(24,224 posts)The 2020 election was about Trump's presidency. The 2024 election was about Biden's. It was the 2016 election where Trump's character was in play. Trump's friendship (decade plus long) with Epstein came out. Trump's sexual predatory nature. Trump's marriages, affairs, rape and sexual assault, the accusations of using Miss Teen USA to oogle young girls. All this was last really hashed over in 2016, when a lot of the new voters were in grade school through college and not giving a shit. It was assumed to be a known known that his voters didn't care about.
What changed was in the last election Bro Culture went heavy into both politics and into Trump's political brand. Bro culture is awash with Internet conspiracies. And the Epstein conspiracy is a big one. A lot of his new male voter base is heavy into Influencers and conspiracies. And many of these people didn't know how involved Trump was with Epstein. Rogan spent all his air time on Hunter Biden's laptop, he didn't ask Trump about any of this shit.
The fact Trump is acting like he is covering up something (the thing conspiracy peddlers love most is the appearance of a coverup) is more damaging than likely any one thing they will likely find out new information wise. His current shifty activities are the thing this culture feasts on. Trump is, more or less, now the deep state. By 2028, he will have been president for a majority of these people's adult lives. It is obviously getting harder and harder for him to pretend to be a government outsider. And these conspiracy people hate the government and their love their cover-ups.
No matter what he releases, it won't be evidence of a left wing global sex trafficking ring Qonon bull shit that never existed, so he's fucked. He has become one of them now. This is the humor in all this. He lost Bro Musk and Bro Musk controls Twitter, so good luck stamping this out over there. Bro Rogan isn't thrilled with him. Now he's got Bro Tucker etc . . . These guys are all competing for the same narrow audience and that audience loves themselves Epstein conspiracy shit.
