Trump Is Losing His Army of Internet Alpha Males Over the Epstein Files
Trump Is Losing His Army of Internet Alpha Males Over the Epstein Files
A promise to expose a corrupt elite has turned into a perceived cover up, and the powerful online influencers who helped elect Donald Trump are now in open revolt.
Pam Bondi invited influencers to the White House and handed them big binders that
accusing Bondi’s Justice Department of “covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes and murder.
Time for us to hear from FBI agents.
Notice the pattern? No one, not one would dare point a finger at where this buck stops: Trump.
Doing so is engagement suicide. And that’s how they make their living.
Hence, this headline is total BS. They may be mad, but none, not under any circumstance, would turn on Trump. They literally can’t. They will blame anyone under him first, which is already orthodox.
In a monarchy you can criticize the Prime Minister or any other minister in government, but it's treason to speak out against the King. If the King does something bad it's because he got bad advice from the PM. Even the opposition party is called the Loyal Opposition, as you're meant to maintain loyalty to the King even while expressing opposition to the government.
Nowadays most monarchies are constitutional and the King's speeches are written by the Prime Minister so it's actually correct to criticize the PM for the things the King says.
It's interesting how the MAGAs are behaving in exactly the same way people behave in a monarchy. Unfortunately the President isn't constitutionally limited so King Trump can do whatever he wants.
I really do think that a constitutional monarchy is better than a republic now. We have people in Canada that also believe that you prove your patriotism by being loyal to a guy that surrounds himself with gold. But they can bow to King Charles and it doesn't matter because he has no political power. Gotta have a King so the subservient part of the population can feel happy without fucking things up by creating a King that has power.
You're right cause the conservative subreddit doesn't dare to say the T word, they just say "both parties are the same" and other centrist takes the moment trump does something they don't like
Is he? MAGA doesn’t care. I just talked to a MAGA today. It’s press sensationalism and bullshit, to them. I reliably get the parrot of the main byline in play from that MAGA, and that was the word today. They don’t care.
This reads more like the commondreams, dailybeast, newrepublic, HuffPost headline echo chamber filler that always tell you what you want or expect to hear.
A sample size of one isn't something you draw conclusions from. That's just bad science. Now if you said you work somewhere that everyone is a Trump supporter, 50-200 people, and they're all saying this, then yeah, I'd believe you. But, a sample size of one, come on man.
Fair. But it fits the trend. We’ll see how it goes with others this week.
I can get no one to admit any iota of criticism towards trump in any conversation. The only thing I’ve heard from the MAGAs is “his social media should be better”, and that’s it. It’s a wall of unity and parroted statements.
Even the insurrection wasn’t an insurrection, but a few bad players or, my favorite, paid performers, that went too far.
I’ve yet to hear any MAGA in alignment with these commondreams, newrepublic, dailybeast, HuffPost headlines that try to grab onto what the left wants, or even needs, to hear, since 2016.
Read the Tweets the article is quoting. Do you see a single one criticizing Trump directly, not an underling?
I think we have seen that MAGA isn’t one body, that there were the tech-bro MAGA Doge edgelords, and the MAGA who opposed them.
This is the point in every “successful” movements story where they have won the struggle for power, and start receiving the bounty. And realise that the leadership idea of bounty doesn’t match their expectations.
Just like a soldier who goes hard for the recruiter’s promises of glory and honour, but realises it’s a life of being an utter bastard, and dying in a pool of their own blood and shit and their friends body parts.
This reads more like the commondreams, dailybeast, newrepublic, HuffPost headline echo chamber filler that always tell you what you want or expect to hear.
Gizmodo isn't bad, but they're also kinda known for this among the tech press.
It's why they're still alive I guess...
The part that makes things feel doomed in a Google search engine enshittification kind of way is when the articles with similar vein headlines read almost verbatim to one another, like everyone is scraping from everyone else instead of doing their own organic work on it.
But if you only ever doom scroll headlines, which some individuals do, you’ll never catch that pattern.
How many people are actually maga? MAGA and r’s share some beleifs and the r’s are starting to realize that their pastry has been taken over by the alt right.
Maybe it’s just my people but it’s die hard republicans who’ve now transferred their affiliation to MAGA because that’s what’s Republican. These are people who parroted all the bylines from Limbaugh when he was alive, and now they do the same with the new pundits.
Sure, you run into people who were Republican, and now can’t stand the party, but they were moderate already, at least in my experience.
Republicans are very good at staying tight and repeating the sanctioned dialogue like a chorus line of parrots. None of the transfer to MAGA surprises me.
“Pam Bondi invited influencers to the White House and handed them big binders that literally said ‘Epstein Files’ in huge bold letters on the front. If the files never existed then why did the White House do that?” Walsh demanded. In another post, he added: “The Attorney General said she had the client list on her desk. The White House made a big show of giving binders marked ‘Epstein Files: Phase 1’ to a bunch of influencers. Now they tell us that there is no list and we should stop talking about it.”
They were either lying then, or lying now. Or both.
Definitely both
Trump: "They told me there was a list. Everybody said there was a list, and people told me we had it and we were going to release it. But you know what? But you know what? There wasn't any list folks, they lied to me and to you, isn't that awful? Just terrible, unbelievable."
Thing is, they may well be angry with him. The big question is are they angry enough to vote for a DEMOCRAT!? Or to not vote and risk a LIBRUL winning!? I doubt it.
"Trump losing" this and losing that is a bunch of smoke and mirrors. His support will not dip. JFC how many articles, "this time it will be the end of Trump" stfu this is noise, this is not news.
X Doubt
This is more than usual. He got ratioed on one of his posts about this on his own platform - a first for him. The anger has also lasted longer than usual for the MAGA base. I suspect most will probably end up going back to him, but if even say 10-20% don't that's significant and weakens his grip within the Republican party. It opens the door to some degree of criticism of Trump within right wing media environments
Can't predict the future here, but this is unusual for MAGA so I wouldn't write it off as nothing
You should read the memo circling around
There's a memo?
"perceived" cover-up.
It takes a little more for some to perceive the obvious.
Donald Trump, a rapist, is losing popularity among men who want to rape.
🤪😂🥹
must really chap their nips that no matter how many vids they put out about women in their 20's being "past their prime" they still can't influence pedophilia into the mainstream
No he's not. I basically refuse to believe that anyone exists that is capable of walking back their support of Trump.
🤞 pls gain momentum
he just hired one of the ghouls as ambassador to malaysia.
Still not convinced that guy isn't doing an extended bit he's extremely committed to lol
Again, it doesn't matter how popular or unpopular Trump is. He is a "lame duck" President now. He either cannot run again (if the law meant anything at all), or he will have fucked up the election integrity so bad to allow him to run again that nothing about the election will be legitimate and it will be rigged AF. The only ones that need to be worried about popularity are the congressmen and women that are still electable and are supporting his speed run into dictatorship. In 2026, if the elections are not already rigged by then, we have one last chance to remove his cronies and the useless spineless Dems that are standing by while our democracy crumbles. And then those new congresspeople will have an uphill battle fighting back against a mad president and a bought SCOTUS. Otherwise, it doesn't matter if zero people actually vote for him. Dictatorships dont give a fuck about democracy.
How the hell did they find a photo of Trump without any spray tan?!
Also they're annoyed that they are not privy to that sweet pwning of the libs the were promised, but not that their god-king is likely a paedophile.
Look by his ear he still has it on it’s just a more natural shade.
They´ll have moved on after two less than a weeks
it was quite well known before musk ratted him out. theres like a trillion pictures of him with epstein. also...you know...if all of these made up "trump lost this and that believer" were true, he would have no followers left. yet ice and racism is blooming.
" . . . and the powerful online influencers who helped elect Donald Trump are now in open revolt."
Are they, though? Are they really? It's not a "revolt" if they just go on voting for Trump no matter what.
Trump an Alpha male? He's essentially a Gamma male-ish poser
He's barely human. I have trouble believing he has conscious thoughts. He acts on animal instinct at the same level as a toddler. He's basically one of the most failed humans in history
He himself said that he hasn't changed since either 1st grade or kindergarten. He thought he was bragging. He didn't realize he was telling the truth.
Clickbait,
MAGA's don't give a shit the guy could literally come out a pedo and someone would still support him.
I wonder what those idiots grief about? Did they hope to get their idol exposed as a child-fucker? Like "He stronk, he get away with serious crime"?
Hopefully soon every sect or group that follows the orange scumbag will fall off.
Oh no how unfortunate.
I feel like at the end of the day most of them only care about exposing the Dems, which is noble and fantastic, but they're not ready for their heroes to be exposed.
also the fact many of them are donors, that arelikely donating to both PARTIES.
Gizmodo? The fuck…
He'd probably play better to them if he just admitted it.
Pretty sure the majority of them would jump at the opportunity to rape a 12-year old.
Moms for liberty probably support it as long as the girls are married
I can't tell if they didn't expect fallout like this, or if the files are so incriminating, even after redactions, that this fallout is still preferable. We'll probably never know, but I'd bet on the latter.
We've known for years that Trump regularly sexually assaults women and has for his whole adult life. What would confirming that he did so on a few more occasions in the 90s change?
