... why is it that people think there's no way to care about more than one thing at a time? We can keep pushing for the Epstein files and care about other things too. It sort of seems like you advocate for forgetting them. Are you?

… why is it that people think there’s no way to care about more than one thing at a time?

Because a lot of the time the people saying this don’t actually talk about the other thing they supposedly care about. If someone comes into an unrelated thread and starts talking about the Epstein files instead of the topic, how is anyone supposed to divine that they actually care about both things?

I don’t believe for a second that this would be anyone’s reaction if I was bringing up trans rights in every single thread about Trump, including ones specifically about the Epstein files.

The Epstein files are getting brought up because for once there is a chance at chipping away at right wing support. And we shouldn't blow it

I severly doubt that.
They will likely just deflect.

Even Alex Jones was mad about it briefly. Just a couple of percentage points would help.

By the time federal elections matter again, Trump will be long dead. It's also often unwise to complain about the President in local elections.
