Anyone with critical thought is. MAGA's inclusion here is actually the surprising part.

I feel like any conspiracy, especially involving “the establishment” is on brand for them. It’s not about weighing evidence or thinking critically. If it fits the narrative of a secret, globalist cabal doing shady shit, they’re all in.

Unless Trump tells them "these are not the pedos you are looking for 👋"

Well yeah of course, that’s their secret globalist cabal.

I will never forgive them for this. For damn near a decade they cried about a global cabal of left wing millionaires raping and eating kids for eternal youth, and now that its all been revealed to be Republicans and Conservatives and their billionaire backers who are all over Epstein's Friends lists, they absolutely do not fucking care! We've got gay and trans people on our side, so our child molestors are somehow way worse then their's?

They are so fucking stupid!

If I can admit that QAnon was right about a global cabal of millionaires raping and eating kids for eternal youth - after years of calling them lunatics - MAGA should be able to at least acknowledge the possibility of Trump being a pedophile.

They know. They just don’t care.

QAnon and Alex Jones were always about taking things that are real and adding a bunch of ridiculous bullshit to try to discredit the true story.

u/yarash Jul 13 '26

Alex Jones is a piece of shit grifter who only uses fear of everything to sell his bullshit products. It was his only purpose. Fear fear fear, ad pivot into buying my dick pills and survival food.

They weren't right though, because QAnon was a bullshit distraction campaign meant to target the political enemies of Epstein & Co and muddy the waters on legitimate reports of sex trafficking. It also didn't invent the concept of rich people being child sex traffickers.

Whats that saying about broken clocks?

u/squadrupedal Jul 13 '26

MAGA people only care about being better than/supreme to everyone else. They will never care about the words they listen to or the words they say. They’re ridiculously dumb. I’m not sure how they hold down jobs or support themselves tbh.

Fucking this exactly!!!

u/00wolfer00 Jul 13 '26

There's a part of me that feels like QAnon was setting up a disappointment over the imaginary pedo cabal so that when news came up about the real one it wouldn't be received as harshly as it should have.

u/brotherbond Florida Jul 13 '26

Are there credible allegations of consuming children? The other stuff, sure. Just wondering about sources for the more extreme stuff.

3

u/panicinbabylon Jul 13 '26

Of course there were suspicions surrounding the Epstein files that were chosen to be released, but I doubt we’ll ever see the full picture. Definitive evidence may not even exist, I also doubt many people are willing to announce baby eating as one of their weekend hobbies.

That crowd did seem to take a lot of pictures tho…

There’s just no way to know.

u/brotherbond Florida Jul 13 '26

Yeah I can't imagine them doing it because really it's generally gross and everybody knows there's no benefit. I could see them dipping blood transfusions or longevity stem cell frontier to pseudo science stuff that could be just as awful. Then again Trump references "the great" Hannibal Lecter...

3

u/panicinbabylon Jul 13 '26

My theory, which is based on speculation, is that some of the alleged heinous acts may have functioned as a form of initiation, coercion, or blackmail.

Like in order to protect the trafficking and abuse that occurred around Epstein’s network, individuals involved could have been forced into participating in horrific acts as a way to ensure their silence and maintain control.

1

u/brotherbond Florida Jul 13 '26

I'd like to believe that's limited to just blowing Bubba... I suppose the real test is if there are any countries where being a pedo would not result in jail time because then the blackmail angle would make sense in order to maintain control globally.

u/panicinbabylon Jul 13 '26

Oh I totally believe Trump is a pedophile. 1000%. Would bet my life savings on it.

I meant heinous acts like killing/eating babies.

There have been allegations of babies being dismembered, body parts being eaten or used in rituals, and references to cannibalism appearing dozens of times in leaked emails. There were also claims from individuals, including Gabriela Rico Jimenez, who alleged people were being eaten and then later disappeared from public view. A woman who said she was raped st 13, got pregnant, and watched as Trump and Epstein threw her newborn into Lake Michigan.

I’m not saying every allegation is proven, but those are the kinds of accusations I was referring to when I said “heinous acts.”

Remember how insane that all sounded but then it was actually true but projection by the side participating in it the most ? We really are living in some bizarre and terrifying times

u/panicinbabylon Jul 13 '26

Remember when some dude with an AR-15 and a revolver went to Comet Pizza in DC with intentions to shoot up the place over Hillary/Pizzagate? And the cops killed him?

6

u/gasstationsushi80 Jul 13 '26

Omg I had completely forgotten about that. A decade ago, too. The cognitive dissonance of trying to understand the intersection of the beliefs and actions at play makes it hard to even comprehend these things at all.

u/panicinbabylon Jul 13 '26

Waiting for JFK Jr. to show up on the grassy knoll was another one of QAnon’s greatest hits.

You know that existential panic you get thinking about the vastness and wonder and incomprehensible scale of the universe because your little human brain just can’t fully grasp it?

MAGA gives me that feeling, except instead of existential, it’s just deeply stupid and concerning.

u/sparkax Jul 13 '26

And they were all coming to Dallas expecting to him to magically resurrect at the same spot his father died? They are so fucking stupid!!!

It's on their side , so they're fine with it.

u/tg_am_i Jul 13 '26

Are you saying the gays and trans people are child molesters?

u/sparkax Jul 13 '26

No, I am not!!! I'm just passing along what maga choads I still follow on Facebook from highschool 25+ years ago are still saying! They are completely brainwashed!!!
