For weeks, Trump and members of his administration, some of whom spread anti-Democratic conspiracy theories about Epstein, have been trying to quiet the MAGA base after the FBI declared there was no client list and that the disgraced financier died by suicide. The same manosphere that boosted Trump isn’t letting his administration off the hook on Epstein, even as Trump has tried to dismiss the whole thing as a hoax.

The young men in his base aren’t doing better economically, and also feel stabbed in the back by Trump’s refusal to RELEASE UNREDACTED COPIES OF THE EPSTEIN FILES.

    Cosigned - me, because this shit you just said is absolutely on point.

    This is what I absolutely despise about western culture, especially in the US. The grindset. Everyone just wants to be pointlessly wealthy. Accumulating wealth has become something of a gamescore now, and everyone needs to be grinding these fucking coins to rank high on the leaderboard when they die.

    People are no longer happy, too busy running after the gilded carrot.
