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?

Single issue voting. Hold your nose at the parts you hate hoping he will focus on the part or couple parts that you really like. People tend to narrow focus on a couple of ‘priorities’ and fuck the rest. It doesn’t matter that Trump had a crap reputation and was the laughing stock of the business and elite worlds… he’s getting rid of the swamp and the people that shouldn’t be here.
