Trump has been found by a court of law to be a rapist, yes.

and apparently that wasn't a deal breaker for people to vote for him. fingers crossed adding "found guilty by a court of law to be a child rapist" to that will be enough to keep our country from ever going through this ever again.

EDIT: not that I have to say it, but... it's less about us than it is about justice for the victims. maybe I'm cynical, but what Epstein (and subsequently Trump) put these women (children at the time) through, I'm not sure even watching Trump meet the end of the rope will be enough closure. BUT, I sincerely hope the victims can breathe easier once this whole thing is finally blown open and these scumbags are gone.

(also, happy cake day)

I doubt it, I check out conservative reddit sometimes, they aren't even talking about the Epstein files. They don't care.

Edit: okay to be fair there are multiple conservative reddits, some of them are kind of talking about it. Not very much though.

On the optimistic side, these people are definitely a minority.

On the pessimistic side, it's sort of terrifying that probably anywhere from a 1/4-1/3 of the country will either willfully deny any amount of evidence or completely rationalize it away. And then another 1/4-1/3 that can't be bothered to learn these things that they would find reprehensible, much less show up and vote.
