Reposted by Elizabeth Barrow Kat Tenbarge @kattenbarge.bsky.social · 18/07/2025I think one of the reasons there’s so much cognitive dissonance on the right about Epstein, child sex trafficking, and their own heroes is that they don’t think of the victims as real people. They view the abuse as an intangible evil but when real victims come forward they ignore and deny them 1242788447
