Sorry, I must be one of the 40% of Americans that don’t give a shit why you’re trying to take the wind out of the sails of the movement, just that you are.

....what world are you living in? You're still expecting someone to save you. Someone in the government to swoop in and give the nasty Orange man his just deserts? There's no one. No one is coming to save you. You're all going to have to save yourselves and the longer you wait for someone else to get up for you the harder it will be to do. If you're not actively involved in resisting the administrations plans in any way you're consenting to it. Trying to make someone feel bad online doesn't count.

Lol dog, you have no "movement". You have a disparate collection of people bleating epstein to deaf ears on social media. Please show me how this epstein "movement" has had any measurable effect on the administration's ability to orchestrate fascism.

Again, the original question was: at what point would you concede that this strategy is failing?

When the first doors are broken down? When the first public execution happens? When socialists are being loaded onto trains? When the first mass grave is discovered? Once the first million Muslim or Arab Americans have been executed?

Is there any point at which youd give up on this strategy?

Dont get me wrong, we need justice for the people that were abused, but appealing to the morality of our oppressors is silly. True justice for these victims will come when our systems functionally disallow the formation of any sort of Epstein class. Keep in mind, someone else has undoubtedly already picked up where Epstein left off.

at what point would you concede that this strategy is failing?

Not yet.
