While Trump is putting out all the distractions that he can right now, the threat of the Epstein “client list” continues to loom large. Surprisingly, the heart of that problem for Trump is connected to the anti-trans hate campaign that he has stoked among MAGA Republicans.
A group of Republicans who have previously been very loyal to Trump have built a large part of their platform around protecting children. While that’s an admirable political position to take, too often, rather than making moves that will lead to real support for children in dangerous situations, it has amounted to an excuse for bigotry and hate targeting the LGBTQ+ community.
What is his lack of consequences made of?
People around him jumping on grenades for him.
Some people who have done that a long time are fucking done with him over this. Objectively, the swirl of dipshits around him is lessened. He has no power, only people around him being dumb stubbornly.
Also, he’s suing rupert murdoch. I think the puppetmasters are done with him. Fascism is nothing but betrayal, and nobody perpetrating it is safe, which most of them over there know, and it scares the shit out of them, making them try to shield themselves from it by hiding even deeper in their cruelty, the only thing loud enough to drown out the shame they work triple overtime not to have.
Maybe it won’t take him down, but it’s a fucking crack in his little game that isn’t going away, and presents a significant point of leverage.
Magnetize resistance with kindness and sense spoken plainly. Add to the critical mass of people that will end this shit.
Pretty sure he’ll go full dictator and start disappearing people before facing actual consequences.
He’s so profoundly ignorant, that he has certainly never heard the saying “Never antagonize someone who buys their ink by the barrel.”
