I would argue that the Epstein class’s control is just a symptom of the problem rather than the problem itself. The problem itself is a lack of quality engagement with politics such that “Donald Trump’s endorsement” and ads that said Massie voted to impeach Trump (he didn’t) were able to convince so many people to vote against Massie. We have always had propaganda pushed by special interests and other elites, but in past decades we have also had a much more engaged and knowledgeable electorate—people more invested and better able to invest in politics beyond “what I heard most recently must be true.”
It’s also important for me to note that even this issue is itself a symptom of an even deeper problem: many people don’t have the time or energy to properly engage with politics because they spend so much of their time working and so much energy with the bare necessities of merely living.

Easy. They get ppl to be so poor and so dump, then blast their eyes with fake news and fearmongering to drive them to the pole. Baam, anyone can be unseated.

Something is definitely rotten in DC.
The Fox election rigging machine knows something they don’t want us to know. It’s time to find out what.

Do what Murkowski did in 2010 or no balls.

if you look at Trumps favorability rates he still has support of rough 35% of the country. That’s enough to win a close primary. Especially when you can portray Massie as a traitor.

I don’t really agree with this take. It is as simple as the fact that republican voters voted for the person that Trump told them do. Massie betrayed his trust so he screwed him to send a message to any other republican left with the backbone. The Israel aspect is just a smaller part of it.
Trump is like a more popular Obama within his party at this point. They worship him for single-handedly reviving the party and handing them borderline unlimited power. Any republican candidate he wants to win will do so at this point.

Just like how Elon rigged the election for Trump. Can’t wait to get purchased by a rich white man to be raped and forced to repopulate.
