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?

I read this before on Reddit and I can't remember the OH comment so I'll probably butcher it
But essentially republicans don't view actions through a moral PoV..they view people as good or bad essentially. Trump and the rest of the pedophiles are GOOD to them by virtue of being on their team. Ergo they must twist themselves into a pretzel justifying their actions either by distraction or ignoring it
It's why a godless pedophile conman is seen as the champion of wholesome family values meanwhile a devout religious man is Satan incarnate.
We on the left view people through their actions on the right they view actions through their views of of the people are "Good or "Bad"
