The GOP realized there's a year until the midterms.

They will throw Trump under the bus and claim none of them knew anything.

We would never be that lucky. They're doubling down on this syphilitic pus brained fuck

The GOP doubling down on Trump would actually be the best thing we could hope for.

Most people don't bother to vote. If it comes down to having a President who is a know pedophile a lot of them are actually going to get off their butts and waddle down to the polls.

Look at Watergate Era. The GOP made it all about Nixon personally. They pushed him out, but kept all his ideas. This time we have to make sure the whole Republican Party is tied to Trump.

Maybe, or maybe they delayed long enough and have fully doctored the evidence and we're about to get hoisted by our own petard.

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 6 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

You really think that there aren't dozens of copies of the full story out there?

Again, look at Watergate. Nixon tried to release some of the story, but eventually everything came to light.

Frankly I would be fine with them trying and failing, but I don't love our track record nailing these assholes for blatantly lying.

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 6 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

The lesson most of America got from Watergate was that the system worked and eventually the press would discover the truth.

The lesson the Right learned was that they had to destroy the system.

Look up 'The Fairness Doctrine' and how Ronald Reagan went after it from his first day in office.

I'm familiar. It's the reason we can't expect the same rigor from the press that broke Watergate. Part of why I don't love our track record on pinning obvious crimes and cover-ups from this administration.

[–] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Is that how it went down back then?

Maybe you're right. I just have trouble imagining the future where my family ever moves on from this shitstain of a human

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 2 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Two things.

First, I think it will be glorious when people finally realize they've been had. Lincoln said you can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time. MTG is already ahead of the curve and getting her axe ready.

Second, there used to be a course called 'Civics' that every high school student learned. You were taught the Constitution, the history of how the different Parties formed, and got a basic understanding of the mechanics of how elections worked. They started phasing that out during the Reagan era, because of course they did.

Well you put a lot of stock in the larger population's ability to self reflect. I really wish I could have your optimism.

Yeah we would be looking at a very different present if the project of destroying education to let private interests redefine reality never came to fruition, but here we are

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 14 points 20 hours ago

No, no, it's okay now, they finished washing all the evidence, MAGA can go back to hating pedophiles again, because no Republicans are pedophiles.

Shutting down the government, and delaying the swearing in of the Arizona representative were just coincidences, really!

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 13 points 16 hours ago

have MAGA family, they just don't care that he's a pedophile. for them it's as bad as it he has unpaid parking tickets from that time.

they are brainrotted beyond any capacity. unable to form coherent thoughts that they didn't get from twitter or chat gpt.

To begin with, I'm pretty sure the age of consent is a woke hoax inherited from a democrat-antifa president. When I"m about to rape a kid, I always ask myself, would Jesus do it? And since my pastor is a well known pedophile, the answer is probably yes. Epstein was a visionary, let's get done with all that woke propaganda and make america great again once and for all. /s, in case

[–] MTZ@lemmy.world 8 points 21 hours ago

A perfect pictogram of the average MAGA supporter. They're tired, miserable, but they still offer obedience without a single fucking question as they and their entire world falls apart around them. But it's not a cult. Heaven no, hahaha.

[–] notsure@fedia.io 8 points 1 day ago

...so, did we clean up the Jesus stories where he 'loved' the children as all men...

[–] Wilco@lemmy.zip 7 points 23 hours ago

They will edit the MAGAts out of the Epstein files and then use them as a distraction until a leaked real copy comes to light.
