HOLY FUCKING SHIT IS THIS NOT BAD ENOUGH ON IT'S OWN?!!!!! THIS WILL LITERALLY BE USED TO LOCK UP REAL FUCKING PEOPLE IN THE FUTURE, YET THE ONLY LANGUAGE YOU CAN UNDERSTAND FOR OPPOSING HIM IS "HA HA, HE'S A PEDO."
I'm genuinely tired of people acting like this is some instant kill move. His friendship with Epstein is old news that is only relevant and salient now because some Trumpians are mad at him for other reasons. They recognize that Trump hasn't delivered what they wanted, but they lack the understanding and vocabulary to actually articulate the reasons for their anger. What they do understand is accusing people of being a pedo, and oh boy is Trump a certified Pedophile.
I understand memeing on him about it, and I often find it funny, but for the love of fuck, please stop acting like Trump's crimes against humanity are a distraction. Yes he personally abused kids in the past, but he's also systemically abusing kids right now for simply being born in the wrong country. It's fucking disgusts me when people do this.
I agree that this is equally important news and an incredibly dangerous turn of events, but let's not pretend that the president of the nation with the most powerful miltary in the world raping kids is no longer relevant.
They have bred a nation of children and adults with child-minds who think that by having one single moral position, that it protects them and shields them from danger or that it just takes sticking to one issue and then you're "doing your part."
We're cooked. We have no opposition, we have a million splinter groups of so-called leftists who can't figure out how to prioritize problems and still think there's such thing as "law."
I dunno man, he doesn't really follow through with the vast majority of the shit he says lately. I'm not worried about his words, I'm worried about his actions. The day he actually DOES something bad to someone and says he did it because "they're antifa" then I'll be concerned.
What a forward thinking point of view.
You're a fucking idiot if you think this is just a distraction
Just go away.
Getting people to cry about Epstein is the distraction from the much bigger issue we're facing right now.
It's deliberate. They want us to bicker about it, they want you to reply to me about injustice and evidence and how we can't let pedophiles get away with this and that, etc. and the rule of law.
So that I will argue with you about what the bigger problem is, and we go back and forth until nuance is lost and we end up with hardline positions against each other.
DON'T YOU GET WHAT THEY'RE DOING JESUS FUCK IT'S RIGHT INF RONTY OF YOIUREPSIUTYPRIEHGROPIGHRGHIO I HAVE NEVER WANTED TO SLAP SO MANY PEOPLE SO HARD
