Regarding MAGA seemingly losing its shit over the GQP's handling of the Epstein files, someone on imgur commented this:
"I still cannot believe this is The thing MAGA is losing their shit over. I'm glad they are, but, fuck, this is what it took?"
I'm a bit surprised by it too, and I have a theory as to why this could be the issue to break MAGA support* - being a MAGA fanatic involves believing all kinds of bullshit. Without the Epstein case causing a stink, Trump has plenty of related baggage already which MAGA is not concerned about in the slightest, such as his beauty pageant antics, numerous rape allegations and cases, his sexual inclination towards his daughter, etc. (IMO if you've got all that shit under your belt, then what difference does adding a few more rapes on Epstein island make?) Anyway, IMO the difference between all of those cases and the Epstein case is that even in the RWM, the shit that went on on Epstein island is unanimously considered fact, so therefore MAGA believes it to be fact too, and when the GQP is seen to be engaging in a cover-up of what they regard to be facts, that's why MAGA is losing its shit right now.
However, I also wonder if that's maybe the only fact that MAGA has in common with reality is kind of a lifeline for them, because deep down they know they've bought into a whole bunch of BS solely for the greater good of avoiding even the most watered down form of progress being the Dems, they'll happily swallow a lot of bullshit, but this is a bridge too far even for them. On the other hand, considering that MAGA is so adept at disregarding information that doesn't suit their narrative, then why not simply disregard any information that links Trump to Epstein.
But what would really surprise me is if MAGA's outrage survives another round of RWM firmware updates.
