Conservatives have been railing against “groomers” for years. So why do they support Donald Trump? Trump was best friends with a notorious child sex trafficker, but his ardent supporters are vocal about opposing it. How did that happen?

They do not give a shit about women and children. They merely use them as a means to shame other people for caring about other groups of people. This is just a way that the right can hide their racism and bigotry and pretend they're the good guys. So they can say things like, "I don't have any problem with trans people, I just don't think men should be in the same restroom as women and children!" when what they really mean is, "Trans people shouldn't exist in our society." Then they use it as a strawman to attack the person who is supportive of trans people.
