Unpopular Opinion

Cult collapse doesn't typically ever happen quickly when the leader(s) are still alive and in power.

It takes gradual chipping away at the cult to destroy it during that time. Most MAGA and GOP will probably not give a shit if Trump is fully exposed to be a kiddie rapist and trafficker. Shit, most of them will probably be jealous.

But even 1-2% leaving the cult and starting to actively oppose it would make a HUGE difference in the power dynamic, and add millions to the resistance.

I'd also like to note, it isn't just the MAGA cult we want to destroy. Its the cult of capitalism.

How many people who aren't MAGA still love billionaires?

How many still believe in this bullshit capitalism meritocracy propaganda that billionaires spend billions spreading?

How many people still believe the neo-liberal, pro Zionist Dems still are the best choice for the opposition to the GOP, and all progressives must be yeeted?

Its about destroying that cult too. Its chipping away, but a significant chip to have.

Yup. That’s unpopular alright

My personal theory is that Trump isn't implicated in them. The reason he's fighting so hard to keep them secret is that there are names in there that the public has never heard of. The oligarchy hides behind figureheads like Trump and Musk and Zuck. Those dipshits are nothing without the finaciers getting rich behind their political cover, and those are the people that Epstein would want to blackmail.

Nobody will be surprised if Trump is implicated in the Epstein files. Supporters will continue to reject reality, and critics will simply have yet another confirmation that Trump belongs in prison.

But those other names, the multi-millionaires and billionaires who don't have a rabid cult of followers, they will quickly find themselves under the bus when the files are eventually released. Those people write big checks to corrupt politicians and judges so that they can avoid consequences, but that grift only works if there are no eyes on the process.

Releasing the files will expose countless child rapists, and that's going to hit Republicans right in the war chest. It will hit some Democrats, too, I'm sure, but the Republicans are the ones with the most to lose.

We dont need another confirmation. The boot lickers do.

I understand your position. The thing that matters is that trumps dipshit followers seem to care. After all the things they are willing to accept this one conspiracy smelling thing gets them like coke. So let's ride the wave and hope his dillusional followers rip him a new one and maybe one or two change their behavior after they got a child molester elected...

I sorted get it. Blows me away that having just a picture with epstein would have sunk any politicians career in the 80's and 90's.

Agreed 1000%. Given the context of everything that’s happening, I completely understand why the files are important. But in a vacuum, I don’t know why I or anyone should care. This is just what the billionaire class does.

I’m hoping that the release of those files can maybe move the needle and wake some people up. But I don’t understand why everybody cares so much—particularly people who aren’t anti-MAGA. We already know the billionaire class is full of pedos, and if you don’t already know that, I don’t see how the release of those files would make any difference at all.
