    And? These allegations were also known since 2016. But that didn’t stop anyone from voting for him, twice.

    • His Conspiracy Theorist supporters will call it an AI fake, created by the deep state.
    • For his Christian voters he’ll be redeemed if he pays 50 shekels to the girls father and marries her.
    • His nazi supporters might say: “Whell that’s not nice. But at least he’s getting rid of the immigrants.”
    • His sexist supporters will say “Well 13 might be a bit young, but after all it’s her fault for wearing such a short skirt. And with these kids nowadays you never know their real age”.
    • His MAGA supporters will say “I don’t care, he’s our saviour. If he deems such things necessary, who am I to question him.”
    • The Idiots say “Well he might be an asshole, but Kamala Harris also did some bad things.”
    • And his courts say that it’s already barred or he’s got immunity or he just enacts a new law that makes rape legal if the perpetrator is a politician. He’ll have the Congress’s support, as soon as the files are released.

    Did I forget anyone?

      Those things aren’t known by everyone. My conservative MIL didn’t vote for Trump having known about those things, but my SIL did. She was shocked when I told her about it.

      Americans generally aren’t as well educated as many other countries of its caliber and a bit part of that manifests in media literacy and general interest in anything, really. My SIL claims she made her decision to vote for him because his campaign page was more convincing about lowering prices and Karris’ I kid you not.

      Yeah this is a single anecdote about a single person, but this largely has been my experience.
