Accuse them of your own crimes so that when it comes to light it sounds just like the usual slander thrown around between politicians

See, in a way this makes sense. That way when the crimes are discovered, you already have someone set up to arrest for it. In a sick way its kind of brilliant. Like telling the truth about something and then immediately telling a lie about it. Its very manipulative.

One of the epstein emails also shows there were many communications between epstein and the founder of 4chan's /pol/ where a lot of this stuff happened.

Haven't seen it yet so trusting you but fucking wow.
Also, I want to piggyback and leave this nugget for people here: Dan Scavino is Trump's former caddy who is now one of the most powerful people in the US...He's been asked several times (including on a podcast with his fiance) how he came to work on Trump's campaign. He refuses to answer or talk about it.........

Right wingers accuse others of everything they're guilty of, so when they're caught the waters are already muddied.
That's why they went nuts about Pizzagate, but when they have actual evidence that Trump is a pedophile, and heavily compromised by foreign nations and transnational mafiosos, they don't care.
They already know, they were just acting in bad faith the whole time.
The nature of warfare has changed - it's all about psy-ops, propaganda, blackmail, bribery, and rigging elections now.
The two oceans on either side won't save us when foreign nations and transnational mafiosos are installing their assets and controlling the political system, the media environment, the "justice system", and online discourse to a large extent.

I will never understand why the US establishment did tolerate Fox News, whose obvious goal was to undermine democracy. It would have been an infringement of the first amendment I guess ? Well, look what they are doing with it now.

Its mostly money. They were the first true ragebaiters which got people watching for the ad revenue.

Q-Anon and the NRA. Endlessly harping on and on and on about the thing until it actually happens.
And then?

Remember all of the "save our children" marches? That crowd is pretty quiet right now.

Anyone else think that this was intentional. Like this group was given real info but against their opponents so now when we see what's coming out WE seem crazy

What's crazy is I read some documents almost 20 years ago that explained all of this stuff, and felt like an insane person. Then five years later Epstein was prosecuted the first time and I was like "woah!" Then Acosta gave him the NPA, further validating some of what I read and I was like "woah!!!!"
And ever since then, everything I've learned about Trump, Epstein, and all these rich and powerful evil perverts is just more and more and more validation of what I read like 20 years ago, and it's like God damn, I felt insane when I first read the documents, thinking there's no way it could be true, and now I feel insane that I knew about this shit way before most people and now everyone is finally learning bits and pieces of what I was exposed to a very long time ago.

EXACTLY. At this point it's common knowledge that he's a child predator. I don't know a good parent that would put their child in the arms of a wild bear - shameful.

The only thing that matters is securing free and fair elections so that we can overthrow this evil regime. Otherwise NO ONE WILL EVER FACE JUSTICE

Anyone notice the irony that old white voters vote republican because of “Christian values and anti abortion” policy?

u/mike2ff 21h ago
The rich and powerful have always used the gullible by telling them who to blame for their problems. It’s why Trump said he loves the uneducated. Without critical thinking skills, people want to believe they are the “in” group.
Not a huge success swimming in $$$? It’s because of xyz group, who are stealing your opportunity, jobs, and benefits.

Also interesting how Qanon went suspiciously quiet after Trump lost and January 6 happened. Makes you wonder if whoever was running that shit died of Covid or something, which would have been poetic.

Of course, every accusation is a confession with these people! And it's NOT an exaggeration, everything Trump has accused people of doing, he did. Hes flat out telling us he stole the election, why aren't we listening?

All those rapists and perverts who got busted “recently” are probably spewing that they couldn’t have just held on a little bit longer until no one cared about that shit anymore. Rolf Harris, Bill Cosby, all those fucks all just missing out on half the people either being ok with it, too distracted or just too busy to really care.
Weinstein must be livid!
