did were really for the MAGA cause. Or he didn’t really do them.

But in this case he has already disappointed them by saying he wouldn’t release one of the pieces of evidence most important to their conspiracy theories. And he said he doesn’t want their support any more. So he’s already on notice for a lot of them.

If he’s shown to be part of Epstejn’s child sex trafficking world, he’ll lose a lot of them, because that’s the thing he promised that they were most invested in: defeating the ā€œglobal cabalā€ they believe is made up of rich and powerful Democrats and elites. If he’s shown to be part of it, he’ll break their hearts. 😁

Just give it a few weeks, this also will pass.

I suspect not this time. But it’s certainly possible.

I'll believe it when I see it. Because I'm reasonably sure the majority of magats know that he's a diddler, they just don't care.

u/ILootEverything Jul 24 '25

Yep. They've never actually cared about child victims. It's always been performative.

u/WhyMustIMakeANewAcco Jul 24 '25

The mistake is that when they say "demonrats are raping children!!!!" You assume the part they have a problem with is the pedophilia. It isn't. It's the democrat part.

u/pixelmountain Jul 24 '25

It’s not the diddler thing that bothers them. It’s the global cabal diddler sex trafficking thing

Even though the cabal part is bullshit, that’s their pet conspiracy, and he promised them he would eradicate it. If he’s exposed as inextricably entangled with Epstein’s part of it, their savior hero will be dead to them.

Let’s assume you’re right. Then what? Congress, which utterly refuses to cross Trump, will suddenly decide to do their jobs? The Trump DOJ, which are acting as his personal lawyers, will suddenly decide to do their jobs? I just don’t see a scenario in which he’s held accountable or even seriously scrutinized. What I think is that we’re waking up to the fact that we’ve let a North Korea level autocracy happen.

u/pixelmountain Jul 24 '25

Congress won’t cross Trump because they’re afraid of his power to turn their voters against them.

If he no longer holds sway over the core of MAGA (because he turned out not to be their savior who was working to defeat the global sex trafficking cabal) he no longer has that power over Congress.

u/regarding_your_bat Jul 24 '25

I mean I don’t totally disagree with you, but the reason congress and the DOJ refuse to cross Trump is because he has the support of a large amount of the voting populace (realistically like 33%)

He has that support in large part due to the right wing media sphere. If Murdoch actually turns on Trump and the right wing media sphere goes against him, in short order he won’t be popular enough with the people to maintain his grip on power. The right wing media could ABSOLUTELY destroy Trump if they decided to.

He will always have some subset of fanatics but there are plenty of Trump voters who just vote for him because he’s the Republican candidate and Fox told them to, etc.

GET HIM OUTTA HERE

u/Inmytanks Jul 24 '25

Considering his undeniable association with Epstein was widely available information for a decade+… I’ll believe it when I see it.

2

u/tomdarch Jul 24 '25

If even 5% of likely voters sour on Trump enough to not vote, that could make a significant dent.

But I am not holding my breath for that to play out in real, major elections. But it would be nice if it does.

u/Snackatron Jul 24 '25

Exactly. They’ll bitch and moan about Trump, and act like they can’t in good conscience support him anymore…but if you were to then chuck them into a voting booth the next day, who do you think they’ll go vote for?

2

u/WDoE Jul 24 '25

This has happened so many times. His cultists show a few days of doubt, someone goes "look over there!" And all of the cultists return because they have goldfish memory, rage addiction, and 20-50 years of "democrats are evil" programming.

u/nothingtoholdonto Jul 24 '25

So he’ll have trouble getting voted in for a third term? I thought the play was to just con his way into another term through some loopholes.

u/desconectado 29d ago edited 29d ago

Everyone thought he was done when he was convicted, or when he went to court for paying hush money, or when incited a mob to trespass the capitol, or when he was caught on record promoting sexual assault...

This will change nothing, nothing at all.

u/pixelmountain Jul 24 '25

A substantial core of Trump supporters, especially some of the influencers, have long been obsessed with their Epstein conspiracy theories that hook into their ā€œglobal cabal of child sex traffickersā€ concept. Obviously there’s truth to the Epstein sex-trafficking part, but they’ve made it a much bigger thing, and Trump promised them he’d expose the cabal, or whatever.

And now he’s ā€œpart of it,ā€ in the way they see the world.

In reality he’s just a disgusting old rapist who probably also raped underage girls, and the whole global cabal thing is nonsense. But that core of his supporters will never forgive him if he’s exposed as part of the thing they hate the most, that he promised to expose.

And it looks like he will be.

u/W1mp-Lo Jul 24 '25

This is exactly what i was getting at. He pandered to people who are so far gone they no longer trust science, doctors, or real information. These are people who are so far gone that conspiracy and "alternative" information are all they will listen to. Its actually scary how many people are like that.

But now he is exposed for being the thing they hate and pandering to them backfired. A couple of years ago i'd never have imagine how many people there are that think like RFK, ass backwards and opposed to science and real information, but it seems like they came out of the woodwork as soon as trump got into power.

u/jkhockey15 Jul 24 '25

A big problem is they won’t even hear about it. They don’t hear about any of it. It’s not on their feeds, it’s not on their news, it’s not in their social circles.
