It doesn't matter.
If someone unearthed video of Trump raping an 11-year-old, Republicans would love him even more, his approval ratings would go up, leaders on the "religious right" would explain that it's all Biblical, and Trump would successfully sue for the profits from video sales.
I’d usually agree with this sentiment, but the MAGAsphere actually seems to be breaking with him on this one. The chuds are upset about this, and it might not go away so easily, especially now that he’s attacking his base over this.
Well one of the things that nobody seems to have considered is that Elon has a bot army, an AI, and Twitter he can turn against Trump.
In addition, and it may or may not be a coincidence, but he's not as buddy buddy with Putin as he once was.
I absolutely believe Putin is fueling this. President Vance is a collaborative agent for Peter Thiel and the Heritage Foundation. Heritage is a longtime Putin ally. The question is, will MAGA stop questioning their echo chamber after Trump is put out to rot? That is the gamble, and they are going for it.
The chuds aren't going to do anything other than type away furiously. Same as the rest of us ...
I don't like the presumption of video sales for CSAM.
Edit: not a dig at you, but of the unpleasant viability of that statement.
If you truly believe this, you need to take a step back from one or more echo chambers, because you've lost touch with reality.
Trump waffling on the topic, without any 'hard' evidence, has already caused momentum in the opposite direction.
But it’s just performative resistance. They still vote to give him everything he wants every time without exception.
That's your assumption, not a fact. If hard evidence of Donald Trump literally raping a child was made public during his last campaign, I'd bet my life savings he wouldn't be President today.
That's my takeaway too. What are americans gonna do about it? Nothing. He'd just gain popularity and the church will like him more too because of their common interests
