It was a different time, a more civilized and gracious era, a epoch where elites could put aside petty differences and gather for leisurely dinner parties with their favorite pedophile ... wait, what the fuck.

This is a MAGA person responding to a post about Epstein. The line of argument they are developing in order to defend Trump is: Epstein was not so bad.

Eye-opening piece: Epstein “was a believer in the Washington Consensus, US military hegemony bolstered in the Middle East by the alliance with Israel, globalization, the privatization of gov functions, STEM-dominated education, & male-centered sexual hedonism—an ethos he took to sickening extremes.”
The Jeffrey Esptein scandal the main stream press is ignoring; he was a major player in American foreign policy with deep ties to Israel and other satrapies: www.thenation.com/article/soci...
Jeffrey Epstein Was a Warlord. We Have to Talk About It.

“Trump richly deserves whatever reputational harm and possible legal retribution may come to him as a result of his ties to Epstein. But, at its heart, this has always been a scandal about the ruling class as a whole, not one individual or political party.”

'It seems that Epstein was not a CIA or Mossad asset—not because he didn’t have it in him, but because that was too lowly a role. Rather, he was a power broker, an American oligarch, who played a major role in shaping western policy, which brought him in contact with spy agencies and diplomats.'
