- Well just read some good old Veblen's Theory of the Leisure Class or Pareto's (yes that Pareto) Circulation of the Elite all written hundred years ago, to understand this pattern is ancient. It doesnt break because it relies on human nature. Too much power corrupts everyone.by jggh
- Massie is interesting, his whole identity as a politician seems to be challenging his own party on populist lines like this. It's one thing to use Epstein as a weapon against democrats when out of power, it's another to create headaches for the Trump admin that clearly wants everyone to forget about this now.
I feel like that tension led to the end of earlier, more Qanon-adjacent politicians like Marjorie Taylor-Greene and Matt Gaetz. Massie seems to have more staying power for now, but we'll see.
