    I don’t think the kompromat angle makes sense at this point. It may have once but now? What could they have that would matter? Americans voted for him. Full on piss tapes being leaked online wouldn’t make a difference.

      Yup. We know he’s a rapist, a racist, and a criminal, and that didn’t lose him any support. What exactly could there be that would turn off his supporters? At this point I really don’t think anything would do it. They’d just say “well, on him it looks good!”

        They could have Epstein videos of him fucking a thirteen year old and I’d bet there’d be a referendum on lowering age of consent to twelve. And I’m not sure it wouldn’t pass at this point.

          Why would they lower the age of consent for people who (in their eyes) don’t have rights to begin with?

          People as things, that’s where it starts.

      At this point, even if there were photos of him fucking 10 yo kids, he would just say it is ai and his voter base would not give a fuck.

      Video of him with an underage blonde girl whom he calls “Ivanka”. She’s the one and only person he needs in his life. And she’ll abandon him.

      Do you not know how vain this old shit diaper is?? The man colors his skin orange. To him, it most certainly makes a difference.

        Does it though? Trump cares about his crowd sizes. He doesn’t give a fuck that people think he abuses women. He wears that shit like a badge of honor. He proclaims his corruption loudly and his fans think it makes him shrewd. I honestly can’t imagine what Putin has on him that would matter. Maybe a picture of his tiny… hands, but he’d just claim it was faked.

          Pedophilia gets higher support among republicans because it shows he can commit worse crimes and get away with it.

          I feel like that would be different. Video evidence would remove a lot of plausible deniability.

            Nobody would or could see the evidence as that would be very weird, immoral and also illegal. Very easy for the people denying it to just call it fake news or AI or whatever. It would require trust in the justice system which is pretty much non existent for MAGA followers, and more recently also eroded in the saner part of the population (albeit for better reasons).

      I dunno. And of course the idea that there even is kompromat isn’t substantiated. But if there is, and you accept the idea that Trump has NPD, then the answer is not whether the voters would care, but that he would.
