If you say 'heteronormative' or 'unhoused person' or 'food insecurity' you're basically talking gibberish and nobody can understand you but if you say you can see inflammation in children at the airport and that vaccines lower IQ or that germs are a myth you get to fire all the scientists.

This is from an MSNBC article about how "Democrats have no idea of the cesspool they’re playing in, or what they’re normalizing" w/r/t releasing the Epstein files, which I'm not linking because it doesn't deserve the clicks. Let's talk about this theory, though.

But this won’t quiet anyone down. Democrats, joined by a few Republicans who’ve built followings off conspiratorial clout-chasing, are still demanding a vote to publish the Epstein files. And maybe, just maybe, the files contain disturbing, disqualifying or even criminal revelations about the people in Epstein’s orbit. Maybe, as some Democrats, Musk and a growing chorus of once-MAGA faithful suggest, the files contain details that would ensnare the president. Whatever the Epstein files end up being, as a journalist, I want them. But I also know what happens when a big, messy cache of information gets dropped into the middle of a post-fact attention economy. And I’m not excited. I’m nervous.
