Look, I'm not saying that I don't believe they ate human beings. I just also don't enjoy throwing around accusations without at least some sort of proof, because as soon as you make one false accusation, the right will use it to discredit all your true accusations too. It's fucking horrible.

At this point, it's well established that Trump diddles kids and that half the rich and powerful of the world have also engaged in such activities. That's something we CAN say, fully knowing we're not lying and nobody on the right can use this to say "look the lefties are loonies". But if we grab on to that baby intestine poop eating allegation and then the person testifies that they were actually lying, the right gets a "look at how everyone on the left just ate the lies, everything they believe is bullshit" victory lap.

But the actual worst part of this all is that we DO in fact already know about the pedophilia and nothing is being done. No Trump supporters care. It's like he said, he could shoot a person on 5th avenue and he wouldn't lose a voter. So even if the baby eating thing turns out to be completely true... I don't think even that matters anymore.

Y'all are kinda fucked on your side of the pond. I do hope the people will wake up, perhaps even some MAGA supporters will eventually lose faith in Trump. But the really fucked up part is that the whole shitting his pants video did a whole lot more damage to his reputation with them than actually fucking children.

Thank you!

On a related note: Some people are saying that the woman in green is touching her nose because the smell is so bad. I think it's actually a deliberate signal to the "make the reporters go away when he shits his pants again" team.

Our far right is actually losing ground because most people realize how batshit insane they are. They also had a party split because some people thought they were too batshit insane and some thought they weren't batshit insane enough.

We are not safe from what's going on in your country of course. And I realize many of the Epstein accomplices were European too (such as the Andrew formerly known as prince). But it's your side of the pond that's super fucked because there's no real way to hold them accountable right now. In my country, even the prime minister, president, etc, can be held accountable. In fact there's a separate 4th branch of government that checks that the main 3 aren't doing any fuckery. Called the Chancellor of Justice. We don't have a single position as powerful as the US president, even prime minister doesn't get close and the president only has veto privileges and a representative role, no executive order type powers.

It would take so many people to be complicit to allow someone to take over the country like Trump has in the US, that if it were to actually happen, I will have lost faith in my entire country, not just the politicians. We currently have 6 parties in parliament I believe. It's dominated by libs and centrists, both the conservatives and socdems don't actually hold a lot of power, but even the libs have to court another group of parties, as the two liberal parties alone only got 51 out of 101 seats, which is a technical majority, but not really enough to get anything done. So now they're in there together with the socdems. For context, our liberals are pro social rights (LGBT, racial equality, etc), but also want to lower taxes and reduce spending, so the rich court the liberals more than the outright hateful conservatives (who, for all their faults, don't want to reduce education and healthcare spending).

It's a slightly healthy balance of everyone wants different things and there's no "pure evil" because even the most evil people will still vote against some very bad things because they're just hateful racists, not corporate-owned hateful racists lol
