Focusing on Trump and Bill is a propaganda distraction.

[–] QuinnyCoded@sh.itjust.works 53 points 14 hours ago (4 children)

talking about the released Epstein file emails is a distraction from.... the Epstein files...?

[–] j4k3@lemmy.world 13 points 14 hours ago (3 children)

From the rape and pedo stuff – absolutely. The outcome of focusing on Clinton is politically neutralizing and has likely made everything else contained irrelevant background news. It is humiliating to Trump, but not actually politically damaging at all. That is a perfectly calculated distraction to focus the public on by design.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 14 points 12 hours ago

Nah, it's a great booster meme for the popularity of this scandal, at least on the left side. It keeps it going in people's minds and that's all that matters in the long run because Trump and his cronies were hoping people would forget, and it hasn't. Many former Trump supporters cite the Trumpstein files as one of the issues that drove them away from MAGA.

Just as an example, JD Vance fucking couches has done jack for anything other than people making a fool out of him. Do you really respect him after that meme came out? I sure don't. And I still think he's a menace.

[–] DontRedditMyLemmy@lemmy.world 10 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Not politically damaging? Have you met his base? They are going to snarl at this, and he's powerless without them!

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 8 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Have you met his base? They are not going to care about this. Or the pedo proofs. Or anything for that matter.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

Not from what I've seen. Granted, it's filtered through leftist sources, but the heart of the matter is that he has been losing popularity and some people like MTG have done a 180 solely based on this. You can tell some yokels are uncomfortable and I say that's a small advantage you can't overlook. It's a crack in the shining armor.

[–] j4k3@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

It is not a crime and will blow over in time. His base has no depth or memory. This will be, Bill asked for it and how could he say no.

"Look, I never said Trump was a perfect vessel, but he's God's chosen instrument."

[–] j4k3@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

Dogma is scary blind.

I can't even begin to explain how long I let the duality of religion fester with reality before I was motivated to action. To tell the truth, it was primarily the lack of quality friends and people to talk to about my curiosities and interests more than it was any epiphany of logic. I knew the facts and reality but the partition did not care in the slightest. The only way to change someone like that is being openly welcoming and accepting; to be a better tribe to join.

Bs, stop apologizing for that orange Nazi. He is a full on rapist. Convicted.

[–] subgenius@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 hours ago

Rape in civil court. 34 times in criminal court. He's disgusting

[–] CatsPajamas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 10 hours ago

This is a distraction from the new war which is a distraction from the Epstein files which is which iswhichwishjeishsish

[–] subgenius@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Its redirect and distract as usual. Pretty tiresome. Proof Trump is vile, start 'er up! I call it the TARDED

[–] subgenius@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 hours ago

TARDIS joke nerds...

[–] uniquethrowagay@feddit.org 0 points 2 hours ago

Y'all are so occupied by this whole Epstein thing that you forget to riot every week because your government is literally dismantling what is left of US democracy.

Okay a couple rich people raped children. That's horrible, but does it really matter now? Do you think the MAGA regime will just stop their fascist plans once there is hard evidence? Trump is above the law and his followers only believe what he says.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 7 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Trump giving anyone a blow job, let alone bill clinton, is hilarious. If the epstein files are worse than this, it's going to be one hell of a ride if/when they're released. I bet there's video of him raping children and possibly pics/video of this. It would explain why they're fighting like hell to keep these private. The raping of the children will lose the women magas and the "gay stuff" will lose the men magas.

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

They will just say ignore it or say it's AI or some form of excuse

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 3 points 13 hours ago

Will they? I guess we won't know until they actually say something about it. I feel like it's been pretty quiet.

They’re already doing the “but she’s 15, at least she was not 5” defence…

They know.

Social media is propaganda distraction... All of this.

People should turn off their phones and devices but at this point, we cant go back.

Most people here were probably not even born before smart phones. They have no memories what life was like before all this. So this is "normal".

[–] j4k3@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Ah, most here have been around 1984 when people get to talking and sharing. In socials, we tend to group together in strange unintentional ways like this.

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah Lemmy may have a bit older techy audience who were there, thats true.

Then capitalism took a fun social experiment and milked it for money

[–] subgenius@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 hours ago

Yo. I'm GenX. I grew up without internet. You're right its a huge problem. Its also an addiction individuals have to get over solo. Not so different from substance abuse. Just mentally idiotic.

[–] subgenius@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

Duh. Problem is it works very well.

Sorry if I seem rude but things have gone far past stating the obvious.
