How do MAGA folks ignore Trump’s DEEEEEEEP ties to Epstein so completely???
They don’t ignore it, they don’t care.
They think elites should be able to do what they want— reactionary ideology was founded as a monarchical counterrevolutionary movement, and that’s the ideal they’re working backwards to achieve.
Note that this obviously doesn’t apply to elites who aren’t aligned with their movement.
They use rhetoric to divide the opposition and to rally their base; they don’t actually care about coherence.

Recently, one of my moms was ranting about how corrupt Biden was for pardoning his son (she didn’t even know what he was charged for - I got her to look it up and then her response was basically "well, he deserved it anyways because of corruption). Later the same day, we were talking about how Musk was abusing his position to fire people investigating his companies and my moms responses were “that’s smart”.
There’s so much “as long as my team does it, it’s good and no matter what the other team does, it’s bad”
Yep. It works exactly like cheating in sport. I know football fans who will want the harshest penalties for cheating in the opposite team, while just laughing and shrugging if someone in their team does the same thing or even worse. .
The cruelty is the point.
In this case, I kind suspect its an issue of saving face. They don’t want to admit that the team they supported are doing bad things, because it would admit being wrong. But until it starts to serious hurt them directly, they won’t care. Of course the current administration is actively trying to harm them, but I can’t imagine them admitting it until well after it happens…
For conservatives, their team is morally good so can do no bad. The other team is morally bad so can do no good. And the law is there to punish the bad people. The end result is selective enforcement of rules and laws against certain minorities.
Trump all over this. MAGA won’t care
Probably spoon-fed to them by the blyats.
The “DECLASSIFIED” watermark on the cover is just the cherry in top.
Real declassified documents will have a “secret” or “top secret” mark on the cover and on every page that is struck out, redacted, or otherwise obliterated.
Is there anything new in this release that we didn’t know years ago from the last one?
Mark my words, there will be absolutely nothing that implicates anyone in power. At least not for the next four years.
So far, not a single thing.
