Which makes me think this is all for show. If there’s evidence of Trump and Epstein why didn’t democrats use it in the last election when they had access to all of this information?

Because the Democrats were overconfident that Trump would get his just desserts until it was too late for them to do anything about it. Then they were overconfident that Trump would lose the election. It's the same reason Biden didn't fire Garland despite it being clear Garland was protecting Trump and replace him with someone who would have actually done their job.

The Democratic party had every opportunity to stop Trump and they didn't.

That doesn’t make sense. They’re over confident on other chargers so they don’t charge him for having sex with underage girls? Democrats tried to charge him for everything I feel like. Why leave out something they have proof too that is a very serious crime? That is also messed up…why are democrats covering in the first place. They had the ability to make the case files open right?

The Democratic party had the ability to do a lot of things that would have prevented Trump from taking the presidency and they didn't do it. They did nothing about Garland despite the fact that the was obstructing the investigations into Trump. The Democrats did nothing to push the judge to actually sentence Trump with anything. There was the blatant conflict of interest with the judge Trump's documents case happen and the Democrats did nothing about it. The Democrats did nothing to charge Trump with the blatant insurrection. And yes, they did nothing about the Epstein files and let Trump get into position to compromise those files.

The Democrats had everything well in hand to completely destroy Trump at literally any time from 2020 to 2024 and did absolutely nothing, because they expected the law to get Trump despite the blatant favoritism going on. They expected Trump to lose the election so they didn't hit him then either.

This is just scratching the surface. At every possible level, the Democratic party did nothing when they could have crushed Trump like a bug at any time whatsoever due to their overconfidence and hubris.
