        Why wouldn’t he be as dirty as the man mentioned in the redacted Epstein files 38,000 times? Why wouldn’t he be as dirty as the man who is literally running underage sex clubs? Do you know that Mar A Lago still employs 16 year olds as masseuses and cocktail waitresses? That never actually stopped. That’s still going on. Underage girls giving gross old men full body massages. Clinton is a sonofabitch, but there is an ocean of difference between him and Trump.

          I know they’re both disgusting mass-murderers and rapists.
          I’m not going to make a distinction between them.
          Plenty of whitewashing from the Blue MAGA cult dogmatically defending their own.
          That says a lot about them.

        What? None of them are good. Arrest and charge them all. That’s one big difference, left doesn’t really give a fuck, charge them ALL. The cult will never admit to mistakes by their orange leader, it’s double and triple down, distract, lie, distract, lie more, on and on. Orange leader can do no wrong in their eyes. Anyone with empathy and 3 brain cells says lock them ALL up, NOW, no matter the “side”.

        their cult can do no wrong.
        so fanatic they want to defend this pedo.
        As if mass-murdering wasn’t enough.

        I don’t know how people can maintain their suspension of disbelief at this point.

        How do people still not see that, as horrendous as a child rape ring is, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. It’s just an entertaining diversion for these people, whose day job is running the imperial core.

          I think it’s really hard for people to accept that everything they believed in is basically wrong. They don’t live in a democracy, they don’t have a voice, they can’t vote their way out of the hole they’re in. That’s a hard pill to swallow for the crowd that convinced itself that they just need to vote harder and everything will be alright.

            Yeah, I remember a while back I introduced a friend to some simple basic facts about capitalism and it just made him really sad to the point of passivity and not wanting to learn any more. I guess my approach was wrong at the time. I have more success now, but I’m not sure what I do differently. Maybe contradictions have just increased.

              I find when you are trying to educate people you know, you kind of have to learn how the person thinks and then tailor the message in terms that will likely resonate with them based on their own values. How you express an idea tends to matter as much as the idea itself.

        For liberals, and right wing in general, it’s just another Red Team vs. Blue Team match with political flavor.
