One explanation could be that these people have attached themselves so much to the MAGA right that accepting such evidence would shatter their worldview.
Their worldview is based on beliefs, not facts. When beliefs are contradicted, it's as devastating to psyche as a death in the family. Most of them will never work through that. After WW2, some 30% of Germans couldn't come to terms that they weren't the good guys.
I was just saying in another thread, I have 1 friend who fell down that rabbit hole. He actually believes Trump is on the list now and agrees with me that Trump had Epstein killed. Baby steps. Maybe there are others. A man can hope.
Trump didn't have to have Epstein killed, he had already attempted to kill himself previously and that is why he was in the cell he was in. He was on suicide watch and was supposed to have a roommate. Trump's DOJ just had to make sure sleepy overworked overtime guards were on duty, and no roommate for Jeff. His last gift to Jeff not having to face any consequences, and Trump not having him as a witness. They both won.
Not that I disagree with you, but I feel like that's splitting hairs; if you know someone is actively trying to kill themselves, and you use your power to make sure nothing is preventing them from doing so, to me that's murder.
Not to mention the heavily edited prison CCTV footage.
Lmfao seeing that "tough guy" walk for the first time was hilarious. It reminds me of all the chubby guys who puff out their chest and walk with their arms out as if they're musclebound and thinking we can't tell. Nobody's scared of you, man.

That the same people who believe Pizzagate without evidence dismiss Epstein/Trump with evidence astounds me.

It's all about in-group belonging. Facts don't matter. Riding the high of being with the winning tribe is all.

Trump is not a pedo. Trump is a predator who's also incestous AND a pedo. Don't short-change the guy.
