The Epstein files are a dead end; if MAGA was going to turn on Trump because of them they already would have. It's more than possible for the sane half (more realistically ~60%) of America to stop the fascists, but it won't happen if you keep waiting for the fascists to turn on their great leader because that just does not and will not happen.
PS: Your democracy will be gone by the midterms if you don't act.
It would increase international pressure; the UK fired one of their ambassadors for his connection to Epstein. That's progress in my book.
It takes 0 effort to bring up the Epstein files constantly. I see no reason to stop, so long as people keep resisting.
Uh... what? Less pedophiles in positions of authority is always a good thing, but how is this relevant to fascism in America?
It derails other, sometimes more or equally important conversations. It also plays up the idea of the files as some kind of secret anti-fascist silver bullet that makes real resistance unnecessary or less necessary.
They'd have to start first. Most of America isn't resisting in any meaningful sense.
