I certainly agree that disgust of pedophilia does cross party lines. So I am not suggesting that they will be accepting of it.

I am just sure they will believe it no matter what the list says. They will say it is manufactured evidence from the deep state out to get him.

I participate in a sports oriented board that has a political sideline. It skews heavily conservative with the most vocal being heavily MAGA. They keep saying he isn't on the list and that he is just protecting someone else. In fact, the fact he isn't releasing the info just leads them to believe that it is an even higher level of heinous that society isn't prepared for. They seem completely to disassociate from the simplest explanation that he is protecting himself.

When pressed as to why they are so sure, the only thing they come up with is that they are absolutely positive that Biden would have released the list if he were it. They have been conditioned to believe that Democrats are so evil that whatever we do is actually somehow a sign that Trump is completely innocent
