Chuds don't really care, and I kinda don't think this means anything will change for the US right as a movement. For them, the Yankee Culture Game is defined by taking the opposite position to your "opponents". Now that this is something Republicans are practically indistinguishable from Democrats on, it's gonna fade into the background with the rest of the D.C. consensus. To be dragged out for shallow point scoring on slow news weeks.

For those of us who bother to listen to and remember what our leadership has said and done, whenever the topic comes up feel free to take Nd6 psychic damage, with N being the number of years you've been paying attention.

We knew about Trump's relationship to Epstein before he ran for president even back in 2016. Not only are there a bunch if photos and videos of him partying with Epstein, he paid a settlement to a 13 year-old Jane Doe who he and Epstein assaulted together.

It had zero effect on his campaign(s). If anything, they were boosted by it because chuds love reveling in their hypocrisy. Republicans who care about Trump's actions already jumped ship years ago.

it wasn't "reveling in the hypocrisy" it was literally the invention of an entirely fictional canon where secret agent Trump was working behind the scenes to Fix Things (he was just pretending to be a pedophile, totally), like that's literally what all that qanon shit was about

Yea, at best the chuds will be mad for a week and then go back to bootlicking Trump. Epstein as a point of contention is weak because it doesnt affect people's day to day lives.
