In certain circles, the story is set that Trump put a gang rapist on the supreme court and Republicans ignored nit just one sex assault victim, but all sex assault victims because one of them stood in his way. That’s their truth now, and it’s also incorporating the Clarence Thomas claims from long ago to build a narrative that if you support Republicans, you not only accept rapists in your midst, you promote them. It’s not long before they will take as gospel the ‘fact’ that any vote for any republican is evidence of someone either being a rapist or an apologist for one.
The people who believe this are small in number, but some of them have very outsized voices because they live in the insular echo chambers of journalism, education, HR departments of large corporations, and entertainment. They’ll do everything they can to propogate their version of truth to the young and the malleable.
Just like a real nuclear halflife, their presence and effect may diminish over time, maybe diminsh a lot in the near term as the next Trump-inspired outrage is ginned up, but it will never really disappear.
