I mean, I've not heard of even the Trumpy-est of Trumper's saying rape is perfectly okay, so it's like they use copium instead. I suspect that rather than claim child sex abuse is okay, they'll claim WHATEVER evidence is provided about Trump WRT the Epstein girls is not enough to conclude he did anything wrong, just as they did with all the other cases.

As to what they *really think* about all of it I'm not sure, but I doubt we'll hear anyone make that argument publicly about children being trafficked. However their threshold for suspicion of guilt is absurdly high when it comes to Dear Leader, that much is for sure

therefore the number is non-zero. I don't think that number is as high as 37%, however. Especially not when it comes to child rape.

I *really* hope not, put it like that

37% though are cultists in complete denial when it comes to IQ47, about EVERYTHING bad, however. That is demonstrably true

Many of those guys have cult leader immunity within their own megachurch.

By their vote for donnie, they impliedly voted for, support and apparently approve of child rape.

God help us......

It's absolutely wild how fast of a 180 MAGA did on the subject when they found out that he's got a bigger role than they previously thought and it's insane seeing the justification of it.
