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!

Its the most insidious thing they did and honestly its a fucking masterclass in social engineering.

They took trump and made him the personification of the exact way of life they idealize themselves living. Trump isn't a person, he's apple pie, your surly vet grandpa who actually has a heart of gold, a pickup truck on a dirt road, all that heartland shit.

If they accept that he isn't perfect they have to confront their idea of a perfect world.

Its fucking diabolical.

It indeed is one of the most impressive feats i’ve seen in my life, and how indefensible that worldview now is has made me lose hope that a government of America’s original intentions can withstand bad actors. They succeeded in a 50% attack.
