I have a theory that protecting, or at the very least looking the other way from, pedophiles and sexual abusers is a sort of loyalty test bc it runs so deep in their movement

The key is that they don't think of rape and abuse as crimes against people (because they don't think of women and children as people).
They think they're property crimes, and since rich white men own all the property, they can do as they please.
vice signalling. plus, once these people verifiably admit to this shit, the motherfuckers at the top have leverage to keep them under control. it's the shit scientology did and it's the shit Diddy did and well
exactly. and what makes them so despicable is they could’ve just said no and left the party. the participation of the more moderate politicians gave the movement more legitimacy, but they couldn’t give up that sweet, sweet power
They cut out Gaetz though for some reason. Maybe they all just don't like him? At the same time it's not exactly a secret that they all just don't like each other.
Trump will throw ANYBODY under the bus to save himself. He was buddy buddy with Gaetz and did not care about the sex crimes up until it was about to start impacting Trump and making him look bad. Then its "he was just a coffee boy, I don't even know him"

I believe you've touched on something important. Loyalty test that runs deeply in their movement.....rings true to me FelVotives.
They think they're property crimes, and since rich white men own all the property, they can do as they please.
This is the reactionary, christofascist Handmaid’s tale mindset.
This is why such a test is in place, so they can use someone’s crimes or obstruction of crimes against them if the time comes to cut them loose.
If anything, Gaetz demonstrated there are limits to their ability to normalize pedos in govt.
Gaetz’ problem was that they hadn’t controlled what was already in the public record, unlike with Trump et al.
They are not exactly offering Tate a gov position either though
