I'll be honest, I know that the Epstein thing was/is supposed to be the unifying matter that Republicans and Democrats all agree on, but outside of online discourse, I haven't heard any MAGA discussion of the topic in weeks (or longer).
Maybe I'm just in an anomalous social circle, but from my perspective, it seems like there's a vocal minority of MAGA online who make a ruckus about this, when in person, they just don't give a crap.
So, I hate to think it, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter what excuse Republican leaders give or what story they weave. I'm guessing they could literally just release mountains of evidence and fully admit that Trump did it, intentionally, and he enjoyed it immensely, and his popularity with MAGA would probably only drop a couple of percentage points (and that's if it didn't actually go up for him "telling it like it is").
I am in a similar anomalous circle if so. Even the articles about how angry maga finally is with Trump about this or that are never supported by anything more than a single-digit number of social media posts. Nearly all of those sorts of articles so far that I've seen have ultimately just been the author interpreting tiny little ripples in the way that most supports what we (and probably they) want to hear.
I think this is done in earnest for the most part, because we all want to believe that a big chunk of maga voters somehow just haven't heard about what he's doing or what he's done. And yet, all the evidence I've seen points to they absolutely are aware and they either fully support it or still think there is some benefit yet to materialize that will make it all worthwhile.
