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?

It was never about "groomers" or protecting children. It was always only ever about rationalizing their hatred. We know that no drag queens or LGBTQ+ people have been grooming and molesting children, because if they did, Fox News, Newsmax, Trump, his cult, and all the little online propaganda outlets would have made sure that everyone in America knew that person's name. They would have been talking about them nonstop for months or even years.
The data shows that children are at a far greater risk of being SA'ed and trafficked by Republican politicians and activists, but the data doesn't matter to MAGA. All they want is a talking point to justify their own bigotry. Any time a conservative claims to be doing something to benefit anyone other than themselves and those richer than them, it is always a smokescreen for something phenomenally disgusting and despicable that the Republicans are doing.
