    It doesn't matter. Not even a little bit. Trump could proudly say that he fucked minors on Epstein's island and it wouldn't change their minds.

    The blatant contradictions in their world view and "values" are part of the point. Fascists don't want equality, they want a world in which they are better than you. If Trump wants to fuck kids, he should be allowed to do so because he is at the top. The rules don't and shouldn't apply to him.

    Everything and I mean everything they criticize about others is spectacle and theatrics. They want Clinton to get hanged for no real reason other than because she's the enemy. They don't care or probably even know what she did and it doesn't matter, what matters is that they're Team A and she is Team B.

    QAnoners and other fascists want a world in which they can do whatever the fuck they want but you can't, that's it. There's no point debating any of it, it's an inherently insane world view and it's immune to any sort of reasoning. They know it's unfair, many of them probably know that it's not "good", but they want it anyways.

    Point is, and I really mean this nicely, don't bother with these questions. When right-wingers say "think of the children" it means absolutely nothing, if you literally showed them evidence of Trump molesting children that wouldn't even faze them. The rules are for you, not for them.

      I think this is the big thing. These people come to QAnon with notions already firmly in their head that Clinton (and basically every Democratic politician, every university professor, teachers union leaders, you get the idea) is evil incarnate and Trump is a great man. The idea that Clinton is some master pedo enabler just dovetails really well into their existing beliefs. They don't actually care about kids, they just like having some pre-packaged community that reinforces and turbocharges their fantasies about their "enemies".
