It still surprises me what a 180° pivot she has made.

[–] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 26 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I don’t think it was a pivot at all. I think she truly drank all the deep state kool-aid and believed Trump when he said he was going to drain the swamp and release the files. When he resisted releasing them she simply decided he was part of the deep state too or at least compromised by it.

The incredible part is how at no point will she question her world view because of this. The Jews still have space lazers, Dems are still drinking the blood of children, and The Left are still evil.

Still can't trust her at all...

I trust her to continue being a self-interested stupid nincompoop.

Oh, no...she's just as batshit crazy as she seems. This is just one of those moments where the broken clock happens to be right. She's a dyed-in-the-wool "pizzagate* conspiracy theorist...and for that crowd, Epstein was always considered one of the main ring-leaders of the Democrat-led "baby brain-juice" drinking, devil worshiper cult.

Like most of the MAGA crowd though, up until recently, she was just focused on the fact that Epstein had documented ties to the Clintons, while also clinging to the delusion that Trump had disowned him once he found out he was a pedophile.

She's still 100% on team Trump...but now she's just struggling with the cognitive dissonance about him also covering up for all Epstein's "clients". I honestly don't think she's fully accepted the fact that he's one of them, though.

It's so funny to me that people think anything she's ever said has been genuine. She's just getting ahead of the backlash because her MAGA grift ran its course. She's smarter than she appears, and has no principles other than self-enrichment. I imagine she's still planning on running for senate after the backlash plateaus.

God yes thank you. Between the Epstein files and Trump's dementia having fallen off the cliff, she sees the writing on the wall. I've used your exact words, "getting ahead of" the upcoming disaster.

[–] Goretantath@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

Nah, she saw the ship was sinking and is trying to save face, that's all. Still a vile pos underneath the facade.

[–] boaratio@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

She knows which way the winds are blowing. She's a grifter through and through.
