I mean, I'm seeing people say that they'd vote for him even if it's all true, because liberals are worse.

So that's where we're at. The rightwing outrage machine has made of liberals such a black hole of evil that the target demographic would vote for a pedophile over one of "them."
That's what democrats said about republicans during Bill Clinton's campaign & presidency. I'm not saying it's a particularly good argument, but the only thing "new" about it is that the republicans are finally (and for the worse, IMHO) using the same voting logic as the democrats.

When I was a kid, people who did wrong were punished, restricted, and forbidden. Now, when someone does wrong, all of the rest of us are punished, restricted, and forbidden... and the one who did the wrong is counselled and "understood" and fed ice cream.
