Trump already defused the whole idea of allegations against him with his base, he’s dodged so many accusations and consequences for so long that his loyal base assumes everything is fake.
Major conservative spaces didn’t even cover this, and what they did report on was neutered or downplayed. The vast majority of Trump supporters believe the “epstein files” are as boring as they sound from the title, like a dossier of intelligence names and places and abstract sorts of legal accusations being spun to make Trump “look bad” but they’re not making any mental effort to look at it realistically or even glance at the actual files with anything but skepticism and doubt.
They, willfully in many cases, don’t let themselves examine the reports and consider that it deals in human lives and a lifestyle of cruelty and abuse that would be at home in the most brutal prehistorical settings.
The 2020’s broadly is the decade where a lot of people learned you can succeed in life by sticking your fingers in your ears and going LALALALA as you barge headfirst into entitled demands that the world bend for your wants.
And since we atomized as a society, abandoned community and the social pressures that come with it, these people largely succeed with this tactic because nobody stands up to them long before they gain power and money.
