This is like something right out of a dystopia Image
More than 200 people showed up to protest the warehouse plans in Hagerstown on Jan. 20 in below-freezing temperatures. “One of the most obscene, one of the most inhumane, one of the most illegal operations being carried out by this Trump Administration is what they’re doing at the Department of Homeland Security and ICE,” US Senator Chris Van Hollen, a Maryland Democrat, told the protesters. “We do not want an ICE facility here in the state of Maryland.”

So the Epstein files dump

1. Protected a lot of predators

2. Created another partisan food fight.

3. Failed to create any obvious pathway for these women to get accountability.

4. Included a number of clearly unverified claims that can be used to undermine the very legit emails
In my mind, I wanted these files released because

1. don’t care about the partisan affiliation of these monsters
2. Wanted justice for the girls
3. Hoped that this would stop the government from enabling crimes by the very rich.
4. Perhaps create another cultural swing away from misogyny.
We know for sure that the following people are in the Epstein emails
• Elon Musk
• Howard Lutnick
• Kathy Ruemmler
• Richard Branson
• Andrew Farkas
• Peter Thiel
• Steve Tisch
• Leon Black

I don’t think the richest guy in the world should be cutting funding for cancer research.

Republicans know banning abortions is a losing issue for them but they can’t stop doing it (yesterday’s decision out of Georgia). I think this is a harbinger of things to come, a movement against the morning after pill, birth control pills and once republicans are done with that, they’ll come for no fault divorce.
The question is why, why are republicans willing to lose on taking away women’s rights?

Ultimately I think the answer is the right is so tied to far right religious zealots and evangelicals they can no longer unentangled themselves long enough to shift their message
Do republicans want to take away more rights from women? Absolutely

Is that a winning electoral strategy? No

Trumpworld has worked the refs so well that you have people who think a criminal conviction will help Trump.

This is preposterous
Swing voters and lower information voters are not going to be “won over” by the fact that a jury found Trump guilty of falsifying business records to hide pay offs to the adult film star he cheated on his third wife with. Did I mention this was right after the birth of his 5th child?
Could Trump still win?

Absolutely

Does a criminal conviction help Trump?

No.
