Any dissent will be quashed. If this regime advocates child molestation, then every one of its followers also must advocate that. If you do not, you will be considered a danger to dear leader.
MAGA did not take kindly to Trump's post Wednesday, which included calling his followers' Epstein theories a "hoax," and claiming they're doing Democrats' bidding.
