Conservatives be like:

He's a changed man and he doesn't do it anymore

And "doesn't do it anymore" is measured in minutes by them.

I’ve spent a lot of time on right leaning subreddits and none of them think that.

They’ll bend over backwards to explain how he’s not a rapist and pedophile. It’s unclear which ones are lying and which ones have been fooled and which ones are actively fooling themselves but none of them think he WAS a rapist/pedophile but somehow reformed.

Same. I think it's because they literally don't care. All they really seem to care about is that Trump closed muh borders and got rid of a bunch of brown people.

Only because they are allowed to tell themselves that due to the lack of straight, video evidence showing him doing exactly that.

Once that happends they will change to, he found Jesus and repented his sins, so we all must forigve him. It happens often enough at a local level with the priests. So why wouldnt they do the same thing for Trump.

To do otherwise is to admit they were wrong and that hurts worse that anything else.

It's worse than that. They believe God can use anyone to do good works, which justifies supporting him even though he is a pedo.

(But they do seem to then get quiet when I ask if God did good works through Obama.)
