Charming or not, he's most likely a rapist, though. The question is largely, "To what degree?" Yet people still love him. They want his wife to be President, despite the fact that she stayed married to a rapist so she could ride his name into the White House one day. And she, for her part, actively worked to silence and discredit his victims.
That's horrible. Those are horrible, horrible people. But they're very popular, mostly for what they say vs. what they do, and this gives me both pause and alarm.
That was my point; you said that in your view, liberals will more quickly pivot away from someone who's been "tainted", and frankly I don't think that's true. I think you can be as dirty as it gets, and they'll still support you as long as you say things they wanna hear. And, of course, if they're "charming", as you said.
I think that's pretty much the case on both sides; I just don't think liberals move any quicker to pivot, I think maybe they're more selective. But then I find everything they do to be very transparent and predictable.
