Have you actually talked to any of them?
I've seen a lot of houses in my city that I noted as having Trump flags have taken them down this summer. My Republican family members, and those of my friends, certainly aren't sharing that sense of victory you're claiming to see. They remember that Trump promised to release the files and haven't. They're all riled up ready to prosecute Bill Clinton and wondering why Trump has gone soft.
And literally just last week the UK arrested 2 men for projecting a picture of Trump and Epstein together during his visit, which has brought a ton more attention to the story. It's not going away just because you seem to want it to.
No, I'm trans and they probably won't even talk to me unless I put great effort into passing perfectly as cis. Even then, if I ever slip up it's over. I'm also brown which means some people will see me as untrustworthy no matter what I do.
I thought you had a good counterpoint up until you tried to be smug edgy dude. Fuck off, understand what's at stake and why people like myself are worried that the left is going to get stuck spinning it's wheels in a procedural issue while we're literally losing the constitution. You can care about Epstein and keep pushing on it, I don't give a fuck, just stop calling everything else major that happens a "distraction" like it doesn't matter.
I didn't call anything a distraction, and I doubt you throwing out insults or telling me to "fuck off" is going to change anyone's mind but okay. Your own comments are full of smug jokes that I chuckled without needing to personally attack you over.
