The fact that the crowd’s response to “You protected pedophiles!” is to chant “USA! USA!” tells you everything about MAGA.

They aren’t denying it. They can’t. The entire GOP has been covering up the Epstein files, slow-walking the release, redacting Trump’s name. When you can’t defend it, you just chant USA louder to drown out the truth.

That protester is braver than everyone in that room combined.

They still defend it but I don't believe any of them actually believe it. My maga father admitted to me that pedophilia is not a deal breaker for home before he stormed out of family therapy.

I imagine most MAGA are like this too.

A few years ago maga was adamant that all LGBTQ people are "groomers". They used that word massively during the 2024 campaigns. They were obsessed over drag queens for supposedly "sexualizing children". Now they have to admit that they’re fine with pedophilia as long as it’s conservatives doing it.

Only "big, strong men" are allowed to do things like sexualize children and abuse women.

Otherwise, how would anyone know how "big" and "strong" they are?
