| RolStoppable said: At first I found the ruckus about the Epstein files baffling, but then I remembered the conspiracy theory that Democratic leaders were drinking the blood of children in the basement of a pizza store - something like that. So the importance of the Epstein files is the widespread belief that there's a lot of dirt about Democratic politicians in there, they must be released and the Democrats finally put into jail. Of course, that's mostly a conspiracy theory too; I say "mostly" because it's probable that at least some people associated with the Democratic party are on the list. But it's a lot more likely that a great bunch of Republicans are on the list; Trump is on the list too, it's just about the least secret secret there has ever been in the political landscape. |
It's directly linked to the whole "drain the swamp" shit too, to QAnon and Pizzagate, for years these conspiracy theories have thought Trump will "drain the swamp" and there was a child sex ring involving the Democrat Party, they didn't have much to latch onto until the Epstein files and then they had what they thought would be their "smoking gun" and it was the perfect thing for them to latch their conspiracy theories onto, it didn't matter that Trump himself was a rapist and general piece of shit, Trump in their eyes was the hero who will drain the swamp of all the deep state pedos and prove all their conspiracy theories about Democrats to be true, so now when Trump has just basically said "it's all bullshit" and tried to push it aside, it has caused their entire worldview for years to start collapsing around them and they're lashing out.
There are obviously going to be some Democrats involved, likewise some Republicans involved and some very rich and powerful people, I couldn't say who exactly but Trump I have no doubt, but they're all protecting each other, not because they care about each other, but it's like everyone has their own mini-nuke, I don't doubt that everyone involved is a very powerful and very influential person who all have very strong dirt on each other, so if one releases the dirt, like Trump, they will all be able to release dirt back on him, some wonder why Trump doesn't just release a partial list of only Democrats but I feel like that would be a very risky move because everyone involved probably has receipts and once they go down they'll take everyone else with them.
