They are stupid. However the whole point is to not let the issue fade into a black hole. If everywhere you turn an 'epstein' post or comment shows up, it will not get buried by the gaslighting that trump does daily. In a normal world (which the USA is not in right now) this pedophile freak would be on trial and jailed already. This could go on for another 2-3 years, less if we are lucky.
Hasnt the us president done worse things by now?
Then just call him a pedophile and don't minimise the effects of the crime by making it lighthearted enough for Joe Schmoe to joke about at a dinner table thinking they're funny.
Like tell me how repeatedly saying "grab 'er by the pussy" worked out as a joke. It did jack. People seem to be thinking this is some big protest movement when all it is is keyboard warrior stuff that doesn't get anything done, and I honestly I hate saying that because I ideologically agree with anybody who says that.
At a point it just feels like there's a reversal of the initial intent where it unintentionally starts normalising jokes about sexual assault.
Humor helps inform people of issues they would normally avoid on the nightly news or in conversations with others. Proof? George Carlin, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, just to name a few. Humor is a powerful tool that can make change.
There were loads of people who did not hear him say ‘grab em by the pussy’. Meaning we should have been saying it even more often. We should absolutely be bringing up the files constantly.
We should 100% normalize making fun of sexual predators.
We should 100% normalize using judicial process on predators.
Both can be true. Both should be true
