When It Comes to Trump–Epstein, I Am Always Right About MAGA, Because Zombies Are 100% Predictable

There is no mystery here. No great puzzle to solve. No room for nuance or persuasion or good-faith misunderstanding. When it comes to Trump and Epstein—when it comes to the deal that has now clearly been made between Donald Trump and Ghislaine Maxwell—the behavior of MAGA is entirely predictable. Not because they are misinformed. Not because they are blind. But because they are captured, doctrinally and emotionally, in a cult of authoritarian grievance where truth is irrelevant and loyalty to the leader is the only virtue left.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I am always right about MAGA, because MAGA no longer thinks. It reacts. It obeys. It conforms to the logic of the lie, and it does so with a consistency so robotic, so servile, so inhuman, that the only fitting analogy left is zombification.
Zombies don’t break ranks. They don’t ask questions. They don’t change course when the facts shift. They don’t even flinch when the crime becomes so grotesque that silence itself becomes complicity. They just keep moving forward, chewing whatever flesh their leader points to.
So let’s talk about what just happened.
Ghislaine Maxwell—Jeffrey Epstein’s partner in trafficking, recruitment, grooming, and abuse—sat for nine hours with Todd Blanche, a man who is no longer just Donald Trump’s criminal defense attorney, but a senior figure inside the Department of Justice under Trump 2.0. She told him that Donald Trump had done “nothing concerning.” Nothing to report. Nothing troubling. Nothing at all.
This, from a woman who is currently serving time for trafficking minors to the rich and powerful. A woman who moved in the same circles. A woman who has lied before to cover for men like Trump. A woman who just happened to get moved to a cushy women’s camp—a prison she does not qualify for under Bureau of Prisons rules—immediately following her meeting with Blanche. Pilates, minimal fencing, sunlight. That’s the reward.
A lie was traded for freedom. Silence for protection. It could not be more obvious.
And yet the MAGA faithful, once again, will do the only thing they know how to do: pretend they didn’t see it.
They’ll say it’s fake news. They’ll claim it’s a liberal smear. They’ll insist Trump is the victim—again. Or maybe they’ll just quietly scroll past the headlines, close their eyes, and wait for their next assignment. That’s what zombies do. They don’t argue the facts—they evade them. They walk around them. They grunt and lurch toward the next battle in the culture war, because engaging reality would mean confronting the unbearable truth: their savior is a criminal, and they are protecting a monster.
This isn’t a failure of intelligence. It’s a failure of integrity. A failure of moral will. MAGA knows what Trump is. They’ve known for years. They just no longer care, because in their world, winning matters more than right and wrong.
There’s a reason the Trump–Epstein connection had to be neutralized, and quickly. Ghislaine Maxwell is the last living person who can speak credibly to the names, the meetings, the rooms, the islands, the arrangements. And while most powerful men in those files are surely guilty of something, only one of them is in a position to grant her total freedom. Only one of them has a Department of Justice at his disposal. Only one of them is President again.
Maxwell's statement that Trump is “clean” is not an exoneration. It is a transaction. It’s a signal to the boss: I’m staying loyal. Now pay me.
And pay her, he did. The prison transfer is just the first installment.
Still, the MAGA base will go along. They will go along even when the Epstein files remain sealed. Even when the cover-up is happening in plain sight. Even when the deal is obvious, and the cost is the continued desecration of justice for the victims. Why? Because this is not about Trump anymore. This is about them. Their identity. Their willingness to play a role. They’ve accepted their part in this, and now they can’t stop.
It’s 1930s Germany all over again. You don’t need a swastika. You don’t need brownshirts or bonfires in the streets. You just need enough people willing to go along, again and again, no matter how obscene it gets. That’s how authoritarianism works. That’s how systems rot from the inside. That’s how democracies become shells of themselves, ruled by men who should be behind bars but instead are above the law.
And MAGA will be there, all the way, rotting with it—because zombies can’t stop. They’ve been conditioned not to.
So yes, I am always right about MAGA. Because MAGA is no longer a political movement. It is a death cult of the mind. It’s grievance reanimated as loyalty, cowardice painted as strength, and submission disguised as rebellion.
Trump could do anything. Bury the Epstein client list. Pardon Ghislaine. Burn the DOJ to the ground. It wouldn’t matter. The MAGA base would nod along, grunt their slogans, and move on to the next lie. Not because they believe it—but because belief is no longer required. The machine has replaced them. The virus has consumed the host.
So when I say I’m always right about MAGA, it’s not pride. It’s pattern recognition. Zombies are 100% predictable.
And they just proved it yet again.
