I was listening to a radio show (CBC) who had an expert on voting demographics. He was saying that a fairly sizeable portion of Trump’s base were irregular voters. That is to say, they only turn out if they feel strongly enough about something, and the promise they believed was that he would fight corruption.
They also have a core belief that the gov’t is run by a cabal of pedophiles, and that Trump would fix that. Backing down on the Epstein files is a huge slap in the face to them.
So while you’re absolutely right that these people would probably never cross the aisle and vote democrat, as you say, what they’re more likely to do is just not vote.

I just watched Cody Johnson’s new podcast and he made a good point:
trump and “the left” kind of forgot about Epstein, but for a lot of MAGA that shit was the whole point.
Like, remember that guy who shot up a Chucky Cheese knockoff because they wouldn’t take him to a basement that literally didn’t exist?
This was the thing MAGA was built off of, and trump just fuckin forgot.
