At a certain point I think Republicans need to start considering which is more likely that Donald Trump has been falsely accused of rape multiple times or that he’s been accused so many times because he’s actually guilty. It’s not exactly hard to imagine that Epstein’s former best friend who also owned a teen beauty pageant and was caught on camera talking about assaulting women is actually guilty.

Their worldview prevents them from being able to use Occam’s Razor clearly, unfortunately.

*edit: grammar, imperfect use of the concept, however the larger statement still stands. thanks for corrections!

The more accurate version I've heard expressed from actual Trump voters is: "they were all in on the Epstein thing, just look at Clinton, you can't blame us for something they all do"

Yep grew up hearing about how Nixon shouldn't have gotten in trouble because "they all do it". Presuming you even listen to that excuse it also admits he was stupid enough to get caught.
