MAGA has had pedophile conspiracies since the Clinton years, so to see their Beloved Leader involved ~~would actually~~ should cause him political harm, but it won't.
if it wouldn't, they wouldn't be trying this hard to bury it. you've got to understand that conservatism is an idealogy fueled mostly by disgust at its core. they're immune to shame, reason, and for the love of God stop trying to point out hypocrisy.
but they will sway when faced with things they already spent their entire lives grooming to be disgusted by. not in a "woah Trump is a pedophile after all? this changes everything" way, they're not capable of that. but younger generations are more prone to think things like "Damn, unc Rogan really did get me to vote for a pedophile. what if I did just get groomed?". And getting those kids to shut the fuck up and actually watch what their parents do can change them.
this is the kind of realization that flooding the zone and telling impressionable young boys that they're super smart and know better than everyone prevents
I agree with everything you said, but Trump isn't a normal political leader. He's their cult leader, and every accusation is a lib projection! You will never get them to turn on Trump.
Maga won't. they're batshit crazy and will just instantly take to TikTok about how pedophilia is normal actually. for them, disgust is transferable.
but Gen Z had functioning brains once. I saw them have brains. they're capable of learning new things which is why Maga hard focused on selling them tough guy meme shit last election. they're not full on the crazy juice yet even after this PR stunt with Kirk but people gotta stay tuned in to what they actually respond to before the Christian industry sucks them all up.
Not just that, it also devalues the information contained within as extortion leverage.
If everyone already knows, how's he gonna threaten Senator Perpetrator with exposure?
Edit: grammar
