    There is so much wealth backing up the incentive to never disclose the contents of the known files that someone like Trump can literally just babble about being uncomfortable disclosing the contents in the most guilt-steeped, incriminating way imaginable (as he did) and even face backlash for it by millions, and STILL the news cycle will bury it, nobody will be allowed to question him on it, it will disappear like everything else that could potentially harm the wealthy.

    It’s wild how many people on the right are still locked into a fantasy world belief about rings of powerful cultists kidnapping children to perform rituals and drain their essences like some kind of Indiana Jones movie… meanwhile they are sending money to the very people who sponsor the world’s most elite and expensive child-sex-trafficking operations.

    They rather the darkness of the world be packaged into some kind of fantasy-scape Hollywood narrative so that it’s easier to dismiss and not actually worry about, something that can be set down and walked away from the way you would a bad movie. This preserves the emotions and assuages the fears and guilt.
