Democrats are repeating the mistake of attacking Trump on matters like the Jeffrey Epstein scandal that do not affect the poor, middle, and working class. Republicans will flip the message and win.

Summary
Corporate media’s fixation on Jeffrey Epstein’s lurid saga has lured Democrats into a MAGA‑spawned sideshow, the video argues. By spotlighting scandal over substance, they risk neglecting the newly passed Rescissions Act, the Big Beautiful Bill, and other bread‑and‑butter fights that directly shape working‑class lives.
The Epstein narrative remains largely an internecine struggle inside the Trump orbit; Democrats gain little by amplifying it.
Both parties bear past complicity: Biden’s Justice Department let Epstein files languish, softening today’s attacks on Trump.
The Rescissions Act of 2025 claws back $9 billion, targeting foreign aid and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which threatens hundreds of NPR/PBS affiliates.
Polling shows voters crave policy coverage; scandal saturation fuels cynicism and boosts Trump’s visibility.
Progressives win when they foreground issues like jobs, healthcare, climate resilience, and immigration reform, rather than focusing on celebrity crime stories.
A forward-looking movement trains its lens on pocketbook realities: rescinded aid that shutsters rural clinics, silences public broadcasters in media deserts, and loses jobs on stalled solar farms. It refuses to trade that focus for tabloid clicks.
