The effective declaration of martial law in DC is getting plenty of coverage and people here (and elsewhere) are still dismissing it as a distraction from the Epstein files. This is more of a head in sand business.
Yeah. The thing is that it is a distraction from the Epstein files. But it is also distraction from all of his previous crimes, because that is how he has always functioned. He is a barrage of shitshows to distract from any individual shitshow. That was his previous adminstration as well. So even without the existence of the Epstein files, he would still be doing all this shit, it is just what he does. He normalises his crimes and his fascism by constantly doing new crimes and fascism.
And yes, the military deployment in the capital is pretty ominous to put it mildly.
So he distracts from previous crimes by doing current, arguably worse crimes? He's making it legal to torture immigrant kids, but somehow the kids Epstein hurt in the past require more attention?
"Epstein distraction" is basically a meme at this point, and online people love regurgitating memes.
Do we actually think that if we bring it up in our online spaces often enough, they're actually going to hold Trump and the rest of the rapists accountable? They see us as sheep, being "aware" and nothing else only makes us bleating sheep.
