I honestly don't understand how you Americans still seem to believe that anything in the Epstein files could possibly harm Trump. It was known before the 2016 election, that he was peeping in dressing rooms at Miss Teen contests. Before the 2016 election he bragged about sexually assalting women. Before the 2024 election he was convicted for sexual abuse.

And people did vote for him, not despite of that, but because of it. Because they are misogynistic assholes who adore and envy him for doing stuff like that.

Because a huge swath of Republicans were obsessed with the Epstein files.

It was a conservative darling for years, the issue for many voters. You don’t get how big of a deal it was in the US before it was common knowledge that Trump was in them.

It’s why it’s the only controversy Trump isn’t leaning into. It’s simply too much of a conservative cornerstone for him to deal with.

I think most of these things are why he got elected. He did the things the average american wishes he could do.

He raped a 13 year old violently and there's probably video in those epstein files.

And? These allegations were also known since 2016. But that didn't stop anyone from voting for him, twice.

  • His Conspiracy Theorist supporters will call it an AI fake, created by the deep state.
  • For his Christian voters he'll be redeemed if he pays 50 shekels to the girls father and marries her.
  • His nazi supporters might say: "Whell that's not nice. But at least he's getting rid of the immigrants."
  • His sexist supporters will say "Well 13 might be a bit young, but after all it's her fault for wearing such a short skirt. And with these kids nowadays you never know their real age".
  • His MAGA supporters will say "I don't care, he's our saviour. If he deems such things necessary, who am I to question him."
  • The Idiots say "Well he might be an asshole, but Kamala Harris also did some bad things."
  • And his courts say that it's already barred or he's got immunity or he just enacts a new law that makes rape legal if the perpetrator is a politician. He'll have the Congress's support, as soon as the files are released.

Did I forget anyone?

Those things aren't known by everyone. My conservative MIL didn't vote for Trump having known about those things, but my SIL did. She was shocked when I told her about it.

Americans generally aren't as well educated as many other countries of its caliber and a bit part of that manifests in media literacy and general interest in anything, really. My SIL claims she made her decision to vote for him because his campaign page was more convincing about lowering prices and Karris' I kid you not.

Yeah this is a single anecdote about a single person, but this largely has been my experience.

checking if your candidate isn't a pedophile should be the fucking bare minimum lmao

Most of Trumps supporters think all the Trump-Epstien connections are liberal fabrications. Some of them are convinced that Trump was a secret FBI agent working undercover to expose the whole operation.

Hard evidence will never convince the delusional masses who worship him.

MAGAts only wanted the files released so they could be used to attack "them librul pedos"

To be fair, there are liberal pedos in there too.

Let them all burn.

And that’s the crazy thing. QAnon and all these crazy conspiracists finally get an honest to god pedo cabal, and… shrug?

Honestly I give the iranian disinformation team 1 of 5 stars, a pathetic job really.

I mean, they don't actually need to have the Epstein files, they can just start sharing stuff that seems plausible.

[-] CPMSP@midwest.social 15 points 3 days ago

They are making Lego memes that are pretty fire though.

This gets posted every now and then, and the consensus in the comments is typically that this is an incredibly dumb thought, but somehow it has a thousand upvotes over 20 downvotes. What gives?

[-] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 101 points 4 days ago

They can just hold the world’s supply of oil, ammonia and helium to ransom. Breaking an Iranian blockade by force would require a WW2-scale effort, with the US, Europe, China and the gulf states fighting alongside each other to take Tehran and impose some kind of regime change all parties find acceptable.

I've been seing stuff like this a lot lately, but it seems detached from reality to me. How does Iran benefit from the Epstein files?
