      Trump is a narcissist in the highest position of power.

      He will do ANYTHING to protect his own interests.

      Threatening your 1st amendment rights is of no more concern to him than who is folding his laundry.

      It isn’t that this isn’t significant—it is. It is just important that he doesn’t get the response he wants, which is to save his own ass by attacking our rights.

        And if you don’t react to it, like you suggest, you lost your rights. That’s FAR more important than Trump’s ego.

        Honestly, I’m seeing this mostly from the Dem officials and people who take their lead. I think it’s a symptom of not being able to actually communicate with people like actual human beings, and’s not being able to formulate a coherent vision.

        They just look at increasingly dated poll numbers and keep playing the same song on repeat.

        Liberals who spout this bullshit aren’t leftists. Leftists understand that the US government was never going to save us from itself.

    Nah. Getting rid of critical media voices is not a distraction. If anything, it’s what they want you to be distracted off.

      I’ve been saying this for weeks.

      They dont fucking care about the Epstein files. They’re not going to release anything incriminating.

      Meanwhile, the US has gone full mask off authoritarian fascism.

    How fucking privileged do you have to be to write-off the administration stripping constitutional rights as a “distraction”?

    288 people liked this.

    How many comments of “great where are the Epstein files” would there be at the end of a couple months if we all posted that to different posts.

    86,000 if we did 10 a day for just a month. 86,000 “where’s the files” on the most popular posts that then get viewed by probably hundreds of thousands.

    When people say “oh the right have big bad companies with money” just remember, those companies are trying to do what we would do naturally and for free. We just need to coordinate and get on the same page. You’re not just some island casually viewing. You’re participating, and the includes if you choose to not participate. It’s the same principle as voting. Those that choose to not cast a vote are still voting.

    It was a bad tactic when the communists were doing it with Gaza, and it’s still a bad tactic when the liberals do it with Epstein.
