They all went silent when all those trump+ivanka+epstein photos came out. I haven't seen a peep in weeks and it used to be constant drum beating.

It was never very real anyway since they have no problem with people like Matt Gaetz or organizations like the Catholic Church.

My worry is you've got it slightly wrong and trumps base actually has people who just want to shoot _SOMEONE_ and the brief pedo obsession was just a way to label who is ok to hurt that day. Trump is great for them since he constantly says intentionally othering things like "genetics make better people"/"his supporters have better genes" and "all immigrants are criminals sent here by other countries" and "your immigrant neighbors are eating your pets" and "trans men athletes just want to hurt women in sports".

It literally doesn't matter - people brought guns to protests and even broke in and stormed the capitol trying to get to the senators. I don't think any of them are anywhere close to holding trump accountable for anything, including paving the way for Putin.
