2. There are no magic solutions, but every weakness needs to be exploited as much as possible.

The hard-core MAGA cultists either won't believe Trump was mixed up with Epstein no matter what the files might reveal, or they won't care. But it's a big bad something to add to the growing pile of crimes, incompetence, malfeasance and all-purpose shit Trump continues to produce. As the economy weakens and the cult members start to notice their hero hasn't kept his promises, more and more people will drift away from him, and the more reasons they have to do it, the better.

I've been saying this for over a year. Johnny2X2X 20 hrs ago #1
