Someone is abusing people en masse to… distract from their prior abuse of people? No, he’s just continuing to be the same horrible person, supported by other horrible people, as he was before.

The fanfare around the Epstein Files at the exclusion of all else (“This is a distraction from the Epstein files!”) is the zombified corpse of the Mueller Investigation fanfare walking again. They want us to believe that, instead of the masses making history, somehow suits in Washington (many of the same ones who help keep the lights on for ICE) releasing more details of Trump’s past abuses will put an end to his regime’s abuses. They want us to believe this even when during the Biden years they dragged their feet on prosecuting him and didn’t throw him in a cell, plus giving many of his Jan. 6th rioters exceptionally nice treatment in federal prison if they did get locked up.

Edit: Typos & grammar

    Liberals can only think about one thing at a time–a kind of extreme single action bias. If they thought about more than one thing at a time, they might start to draw connections between events and policies that would suggest the shape of deep systemic issues. Then they wouldn’t be liberals anymore.
