There’s literally a straight line between Trump, Epstein, and the retaliatory lawsuits against women who came forward with allegations against celebrity men like Amber Heard and Blake Lively. They all even have the same PR folks. And yet people still refuse to see it
What the public does not understand about these retaliatory cases is that what is on trial is the ability for men to abuse their power against women without consequence. When women lose defamation lawsuits for speaking up, men win the right to abuse with impunity
Whether Blake Lively is a good or likeable person is not on trial. Whether women should be allowed to report sexual harassment in their workplaces without facing retaliation is what’s on trial
The way the public participates in these trials is also extrajudicial deterrent from speaking up against sexual violence, which is in many ways more powerful than any court case. This is part of the potential Epstein, Bannon, and their allies saw from the online alt-right
