The thing about the Epstein stuff was that it is yet another (as if we needed it but still) revelation that leadership of both sides of the party essentially believe in the same thing, the pure exercise of power for it's own sake.
On the side of the Democrats it placed stark contrast on their lip service to the MeToo movement, where they had looked the other way for years as some of their largest donors and political supporters were open-secret and even sometimes convicted pedophiles and abusers, with people like Jeffrey Epstein having huge ties to Silicon Valley, the Democratic Party, the Ivy League, and the high art world.
On the side of the Republicans, their association with these kinds of people had been in the open for years, but their complete capitulation to Trump, who was a very close Epstein associate, indicated that the party was diving directly into a land of pure fantasy, with cynical power grabbing, a complete departure from any reality outside of their own head canon, but then just capitulating to whatever Trump wanted them to believe, who is himself more related to a Democratic power grabber. Republicans are completely sniveling spineless cowards who serve whoever they believe to be their political master.
Epstein was basically what is fucked about both parties all wrapped into one tight ball.

unpalatable, they don't vote.
