Betrayal… shattered delusions… rage at having been suckered….
If I understand correctly, the evangelical theocratic Republicans, and other MAGA extremists, have believed for decades that Satan has taken over the United States government and the elite liberal institutions. Has taken over liberals and Democrats, doing such sinful things as allowing gay sex, gay marriage, allowing transgender surgeries, empowering races other than white, allowing women to get out of the bedroom, kitchen, and nursery, learning science, thinking non-Christian theocratic thoughts, terrible sins all.
And they believe that the Satan controlled liberal and Democrat elites have been raping young teen schoolgirls for years. So to them, revealing all of the pedophilia available in the Epstein records is the number one passion of their movement. They see themselves as heroes rescuing children from abomination.
And now their heroic champion chosen by them to expose and seek retribution against such unimaginable filth and debauchery is doing all he can to cover up and distract everybody from what is actually in the thousands of pieces of evidence in the Epstein records. Because…because…he is in the Epstein records himself? being a filthy rapist of young schoolgirls himself? otherwise why is he distracting and panicking so wildly?
So I think they are dealing with one of the most difficult things for any human being to deal with, a shattered delusion. They are starting to realize that their champion is not one who will expose the filth, but that he himself is the filth. And I agree that he is indeed a sexual predator, a pedophile, a cruel sociopath who has raped school children. And it is traumatic to have a deeply held faith shattered.
This is betrayal, delusion, rage. Some in MAGA are dealing with the shock of betrayal. At some point. I believe that they’ll come to terms and see that this disgusting excuse of a “man” is a sociopath.
And they will turn on him.
I believe the writing is on the wall and he is toast.
Some of MAGA will try to cover for him, try to rescue him, to lie for him because they have successfully used him to implement Project 2025, to pass the “Big Beautiful Bill”, to try to end democracy and enforce their Christian Theocracy. Besides, their entire lives and careers are hooked to his power.
But, I am hopeful that the fierce blowback against the Pedophile in Chief of enough of the MAGA, along with the everyday disgust of just plain Republicans, will be enough to push the orange Humpty Dumpty off the wall, and all the king’s horses and all the king’s men won’t be able to put the Orange Humpty Dumpty back together again.
I can dream.
