The Slow Drip Strategy: How Propaganda Numbs the Public

In this episode of The Rule of Law Brief, Nate Charles examines the latest congressional release of Jeffrey Epstein’s emails — including Epstein’s own statement that Donald Trump “spent hours at my house” with one of the young women later identified as a trafficking victim.

Rather than focusing on the salacious details, this episode explores a far more dangerous dynamic: the deliberate “slow drip” strategy that numbs the public into indifference. Through controlled disclosure and incremental normalization, outrage becomes background noise. The moral baseline shifts.

What begins as horror ends in apathy — and that’s exactly the point.
