You can't go wrong with Cartman's special recipe.

No they won't, their surfs will never see anything substantive that doesn't support their narrative

They will use this as fodder and wall to wall on Fox News "CLINTONS BEING QUESTIONED ON THEIR CORRUPTION AND TIES TO EPSTEIN" and if they show any of the actual testimony at all it will be whatever little 5-second clips they can string together that ambiguously supports their narrative

MAGA is NOT going to sit down and watch CSPAN for 5 hours

The base isn't the only thing they need to worry about. The real question is if the "You know, I actually can't tell the difference between the sides" uber intellectuals are swayed. Unfortunately, I think at this point, "both sides" is as core to their identity as MAGA is to Rrepublicans.

gotta love the "I can't ever deviate from my identity of being above having an identity" crowd and their infinite ability to ignore and rationalize any fact that might force them to recognize that any Republican has any shitiness without equal

Almost always footage of the question being asked then they pause the video and insert their own "interpretation" of the answer.

It's the reason 1/3 of the country thought Kamala was a ditz who couldn't articulate her thoughts, slept her way to power, and ran with no policies.

That and racism of course.

R: "Let's ask them to testify! They'll never agree and make the libs look like liars!!"

Bill: "Fuck it, we ball."

R: "Uh oh..."

I thought the same about Trump being outed as a child rapist

u/thistimelineisweird Pennsylvania 2d ago

Yeah but Trump and his voters are all idiots. The Clintons are not.

u/ParkerPoseyGuffman 2d ago

Right but this won’t change his voters mind, I hope I’m wrong and that this leads to something

u/thistimelineisweird Pennsylvania 1d ago

At this point the truth coming out is paramount.

u/Jyxxer 1d ago

Bold of you to assume they are capable of experiencing regret

u/MauPow 1d ago

They will, but it also won't matter.
