Frankly I love this, because now we get to watch the conservatives squirm.
Is Bill Clinton a pedo for associating with Epstein? Or are they going to walk back all of their statements and say Clinton did nothing wrong writing a sex trafficker a birthday card?
All the Democrats I know are fine with locking him up if evidence against him surfaces, but boy howdy is it gonna do a number on the conservatives in my life.
to them, trump can do no wrong, so anything he does gets excused. they’ll happily tear down others for doing the same things that trump did. trump humpers don’t operate on logic

They really aren’t squirming. We have to stop letting the stupid algorithms and memes we subscribe to color our thinking about the reality of social divides.
The right broadly is happy as pigs in shit right now. They DO NOT CARE about Epstein or any of the other “scandals” broadly. They’re just happy their angry, orange Jesus is making the nasty, nasty liberals and trans kids cry. They wanted all of this, they don’t care about crime and law and consistency and leadership and the economy and policy. They just care about the narrative and the narrative they are hooked into right now is that the left broadly is screaming in rage and they LOVE IT.
There are some here and there who are really uncomfortable and it may be a wedge issue for them, but don’t get fooled by amplified minority voices on any topic.
The minority voices here are more important than you think. The hardcore MAGA base is not that big, and they need more mainstream conservatives to go along with it–the ones who say “I hate Trump, but Hillary/Biden/Kamala would be worse”. You start cleaving away pieces of MAGA, and it will fall apart as a political movement.
If they weren’t shameless hypocrites, yeah. You really think they’ll have any issue saying Clinton is a pedo for associating with Epstein, while in the same breath saying Trump did nothing wrong for that exact same thing?

The hypocrisy and inconsistency is on purpose.
