Now we will spend the next 2 weeks talking about this instead of justice for the Epstein victims.
I have nothing to say about Kirk other than I wish a better world for his children than what he wanted for them.

into seeing only a left vs. right dichotomy. It is part of what forms the zeitgeist bubble that most people, even the one third who can't be bothered to vote, live in.

Any facts that contradict the bubble, like the two right-wingers who tried to assassinate Trump or the fact that unemployment and recessions are worse under Republicans, just bounce off the bubble.
