Let’s say the full shit was released today. It says trump anally raped a 12-year old girl to whom he refers as “ivanka”. Exactly what does that change? He would pardon himself, so no charges. His fucking pathetic sheep supporters would just shrug. It’s not until they suffer firsthand, for long enough, severely enough, that they will break from him. This was the master stroke in our enemies’ plotting agonist us. They turned off the ability to think critically in half of the electorate. And we allowed it by electing a bunch of fucking assclowns that led us to this moment.
Trump already has lost quite a bit of standing. The MAGA movement wasn't made by Trump. Trump was made by the MAGA movement. (i am referring to the ideology behind it, not necessarily the name of it). There is only so much shrugging that will keep going on.
It is absolutely necessary to keep the pressure up. This thing has been going on for decades and as there is more than a thousand victims according to the FBI there is probably at least hundreds, if not also thousands of oligarchs from across all of the US elites and some foreign ones involved.
This isn't just about Trump, this is about all the perpetrators. Which is also why over twenty years and four presidents the oligarchy tried to keep the focus away from all the perpetrators involved.
Nah, he latched onto some anti-establishment, extremely racist, evangelical threads that had been drifting around, and became the face of those movements. But, MAGA is clearly now all Trump. Just look at what happens when someone tries to push those same causes but fails to kiss Trump's ass, like Ron DeSantis. Trump turns on them, so his base turns on them, and they fade into irrelevance.
The GOP is only being held together by the cult of Trump.
That's why it's so remarkable when there are apparent fractures in that base. Who'd have thunk that a base steeped in QAnon conspiracy theories involving child sex trafficking for nearly a decade wouldn't just roll over and take it when Trump decided that he wasn't going to fully release all the Epstein info. Sure some of those who have sworn loyalty to their red hats who have been screaming about child sex slaves for years have suddenly changed their tune to say "it's no big deal, this is a non-story". But, a few of them have actually made it so much a part of their self-identity that they can't just switch gears when the Dear Leader tells them to do so.
All the rapists should rot for the rest of their miserable lives, but don't kid yourself into thinking the servile morons are going to break from trump because of this.
