cyan_messThe right saying that the left wants to forcibly transition kids was, again, projection.
The things is, epstein wasn’t right or left. He played both sides as long as it served him.
It also makes complete sense for people like that to not give a fuck about political ideologies, because politics barely affect them. Laws or policy just get ignored, its just something to keep the masses distracted with.
Trump would actually be the same if it wasn’t for being addicted to the populism that comforts his ego. Still be a racist and fascist in nature of course, but not actually caring about political power as long as they can do whatever.
I disagree, the elite are right wing. They believe that there should be an in-group, the ultra-wealthy, that society supports but does not restrict. They are capitalists, both in the ideological sense and in the sense that they own capital. The most moderate or them are conservatives who see that they have benefited from the status quo and seek to preserve it. The radicals are fascists, neo-monarchists, theocrats and the like who seek a world order that is even less equal and less fair for the common person than the pseudo-democracy that we have now.
The right more broadly are the many millions of rubes that have bought into the propaganda created by and for these elites. They are those who are primed to believe their lies, because they have fear and anger that overwhelms their critical thinking, limited access to education, culturally embedded and reinforced bigotry, and privileges that they are told depend on the status quo.
