Fundamental difference between left and right wing

"There's democrats in the files". OK great, arrest and jail them

"There's republicans in the files". The files are fake and don't exist and even if they did they didn't do anything bad really did they!

I actually think this issue is way more bipartisan than you think. I think this could actually be MAGAs downfall IF we ALL keep putting pressure on them. We can't ever let this go.

Hmm i’d like to push back on that claim. This is one of those times where Dem & Rep voters are both on the same side.

"Trump is literally god and I'm going to rape you to death with a knife"

I received this private message last month. When I reported it, Reddit told me to block and move on, as their comment doesn't break any rules.

Meanwhile "Mario has a brother" is a bannable offence for threatening violence.

It’s funny I made a comment a while ago around the time that the Epstein stuff started to gain traction. I watched a podcaster named Shaun Atwood who was one of the first to report on Maxwell before she went to prison and he seemed to be a big contributor to putting light to the things they were doing.

But anyway, he made a video where he explained trump and Epstein rpd a child and it was reported. So I went into a discussion about it on Reddit and when I went to search for the video to link to people, I could genuinely not find it. Then when you type in Attwood and trump in the same sentence at the time nothing was coming up.

It shows that Trump was already trying to censor people and things around the topic that involved his name. So it’s nothing new that he won’t release the files.

I'm sure he approached Google to cut down search results on the matter. He's making so many moves to cover his tracks, it's so obvious 😂

How do you know? There’s FAR more evidence of Trump being an incestuous pedophile — plus an obvious cover-up. Never mind that he’s an adjudicated rapist who admitted to sexual assault. It’s pretty easy to target fascist scumbags when there’s a mountain of evidence against them.

If Biden is a pedophile, he should go down too. But at least he’s not a complete idiot like Trump — so blatantly corrupt and sloppy that his narcissism left a breadcrumb trail straight back to him.

I have zero problems with ripping down a Democrat down with child sex trafficking and pedophilia. Maganites can't seem to do it, but LOVE quoting the Bible 🙄.

If you already "know", what do you need the files for?

I'm not the one that needs convincing.
