That might be true, and it might not. Observers expected the "grab em by the pussy" audio to sink Trump in 2016 and it did not. In fact, his hardcore base doubled down on their support of him.

I think the reason MAGA cares about Epstein is because Trump and his campaigns have made a very big deal out of the issue of child sex trafficking ever since 2016. It was used against Hillary then. Films have been made about the issue, marketed heavily to fundamentalist groups. It's been a steady drumbeat of propaganda aimed at smearing Democrats.

All while Trump's behavior toward his daughter and friendship with Epstein - documented in decades of photos - were being ignored by MAGA. Not to mention the obvious disappearing of children and young people via ICE.

I am not hopeful that MAGA will wake up. But at least some of them seem to have noticed that something is a little off.
