Got a theory why the Epstein files are resonating so much

[Aviation Pro]

With the fucking MAGAts and why the fucking pedophile is feeling the heat.

A lot of them, not all of them, were victims of sexual abuse at the hands of older men.

And yes that includes girls and boys.

[Cosmocat]

1. Because it was implied that it was dems

They still think that ...

[NJCher]

3. This is true

But aviation pro has something. Magats are very damaged people.

[Cosmocat]

33. That is true for sure

Nm

[Aviation Pro]

4. If there were pedophiles who happened to be Dems

Then the fucking pedophile would have ordered the release of the material long ago.

I’m getting the feeling that prominent Democratic politicians are not on the list at all, but donors may be a different story.

[bucolic_frolic]

2. There's been a lot of abuse in plain sight in their lives

or they would not be so dysfunctional in the way they think and act. They are not strong, boundaried people.

[ananda]

6. You have to be brutally groomed to lose your humanity...

the way Trump and practically all Republicans have lost theirs.

Sex abuse has definitely been part of it to some extent.

[babylonsister]

38. Whether you're rich or poor, 'brutally groomed' applies. nt

[Ol Janx Spirit]

5. There must be a myriad of things that happened to these people in their youth to cheer on...

...things like immigrants being eaten by alligators. Sexual abuse is probably high on the list--especially for those pushing the Epstein conspiracy.

Sadly, sexual abuse in many different forms is probably way more prevalent than we would like to believe. People do not want to talk about it, so it remains a hidden epidemic that expresses itself in society in any number of unhealthy ways.

[littlemissmartypants]

13. It absolutely is prevalent! Do a little research on incest. The numbers are shocking.

[Walleye]

26. And of course, if she gets pregnant, it's "God's will"that she has the baby

[littlemissmartypants]

27. And it'll be raised as a little sister or brother...

[Walleye]

30. My grandfather was 20 years younger than his oldest sister

Recently, I started wondering if she was really his mother. He was especially close to her. I’ve been told. Of course this is all before my time.

[littlemissmartypants]

32. Interesting. ...

That would also have been prior to prevalent and easily accepted birth control for women. So, it could be he was a late in life baby. It's possible to think menopause is over then to be served with a surprise bundle.

[Walleye]

37. Oh, I know it could've been completely straightforward. But it's kind of a mystery.

[littlemissmartypants]

40. I do love a mystery, Walleye. ❤️

[karynnj]

35. Seeing that in those days the mom might have

had her first child at 19 or 20. It is entirely possible to have a later child at 40.

[druidity33]

42. my children

are 18 years apart. Wife had the first one when she was 19...

so yeah, you're absolutely correct.

[misanthrope]

41. This is it

Sadly, sexual abuse in many different forms is probably way more prevalent than we would like to believe. People do not want to talk about it, so it remains a hidden epidemic that expresses itself in society in any number of unhealthy ways.

That is what I believe.

[Irish_Dem]

7. MAGAs/GOP don't care at all about children being raped.

MAGAs who have been SA as kids would be inclined to keep everything a big secret
and let Trump get away with it.

The rest of the GOP would rape and kill as many kids
as it takes to get what they want. They are psychopaths.

The reality is that the billionaires and powers that be are tired of Trump.
They want his power taken away.

[rubbersole]

18. Murdoch is taking down his creation.

News Corp. should be next. There's a long list after that.

[Irish_Dem]

31. Yes the monster they created has turned on them.

[edhopper]

8. I don't think

half the voting population have been abused.

[Scrivener7]

9. But I can believe a third have. And his rabid base is about there.

[edhopper]

29. So 90% of abuse vistims

voted for him?

[Stargazer99]

14. As a young person who experienced potential SA I say quit ignoring the problem there is more abuse than you know

as this type of abuse is not talked about due to shame

[edhopper]

28. I have no doubt there is a lot of it

just not half the population.

Actually more than half since not all who were victims of this voted for Drumpf. So it's all MAGA voters, plus the Harris voters who were victims.

Those numbers aren't supportable.

[Coventina]

36. Every woman I know, including myself, has been SA in varying degrees in her lifetime.

For women, the percentage is 80-90%, unless my life is an anomaly. But I don't think it is.

[edhopper]

39. Numerous studies

Put it at 20% to 25:%.
Which is alarming and way too high, but not 80 to 90

[Scrivener7]

10. I agree.

[JMCKUSICK]

11. It took me well into my forties to even begin

To acknowledge that I have been sexually abused. What makes it so difficult is that I remember the acts, even the places, but most of what I felt during these events is still buried in a concrete cask.
I'm guessing there are millions who are experiencing the Epstein stuff in an emotionally charged way, and God forbid more of the specifics come out where a lot of us will recognize that this was me in some capacity too.

[Farmer-Rick]

12. Yeah, sexual abuse of children is rampant

It's been institutionalized in many organizations. Such as the Catholic Church, most all religions, (wasn't one of Muhammad's wives 9 years old?) children sports activities and schools. It's been commonly accepted and allowed to flourish.

So, not surprised many people were victims and have an emotional reaction of disgust and hate about it.

[SSJVegeta]

15. Musk.

[kimbutgar]

16. There was a discount store my Mother used to take me to and the owner was always friendly to me

And once I was I the toy section and he came up and grabbed me by my pu$$y. I was uncomfortable but didn’t tell my Mom. The next time we went I told her I didn’t want to go and after a while of questioning I admitted what happened. I will never forget the look on her face. We ended up going there and my Mother made a big scene in the store and told him off in front of his wife and daughter and we left. She told my Dad at dinner that night and he wanted to go there right away but the store was closed. on the weekend he went and got inthe guys face also. It turns out he had done it to several little girls and it had been reported got the police. This was in the late 60’s. We never went there again.

[debm55]

20. I was sexually abused by my grandmother, while she gave my two cousins and myself a bath. It hurt. I thought it was

wrong. Took me a long time to tell my Mother. She brushed it off. I cried. Grandmother is long dead. But I still bear the pain in my heart. I was around 5 to six

[MustLoveBeagles]

25. I'm sorry 😞

[ZDU]

17. Hear, hear

It's a life of fucking hell & shame when no one, no adult, believes you... and worse yet when you, the child, believe the assault and abuse was all your fault

[Sogo]

19. It's a pretty widely recognized hypothesis in psychology that abusers were abused.

nt.

[wiggs]

21. The latest in a series of things that aren't going well. Adding up, for the time being. We'll see how the WH deals

with all the losses.

[nowforever]

22. I do want to thank Elon

Thank you for your rage moment that had you speak a truth we all have known

[hamsterjill]

23. There could be truth to that, of course, but I have a different theory.

The Trumpers always accuse everyone else of what they are guilty of. In Trump's case, he's accusing anyone he can think of just to get the attention off of him. Asshole.

My favorite QAnon idiot posted on Facebook yesterday that Virginia Giuffre had told investigators that Barack Obama was on Epstein Island frequently and that *he* wanted thirteen year old boys. Obviously, not true. Reported her on Facebook for all the good that will do. Blatant lies shouldn't be allowed to stand, but we are past that point. But you see where this is going.

Anyway, Trumpers and MAGA and all of the religious cultists are hung up sexually and get their kicks off of deviant behavior. That's why they accuse everyone else of doing it.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

24. Why DOJ's withholding of the Epstein files so upsets Trump's base- Roughly a third of MAGA Republicans qualify as QAnon

A good percentage of trump supporters are QAnon idiots and Epstein is a big deal to these nutcases.

Link to tweet

A lot of you may be mystified as to why DOJ’s withholding of the Epstein files so upsets Trump’s base.

It’s very simple.

👉 Roughly a third of MAGA Republicans qualify as QAnon believers.

👉 QAnon teaches that government, media, and financial elites are Satanists who sex-traffic children.

[tinrobot]

34. I think many are sick of him, but won't admit their mistake

Epstein is a good enough reason to dump Trump. They don't have to admit fault, and can blame him instead.
