I refuse to waste my time pondering what they really believe or what motivates them. I am subjected to enough speculation about that topic just by watching "liberal" news channels. So when it comes to evaluating what MAGA thinks about the Epstein files being hidden, I'll just take them at their word and leave it at that.
Nick Fuentes (super MAGA guy) with tons of followers posted this: "So now Trump is claiming the Epstein files are a Democrat hoax? Lol. Maga is dead. Good riddance."
The guy kind of has a point I guess. Also, from what I read on bluesky, the social media post trump sent out begging the maga to forget about Epstein is being brutally "ratioed" by his own followers.
At this point, it seems that this is a real problem for trump. Sad situation all the way around. The fact that none of it is leading to any self reflection from any of them is just par for the course.

I hope some of them ( my relatives for example ) find their way back to sanity... but for the rest... lock them up or simply dead for some reason or other.
They will end up killing us all with their anti-science crap and their racism and their conspiracies.

(22,949 posts)I am shocked that when trump told them all to just shut up about Epstein they didn't immediately comply. Of course this could all still blow over it hasn't happened as fast as I would have predicted.

(70,440 posts)Fuck 'em. Fuck 'em all. I have no use for brain-dead hillbilly trash whose concept of an ideal United States is one of white supremacy, enforced, unpaid labor for everyone who is not white, redneck culture, repressive social policies, unthinking animosity on the international stage, no education, no science, no effective health care, unrestrained vulture capitalism, and on and on.
There is nothing there that I should be invited to understand, or to reach out to; they are incapable of learning, incapable of empathizing, and as we have seen over, and over, incapable of governing a nation. Hell, they couldn't govern a hoe-down at a church social.
I say we engineer a way to get them all tangled up in a new Hatfield and McCoy-style blood feud, and let them all just kill each other, and rid us of their uselessness.

(22,949 posts)and they believe falsehoods about everything: the economy, healthcare, immigration, you name it. So who should be listening to who here? It's ridiculous.
