> Images from the birthday book are littered across numerous threads on 4chan’s “politically incorrect” messageboard, and some users have suggested that Democrats are spamming the site. Overall, though, the reaction to the book feels somewhat muted, given its contents. Despite the volume of posts, the tone across social media feels disproportionately apathetic. “So what do you want to do about it?” one poster wrote in response to the Trump letter. Even in communities such as Reddit’s r/conspiracy, there seems to be a broad feeling of not knowing what exactly to do with this information. Some threads contain the usual amateur sleuthing and theorizing. There is also a good bit of anger toward Trump and Epstein. But among those who have engaged with the document, much of the reaction has a “dog that caught the car” vibe.
This is actually really haunting. If you are shocked by these revelations, there is no recourse. No lever you can pull. The FBI literally had a book of names and confessions and gave up on the investigation at the whim of one of the implicated. The opposition party is powerless except in small doses. And they are feckless at the electorate level.
