How Denial About Pedophilia, Rape, Sexism, and Racism Perpetuate Harm

The devastation of the Epstein conglomerate, its massive, tangled web of deception and corruption, with a global reach, and decades of dangerous operation is an unveiling that has long held an agenda to keep us blind. Its web weaves and wraps around institutions, financial connections, intelligence agencies, and more, all while exploiting, traumatizing, and abusing children, while still prioritizing the system and structures that enabled the abhorrent actions of the humans within them. We see the current administration working to control the narrative, propagandize the viewer (an ongoing problem), pretending to be accountable (“The most transparent president in history”), with such strategy and calculation, and an obvious cover for those they want to protect, and those they wish to destroy. All of us have been manipulated, even the left in its trust of expertise and the educated, yet the MAGA right has been deeply betrayed in ways that captured their undying loyalty, and used them to continue criminal, greedy, narcissism, all while they suffer, either unknowingly, or in denial, or in the perpetuation of the suffering of others. It is all classic cult behavior. And I’m not just talking about people. The system was designed this way. To exploit. To oppress. To manipulate. To push the divide between the small numbers of the wealthy to the mass numbers of: the rest of us. As painful as it is, we must find a way to see anew. To untangle the illusions. To end the fantasy of an always “great” America. A reckoning is upon us. A rebuilding is in demand.

There’s a social media post by “Kyle Mccabe” going around, originally posted on 2/3/26 that provides an unsurprising, but alarming defense of Tr*mp saying, “Enough with the Tr*mp is a pedophile ‘lie'” and claiming the left are the ones falling for propaganda.

The projection that those of us who see through the Tr*mp administration’s BS, being accused of not seeing past our own noses, is yet another clear indicator that MAGA is a cult. Let’s talk about projection. But before I get to that, if overwhelming evidence of Tr*mp being a child rapist isn’t enough to stop defending such a vile and dangerous POTUS, will blatant racist videos be? I mean, half of us have always known Tr*mp is a racist and a rapist, but MAGA (and Tr*mp defenders, and “both-sides” hiders, who pretend they aren’t MAGA)- what do they stand for, really? Apparently nothing of value. Definitely not the constitution. On 2/5/26, Tr*mp posted an AI video of the Obamas on his “Truth” Social account, in such a blatant, obviously racist way, using a racist idea that has been around forever. Tr*mp lies that he is the “least racist person ever” and yet, he is believed. When he says that, most of us see through it, because what he’s really saying is, “I’m the most racist person ever”. We know this because of his actions over decades of his loser, racist life. But even when it’s blatant? I can already hear MAGA (and the Tr*mp administration): “Well, that’s not what he meant.” “It was just a joke, you snowflakes.” “It wasn’t actually Tr*mp (my idolized cult leader) who posted it.” The excuses are disgusting. 

“I’m the least racist person ever.” An account by him called, “Truth Social”. Truth. See? It is perilous when we fail to see.

Asking us to stop calling Tr*mp a pedophile- Gosh, that sounds familiar- Tr*mp also just said that he thinks we should move on from the Epstein files while he berated a female reporter (Kaitlan Collins- we need more like her), using the most classic of sexist deflections by telling her she should “smile more”. It’s obvious guilt trying to change the subject. The vast majority of women (see me raising my hand) have heard this so.many.times by sexist men who cry that they were only trying to be nice or complimentary. Gross. Do we not recall Tr*mp’s ownership of Miss Teen USA, and his comments about going into their dressing rooms? Why isn’t that enough, even without the Epstein files?

The people who want accountability will not be silenced.

The right: “Stop calling Tr*mp a pedophile!” As if this is just coincidental? I guess it will take a lot more than photos, victim statements, eyewitness testimony, phone and email records, bank statements, audio recordings, flight manifests, videos, a person with 34 felony convictions who was held liable for sexual assault, even his own words, who brags about grabbing women by their private parts, and more to even suggest there might be a solid case! Oh, but that’s right- Tr*mp himself said he could gun down people in the street, and they would still vote for him. (And he’s right, even that’s happening, and they still defend him. “But he wasn’t the one who”- No. Just stop it. The denial is nauseating.) In addition to that, it won’t even take obvious child rape accusations for them to even say he should be held accountable to the law and due process! They dropped 3.5 million of 9 million docs, and they were massively redacted. Think the missing files are cleaner? Less violent? Less despicable? It has already been reported that the files not being released contain “death, abuse, and child porn”. We have to read between the lines of, for example, the birthday wish Tr*mp drew and wrote to his pedophile pal, Jeffery- obviously sketched of a young pubescent girl, and with code language for something quite sinister. What do people really think that “secret” is he’s talking about? The “certain things” they have in common? A similar taste in music? Doubtful. C’mon, folks. There is a theme. This is common sense…

If MAGA finally recognizes the projections, do we think they’ll recall “pizzagate” and see the truth of what’s going on here?

Speaking of coincidences- I’m quite sure it isn’t one that the Tr*mp administration has weakened departments that investigate child trafficking… 3800 children have been kidnapped by ICE, too…so far. So much for “save the children”…

“Stop calling the files evidence, they’re only allegations!” Wrong. The Epstein files are collected FBI evidence used in the criminal cases of Epstein and his associates.

“If Tr*mp were guilty, he would already be in prison!” Is the right really that naive? Tr*mp ran for POTUS to avoid prison, people! (He doesn’t care about you.) And filled the SCOTUS with judges who caved to allow him immunity! How is it not obvious to these folks that powerful, ultra wealthy people are getting away with crime? That’s the theme of America! Oligarchy! See why most of us are not shocked about how we got here?

We know who has, and will be trying, to steal elections and get away with it while, yep, you guessed it- the projections about who’s stealing elections and cheating will be spewed by the Tr*mp administration. They are making it harder to vote while passing a bill pretending it is “saving” America. (It’s called the “Save America Act” and it is one of the most dangerous voters suppression bills we’ve seen that will disenfranchise millions of voters. But they pretend it’s innocuous, by calling it the “SAVE” act.) See? Who is this act saving who from? Let’s think about it… (Hint: racism is also a subject of this blog post.)

“The left is falling for propaganda!” Wow, that’s rich. Propaganda is what got Tr*mp the support he needed from MAGA. His entire propagandist operation shifted the culture, which was right out of the authoritarian playbook of post antidemocratic empires! It was the core element of his strongman leadership gain. If he has been successful at anything, it was pulling off the greatest propaganda operation in history. It’s exactly why he undermines the press, science, and expertise. It’s why all the scapegoats in Tr*mp’s fear mongering propaganda are NOT in the Epstein files. And the right says we are making it worse for victims by calling Tr*mp a pedophile. Really? There are multiple beyond multiple accusations by women and children but we’re “cheapening” victims (Mccabe’s words), and falling for propaganda, if we call Tr*mp a pedophile. MAGA has learned well from their dear leader: Every accusation is a confession. In other words, we’re not the ones falling for propaganda. If Tr*mp and MAGA don’t want us to call him a pedophile, perhaps they should stop protecting and defending pedophiles.

“Tr*mp has been investigated more than any other president in history!” Gee, I wonder why… Speaking of propaganda- do you see? This fact is what Tr*mp uses to pretend he’s been unfairly “attacked” and then uses it to go after those who had the courage to try and hold him accountable for his lies and crimes. Exhausting.

“You should demand facts and honesty!” Ha! From the president who is a proven liar? Who lies on average of 20x/day? Who has a proven track record of tens of thousands of lies from only his first term? “But all politicians” Stop it. That misses the point, and is yet another excuse to not see what is dangerously real about Tr*mp’s massively grotesque pathological lying problem, not just the general understanding of “lying politicians”. Also, we’re not demanding evidence, or facts. The evidence is already there. The facts are clear. The actions are non-stop. The evidence is overwhelming. We’re demanding accountability. We’re demanding justice. We’re asking the investigators, who are presented with evidence, to do.their.job. But once Tr*mp got into power the second time, he learned to make sure he was surrounded by people who wouldn’t hold him accountable, but would rather cover and perpetuate his evil (while most of them profess to be “Christian” and/or wear crosses around their necks and keep defending empire). Christian nationalism is also how we got here. The web of the Epstein power and influence is massively widespread, and connects to the rape culture found in unhealthy evangelical churches. Epstein used Dr. Dobson’s articles to groom his victims. Think about that.

A racist post in a video, a racist trope that has been used incessantly to justify slavery and harm, was shared after the “National Prayer Breakfast” (don’t get me started on that…) where it was said by Christian Nationalist Paula White, that Tr*mp is the “greatest ‘champion’ of Christianity”. See? He’s the “least” racist person; he’s the “greatest” champion of Christianity. He’s the most “transparent” POTUS…The prayer breakfast was used to tap into the base, repeat blasphemy about Jesus, prayer, the bible, and Christianity, to continue the actual propaganda, to excuse hypocrisy for power and proximity to power. It is fraudulent Christianity. It is dangerous when we fail to see.

The racism, the sexism, the cruelty- is the point.

“But Clinton.” “But Biden.” So?! I don’t care! Clinton is mentioned in the files over 50 times. Investigate him. Biden? 0. But they keep on responding, “But Biden this, and Biden that…” (Again, having learned well from their dear leader who does the same thing, always blaming Biden.) Tr*mp is president. He was mentioned 38,000 times in the Epstein files. I want all child rapists held accountable. We don’t care what party.

(It might be relevant to know that Mccabe’s own replies to the comments in his post show him doing the same, predictable, banal thing when people call him out: posting memes about Biden. “Biden this, and Biden that”. It’s all they’ve got.) Mccabe’s FB page is also full of hundreds of fake photos, disinformation, and AI generated crap. That’s quite telling…

When people defend Tr*mp, it just confirms who’s unsafe: those who defend Tr*mp. 

We are not going to stop. We’re never going to let this go. We want to know who sent the email asking about a preference to “do” someone or torture them, permission to kill someone, who threatened, who assaulted, and other vile crimes, where torture, and child porn, and abuse, are mentioned over and over again, etc… Why do you think other countries are investigating and prosecuting, but not the U.S.? Because our government is protecting powerful people. There is zero credibility in Tr*mp’s administration. None. There have been no investigations, no arrests, no inquiry, just shoving aside (Patel) the most obvious, most massive trafficking ring, not because there is nothing credible (it already exists and people have already been convicted and jailed for it), but because of the idolization of power, and the actual propaganda that fooled them into fearing the wrong people, so that the most vile, corrupt people in power can continue to exist, hold powerful seats in the U.S., and get away with racism, rape, sexism, crime, cheating, violence, and more while also ripping off the people who bought into his lies! Even Epstein himself, the convicted, appears to be responsible along with Russia, Tr*mp, and others, for fueling the propaganda to deflect the truth, and rile up the MAGA base. Sadly, it worked. Devastatingly, it’s still working.

This isn’t anything new, either. Time and time again, victims aren’t believed, and are silenced, while their perpetrators are tolerated- especially if they are the “useful idiot” as Tr*mp is to Miller, and the agenda of Tr*mpism and authoritarianism. See? Tr*mp is just a continuation of white, powerful men that this country’s systems protects, time and time again. Some use more decorum (JD Vance) as a cover, others have no shame, and don’t bother with caution and civility (Tr*mp). But it doesn’t even matter that Tr*mp is particularly and openly vile. The history of this country has always protected people like him- it is ingrained in this country’s systems of power. That’s the design. Those of us with historical acumen see what’s going on.

It’s a transformative, healing thing: to see anew. It begins to become apparent where the fruit of the spirit manifest. Cultivating these fruit is a lifelong spiritual practice for all of us. It takes great courage to stand against tyranny and corruption, but that is how we bring about Beloved Community. That is how we create the kin-dom of God here on earth, and sometimes, it means naming, with clarity, what’s going on, no matter how uncomfortable it makes us. It is a prophetic witness to denounce such immorality and cruelty.

Still don’t want us to call Tr*mp a pedophile? Still defending him? Even while your lives are getting worse because he lied to you about everything he promised you? Maybe try reading all of the files until you decide to believe the victims, and stop being complicit and on the wrong side of history. Wild isn’t it? Thinking being undocumented is worse than being a pedophile? Fearing DEI more than dictators? Thinking that being trans is somehow “dangerous” to children? (Back to the subject of propaganda. See?) MAGA is mad at the wrong percentages of the population while the billionaires laugh behind their backs. And now we know that Tr*mp posted a racist video about the Obamas. (Guess who doesn’t appear in the Epstein files: the Obamas. Happy Black History Month!) Think all of this horrifying reality of killing people (citizens too) on the streets, kidnapping children, pedophile rings, making a fool of America around the globe, grifting and corruption unlike any other, and blatant racism (it’s not even dog whistles anymore), and more, will make MAGA think twice, this time? I doubt it. But MAGA is a cult, so we remain unsurprised by MAGA’s idol worship, constant boot licking, “both-side-ism” and projections. But you know- it’s still an open invitation for all to finally say, “I don’t want to align with this abhorrent evil anymore.” People are able to break out of cults. Being healed of spiritual blindness is a specialty of Jesus.

Oh, and one last thing: Tr*mp is a pedophile.
