Most of Trumps supporters think all the Trump-Epstien connections are liberal fabrications. Some of them are convinced that Trump was a secret FBI agent working undercover to expose the whole operation.

Hard evidence will never convince the delusional masses who worship him.

MAGAts only wanted the files released so they could be used to attack "them librul pedos"

To be fair, there are liberal pedos in there too.

Let them all burn.

And that’s the crazy thing. QAnon and all these crazy conspiracists finally get an honest to god pedo cabal, and… shrug?

This gets posted every now and then, and the consensus in the comments is typically that this is an incredibly dumb thought, but somehow it has a thousand upvotes over 20 downvotes. What gives?

I honestly don't understand how you Americans still seem to believe that anything in the Epstein files could possibly harm Trump. It was known before the 2016 election, that he was peeping in dressing rooms at Miss Teen contests. Before the 2016 election he bragged about sexually assalting women. Before the 2024 election he was convicted for sexual abuse.

And people did vote for him, not despite of that, but because of it. Because they are misogynistic assholes who adore and envy him for doing stuff like that.

Because a huge swath of Republicans were obsessed with the Epstein files.

It was a conservative darling for years, the issue for many voters. You don’t get how big of a deal it was in the US before it was common knowledge that Trump was in them.

It’s why it’s the only controversy Trump isn’t leaning into. It’s simply too much of a conservative cornerstone for him to deal with.

I think most of these things are why he got elected. He did the things the average american wishes he could do.

yea we all know america is a pedocracy.

[–] Tiresia@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

pedocracy

Ruled by a child? Yeah, that fits.

[–] toad@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No that's an infentocract. A pedocracy is ruled by pedos

[–] Tiresia@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Mixing Latin and Greek roots? You sociopath^1^.

Yes, pedocracies are ruled by pedos; the Greek word for 'child'. See also Pedagogy (teaching children), pediatrics (medicine for children), and pedophily (sexual attraction to children).

A society ruled by pedophiles would be a pedophilocracy. From the Greek words 'pedos' (child), 'philia' (lust), and 'cratos' (rule). Like aristocracy (rule by the best), democracy (rule by the people), or autocracy (rule by oneself).


^1^: from Latin 'socius' (comrade) and Greek 'pathos' (caring).

what's the difference? Romans stole everything from the greek anyway

Geopolitics really be turning into play your strongest card and hope for chaos 😬

Honestly I give the iranian disinformation team 1 of 5 stars, a pathetic job really.

I mean, they don't actually need to have the Epstein files, they can just start sharing stuff that seems plausible.
