The next national protest should be over the Epstein Files

I wouldn’t count on it. We all suspect if not know that any implication information isn’t contained to a single party. The Democratic Party has attempted to make their brand the party of intellectual moral authority. We all know that it’s either their party or donors sympathetic to their cause that organize and fund these nationwide protests/demonstrations, they aren’t some magical manifestation of the people’s will, and the support from the top-down will not be there for this.

you don't need a political party or megadoners to organize a nationwide protest.
you just need enough people nation wide to pitch in. there are many ways to help, from donations to the actual organizing of it to bringing your body to the protest.
again you don't need help from democrats or republicans to do this.
if some kid can arrange three nevada parties in one night by making a meme invite to storm area 51.
then you can arrange a large scale protest over an issue that has major public support.

Need?
You're absolutely right, but the American people no longer organize unless it's algorithmically shoved down their throats. Which at this point takes one of our techno-oligarchs to decide they want that, or a fat stack of cash to pay for it.

crowd fund it

I've made comment before about it I suggest people read my past ones (it's not that deep in my profile) to know my deeper opinion.
Obviously epstein is a terrible person and his sort are a plague on society, but focusing on one document doesn't fix that.
That being said I think the US govt has done itself a disservice in its messaging game and has made it way worse than it could have been. The voting base of this administration wants a conclusion to epstein but this administration things epstein is just bs and another creep nothing buger, nothing to see.
This will be a huge problem for the conservative base. Not just voters but the actual senators and representatives as well. You can't run on the idea of exposing pedos in our system, but when you rub against that grain of pedos immediately be told "hey no pedos here"
PennCycle_Mpls@reddit
Lol, this administration doesn't think it's a nothing burger.
This administration is trying to protect the Daddy in chief because he was best friends with Epstein for over a decade, numerous flights, numerous trips to pedo Island, numerous parties, and he raped Katie Johnson, 13 years of age.
Donald J Trump is a pedo and a rapist and he's actively sabotaging Epsteins victims from achieving justice, because he is one of them.

Beyond any of the island stuff what else could Epstein have known. Maybe people opened up on business dealing or other under the table stuff that was slimy but not pedo. There are many other things that can be used as blackmail.
czar_king@reddit
It worked against Steve Stephenson
ModestBanana@reddit
If any of that were true then the Biden admin and especially Wray’s FBI would’ve dumped all the Epstein files that incriminated Trump.
The best they could do were some fake intelligence for pp tapes and campaign finance violations.
PennCycle_Mpls@reddit
Not if Epstein was an intelligence asset like Alex Acosta alleged when the Trump campaign interviewed him, stating his reason for giving him that sweetheart deal in the first place
ModestBanana@reddit
I believe this theory the most, but if he’s the asset that collects blackmail and dirt on powerful figures, there is still no reason Dems wouldn’t have used the blackmail collected on Trump to erase him from politics.
Idk if you noticed, but they’ve been desperately attacking Trump for about 10 years now. Not only that, but the only Trump rally CNN live-streamed unfiltered in the 2024 election year, of his 117, was in Butler, PA where his attempted assassination took place.
I’m sorry, but they’d do anything to prevent a Trump presidency, and leaking Epstein blackmail on him would’ve easily been done, had it existed.
PennCycle_Mpls@reddit
Dude, the state department doesn't descriminate against Democrats or Republicans, they don't care. There's also the likelihood that Mossad is involved, not to mention other intelligence agencies.
This means that someone like Epstein would have gathered and fostered kompromat on powerful people and their families and their contemporaries as insurance to keep himself free from prosecution which is exactly what we saw play out in Florida.
So no, Biden or Clinton or Obama wouldn't want that leaked either. And even if it wasn't dirt on anyone connected to them, imagine the fallout of someone like Epstein and American citizens and connected to power being allowed to operate freely without interference from American intelligence agencies awareness? That'll make any administration look pretty bad
It would also burn a shit ton of foreign intelligence relations as well.
He ran a honey pot for CIA/Mossad
indacouchsixD9@reddit
Not if it implicated Democratic politicians and donors.
ModestBanana@reddit
If there were tapes, logs, etc. there would be no reason they had to include Dems. They can cherry pick Trump like they’ve been doing the last decade.
Wedoitforthenut@reddit
The Biden administration was too chickenshit to put Trump in jail so they went after softball stuff and tried to beat him politically.
ModestBanana@reddit
The softball stuff is the best dirt they could come up with
NearABE@reddit
We already knew that about Trump. Something else has to be going on.
aznoone@reddit
Told we have a list. Told we have a ton of evidence to sort through Told it is on my desk will be released soon. Then told nothing. If there was nothing should have said that from the start. So what games are they playing?
maybelying@reddit
This does seem to finally be an issue that MAGA and other conservatives, including the media, aren't willing to handwave away by rationalizing and sane-washing whatever narrative the white house tells them.
After nearly ten years of this bullshit, it's actually refreshing to see
NearABE@reddit
I was worried they would just fully embrace the pedophilia.
memeticengineering@reddit
I mean, I've seen a disturbing amount of people who embrace pedophilia or forgive it because God chose Trump.
handsoapdispenser@reddit
Not government. Trump. Trump and his surrogates made it a huge deal. Same way they did with JFK files and 9/11 files. They implied a massive conspiracy that they would blow the lid on and then produced next to nothing. It's because they're lying. They did not know what was in any dossier and what they actually found was messy and probably confidential for good reason. Reminder that we as yet have no reason beyond hearsay to believe that Epstein was up to anything more than what he was arrested for. We don't know videos exist. We don't know clients exist. If the secret files are not actual evidence of crimes they will just make people nuts and result in no charges.
Relative_Business_81@reddit
In one ear out the other with this administration. These protests don’t mean anything, the ballot box did and we absolutely fucked up hard on that. Like, the people who voted for and support Trump know that the left is upset and couldn’t give a rats ass about it.
NearABE@reddit
I was not aware that the left cared about this.
PomegranateHot9916@reddit
one thing the protests are doing is letting people know that they aren't alone. letting them know that not everyone in your god forsaken country (god has forsaken you) is full of hatred.
and that has a type of value of its own.

From the article:
NearABE@reddit
It is a bit sick to protest this rather than the ICE/gestapo disappearing people who are trying to go to work.
llamadramas@reddit
I am not seeing any organic initiative from his base or supporters that would indicate they'd turn up and increase numbers compared to other topics. No tiny local protests and signs and things that were precursors to the previous large ones.
brrbles@reddit
This is a dumb article because the premise is dumb. The Epstein story is useful because it is revelatory of the administration's graft and incompetence. That might score some points among the handful of Democratic strategists still sucking the DNC dry, but the only people it is going to mobilize anything in a useful direction.
