I don’t think you understand the situation we’re in.
Someone could literally release a photo of Trump having intercourse with french poodle. And he would not be impeached or removed from office.
It’s frustrating that anyone doesn’t realize this by now.
Trump is a vector for power. He is like Santa Claus. He goes around giving people wonderful gifts: a few billion here, a crucial bailout there, an ambassadorship, a pardon, or just license to enact fascism… He gives people things they want or in some cases desperately need.
Popular will only matters on election day, and even then only in a few specific places. Every other day, the only check on Trump’s power is people who rely on him for their power, and most of those people have no red line where something is too awful for them to tolerate in exchange for power.
The good news is that Trump isn’t invincible: his weakness is that his power and that of the many people who support him are susceptible to collapse of opposed by a mass movement demanding justice and social welfare broadly. But the Epstein thing is just for fun. It doesn’t actually matter.
