Donald Trump has promised to pardon his White House staffers, reported the Wall Street Journal’s Josh Dawsey in an exclusive report on Friday.
Dawsey, the veteran DC reporter, cited “people who have heard his comments” in the bombshell report revealing that Trump is asking his staff to operate with a sense of impunity.
“I’ll pardon everyone who has come within 200 feet of the Oval,” Trump reportedly told staffers “in a recent meeting to laughs.”
The interesting thing about child rape, is that it activates the completely unhinged QAnon-esque people, who actually do commit violence with glee. Though I disagree with them on many things, we just happen to be aligned on “child rape=bad”. That crime creates a visceral reaction that “stealing and selling state secrets” doesn’t quite emit.
So I feel like Epstein is the one thing that could actually get through to many in MAGA cult.
Okay, but do QAnon folks associate child rape with Trump or his administration? A tiny majority maybe, but most are still mainlining the Kool-Aid.
Most Christians are vehemently opposed to many things approved of in the Bible, but it doesn’t seem to bother them much.
Too bad the majority will find a way to justify it rather than admit they supported everything they hated. Calling it now, “Trump had to rape those kids, how else could he have gotten in with those people to take them down?”
As long as it’s talking or writing about it people will find a way to justify it or just ignore it for sure.
It’d be a different thing altogether if some VHS tape of him and a crying child happened to appear. That’d turn all but the most vehemently ghoulish people against even him. There’d be no coming back from that. Some might say deepfake this and that but it’d still have an impact.
Probably why some survivors/witnesses simply disappeared. Probably why Melania did her little stunt the other day. Probably why Maxwell is still breathing, too. If someone stashed some tapes it would’ve been her. She had too much to lose. Nobody is truly untouchable when state actors are involved.
It’ll always be a game of percentages. There will always be some amount of hardcore cult members, but as worse and worse things come to light, the new info will pick off sections of MAGA one piece at a time. We can debate percentages, but I think a critical mass of MAGA would leave if they had crystal clear proof of Trump raping children.
One source I’m using is The Necessary Conversation youtube podcast, and while it’s just two data points, it give the regular person a really good insight into the cult.
