    I think there’s too many people who signed on because they believed Trump was going to punish pedophiles

    That’s the reason they give, but I don’t think it’s the actual reason. Him being on Epstein’s list didn’t shake their faith in him.

      If you confidently say something out loud enough times it starts becoming pretty embarrassing to backtrack on it. If they can’t even come up with a justification that’s convincing in their inner monologue, they’ll have to either backtrack on being pro-Trump or being anti-pedophilia. This might sound absurdly optimistic, but I actually think most magas would have an easier time revoking support for Trump than saying they don’t care about pedophilia.
