Why I Wish We'd Stop Talking About Jeffrey Epstein

I don’t want the list

I’ve been thinking about it and although things seem good right now, I think they’re about to become horrifying.

I keep going on Conservative Reddit and it’s shocking. People on there are actually upset at Donald Trump. I thought I’d never see the day that this would happen, but it’s real.

People on there are saying they voted for Trump every time he ran and usually support his policies, but they are upset right now because he is pretending that there is no list of Jeffrey Epstein clients to release to the public. They don’t believe him. They’re actually becoming convinced that he’s on the client list because of it, which all of us on the left know is true already.

We know this because there have been victims of Jeffrey Epstein, like Katie Johnson, who said that Trump was a client and also raped and beat her. Conservatives don’t care about women, so they ignored this testimony.

But now they are actually getting upset because of QAnon. A lot of them followed QAnon. Q’s big thing was telling crazy conservative conspiracy theorists that there were secret signs everywhere that Trump would bring a day of reckoning.

He was supposed to release the Epstein files and destroy/arrest all pedophiles in a massive event where he saves the world. That’s why they all had to support him religiously.

Conservative’s world view is getting destroyed because he’s refusing to do this. They’re still in conspiracy mode, so they still believe in a lot of what QAnon said, they just think Donald Trump is the enemy now and has betrayed them all by switching to the side of the pedophiles.

This sounds like a good thing for anyone who hates fascism (and like we should talk about Epstein more) because fascism needs support from average people to continue. Trump’s losing support from people who are usually highly devoted to him and that means he’s more likely to get kicked out of the presidency. Everyone is willing to unite against him because of this.

So I’m going to call this right now and I hope I’m completely wrong about this, but I’m scared. I’ve been watching Trump’s patterns for more than a decade now. And this is what I think is about to happen next based on his patterns and the way he sows chaos.

Trump will probably in a couple of weeks or a month or two release some fake Epstein files. And it’s going to mess up everything.

Right now he’s lying about it all as a stall tactic while him, Pam Bondi, and Kash Patel create the fake Epstein files. It’s going to take awhile to create them because they need to use it to further their agenda.

But Obama, Biden (both Joe and Hunter possibly), Hillary Clinton, and Bill Clinton will all be on this fake list and also some celebrities Trump hates that have spoken out against him. Ridiculous people like Taylor Swift and Rosie O’Donnell, for example.

No republicans, unless they are considered RINOs by MAGA will be on this list, like Liz Cheney.

They will probably try to use this fake list to arrest some of their political enemies.

And they might get Ghislaine Maxwell to testify to Congress that these people did these things, that people like Obama and Biden (who were definitely not on the list), were regular visitors, in exchange for her receiving a presidential pardon or something. I believe they’ve already made a deal with her, which is why she suddenly wants to testify to Congress.

Maybe his base will see through it or maybe this will all excite them into extremism and violence. There will be more shootings of liberal politicians and other random people.

And everyone will forget that he said there was no list. They’ll forget that they thought he was on the list and instead keep freaking out about all the fake names on it, people in the same family literally fighting with each other over it.

If they say leaders from other countries are on the list, they might suddenly almost go to war with us. They will extensively denounce Trump and the list, further isolating America from other countries.

And a lot of new fake lists might show up and be backed by Marjorie Taylor Greene or Lauren Boebert or something.

Until whoever anyone guesses is on the list is now factual in their mind. And if someone tries to release the real list, its legitimacy will be argued about, no matter how much proof there is that this is the real list. Because there is now so many goddamn lists.

And Trump will use the entire thing to grow more powerful in his fascism.

I’m saying this ahead of time so you can prepare for this possibility and not be tricked by it if it happens.

But I hope I’m wrong. Im not psychic, so I could be wrong, but this is how he usually handles things.

As long as Trump keeps spinning this narrative that there is no list and no one needs to see it, everything is advantageous to us. But republicans always stoop so low and accuse democrats of whatever Trump is about to do. And he’s already saying that democrats created a fake list.

Because I think he’s in the process of making a fake list.
