Social media is propaganda distraction… All of this.
People should turn off their phones and devices but at this point, we cant go back.

Focusing on Trump and Bill is a propaganda distraction.

Yo. I’m GenX. I grew up without internet. You’re right its a huge problem. Its also an addiction individuals have to get over solo. Not so different from substance abuse. Just mentally idiotic.

Ah, most here have been around 1984 when people get to talking and sharing. In socials, we tend to group together in strange unintentional ways like this.

Trump giving anyone a blow job, let alone bill clinton, is hilarious. If the epstein files are worse than this, it’s going to be one hell of a ride if/when they’re released. I bet there’s video of him raping children and possibly pics/video of this. It would explain why they’re fighting like hell to keep these private. The raping of the children will lose the women magas and the “gay stuff” will lose the men magas.

They’re already doing the “but she’s 15, at least she was not 5” defence…
They know.

They will just say ignore it or say it’s AI or some form of excuse
pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 10 hours ago
Will they? I guess we won’t know until they actually say something about it. I feel like it’s been pretty quiet.

talking about the released Epstein file emails is a distraction from… the Epstein files…?
subgenius@sh.itjust.works 1 hour ago
Its redirect and distract as usual. Pretty tiresome. Proof Trump is vile, start 'er up! I call it the TARDED

From the rape and pedo stuff – absolutely. The outcome of focusing on Clinton is politically neutralizing and has likely made everything else contained irrelevant background news. It is humiliating to Trump, but not actually politically damaging at all. That is a perfectly calculated distraction to focus the public on by design.

Bs, stop apologizing for that orange Nazi. He is a full on rapist. Convicted.

Rape in civil court. 34 times in criminal court. He’s disgusting

Nah, it’s a great booster meme for the popularity of this scandal, at least on the left side. It keeps it going in people’s minds and that’s all that matters in the long run because Trump and his cronies were hoping people would forget, and it hasn’t. Many former Trump supporters cite the Trumpstein files as one of the issues that drove them away from MAGA.
Just as an example, JD Vance fucking couches has done jack for anything other than people making a fool out of him. Do you really respect him after that meme came out? I sure don’t. And I still think he’s a menace.

Not politically damaging? Have you met his base? They are going to snarl at this, and he’s powerless without them!
Jankatarch@lemmy.world 10 hours ago
Have you met his base? They are not going to care about this. Or the pedo proofs. Or anything for that matter.
j4k3@lemmy.world 9 hours ago
It is not a crime and will blow over in time. His base has no depth or memory. This will be, Bill asked for it and how could he say no.
