Trump thinks that his supporters are idiots

That’s been obvious to the rest of us for a very, very long time. But I suspect Pedophilegate may be an inflection point for at least some of his supporters.
It isn’t difficult to understand. We are not talking about complicated policy or process issues. The Epstein case was already highly salient to Trump supporters. None of them need to be convinced that the underlying crimes actually happened. More broadly, the Trump administration is currently enacting the precise “conspiracy playbook” that QMAGA are primed to “see through.”
About an hour ago, CNN and NBC reported that Ghislaine Maxwell was moved to a minimum security camp in Texas.
According to sources who have spoken on the condition of anonymity, she has been moved to FPC Bryan, about 100 miles northwest of Houston.
The reason for the move is listed as a “lesser security transfer” (code 308) according to a transfer document I reviewed, which is completely inappropriate of for inmates who are in the early stages of serving their sentences, according to another source. “This is such obvious corruption. I have never seen this before,” said another person at BOP familiar with the situation.
The unit that approves waivers for sex offenders to be moved to minimum security camps is the Designation and Sentence Computation Center near Dallas. Currently, the senior deputy assistant director is Rick Stover, a career BOP employee who speaks frequently with White House officials.
Even if this doesn’t continue to shake the base, it still is a potential “red pill” for softer Trump supporters. Opponents of the regime would do well to aggressively connect Pedophilegate to the administration’s diversion of law-enforcement officials away from human-trafficking investigations, its “gutting” of the State Department’s anti-trafficking division, and the “green light” its given to corruption and money laundering.
It isn’t like the pro-democracy movement has any real choice other than to move as quickly, and as forcefully, as possible. The Trump administration is likely gearing up to engage in politically-motivated prosecutions — ones designed specifically to distract from Trump’s involvement with Epstein,
