To the terminally online, it can seem like the Epstein case is going to break Maga because it’s all you’re hearing about. But step outside and talk to your neighbor. And, if you bring up Epstein to a regular Republican voter, they might think you’re crazy talking about child sex rings…

What do you think is the role in all of this of the intermediaries? I’m referring to the podcast bros who *are* talking about this and are pissed. Do they convince the base they’ve been had? Or do they get back in line? IMHO they may be the key to how this turns out.

The podcast bros and the influencers are truly angry. But they don’t represent the everyday Maga voter. They think they are smarter than the average Maga voter… Maga folks like conspiracies. This isn’t a conspiracy. This is a case of ultra wealthy men abusing children and getting away with it

This is 100% a conspiracy and will remain a conspiracy until all the details come out. Like all good conspiracies that will never happen. By the way, people don't always talk about the crazy shit they believe.

Agree, with caveat. Epstein gets in his head and keeps him busy. We can walk and chew.

No one cares about Epstein or the effect of dump’s policies, they care about their vacations, their social activities, and from the olders like me, I mostly hear about their heart problems. And who died. Politics aren’t part of their daily consciousness or conversations.

Yep. The Maga folks I know don’t talk about politics much at all. They did what they did and they walked away and they’ll do it again.

And they’re not the crazies at his rallies. They’re my neighbors, walking their dogs. That’s the horror of it.

It might not break MAGA completely but it can turn some into apathetic non-voters. Every bit helps. Walk and chew gum. Also, we shouldn't ignore pedophelia and human trafficking. Other than Les Wexner and Maxwell, who had closer ties to Epstein than Donald Trump? I can't think of anyone.

Was skeptical when I heard about MAGA being upset about the Epstein Files. This makes more sense, they do not care. There seems in my view, a lot of divisive feelings towards any people of difference, for MAGA to feel superior over others. Women too, so maybe pedo victims also?

Unless the sex ring is about Hillary, then they believe it.
