Seems the country is not aligned with the views on Lemmy.

    It isn’t the consensual sex, it is the context of Putin potentially having pics and Epstein being fully aware of it and the blackmail that goes along with that. Plus Trump is a fragile narcissist so keeping it in the news is funny.

    Also how personal Trump’s hate for Hilary definitely has jealous lover overtones now.

    I don’t think anyone but his homophobic followers thinks negatively about the BJ itself.

      Intelligent people are worried about the blackmail context of the emails, but intelligent people never supported Trump, so this is just another reason to hate him and a new reason to be worried. Among Trump’s core supporters, homophobia is a critical issue, it has always been a major topic for the Trump admin. Previously the Epstein files were just about pedophilia, and conservative states have always taken a softer stance on the topic with things like child marriage.

      There may be more important things to the story, but where voters can be swayed, the big story is “Trump did something gay.”

      Polls suggest that this is a minority position. Just because it makes sense to you and me doesn’t mean that’s where most people are. 😟
