It's usually the people wearing "kill your local pedophile" shirts/bumber-stickers that are the ones making hating pedophiles a little too much of their identity to degrees of suspicion. I'm not saying "all". But, there is definitely this self hatred or overly correcting defensive dynamic going on.
I think Trump attracts those same types of people. It's the ultimate defense of their own internal thoughts.
To be clear, I don't think all Trump supporters are rapists. But I am talking generally about the "cult" level supporters. But, it definitely attracts the people that would be if they had the power to get away with it. It's similar to why they defend billionaires. They see who they could/would be in their "daddy" and are living through the success that they cannot obtain.
This is mostly talking about the men within the maga cult. The woman are an entirely different but very much related part of patriarchal brain rot.
so when i lived in Utah, there was this "porn kills love" campaign. you could pretty easily tell everyone who wore a shirt for it was either a wife who was shaming their husband or a husband being shamed for watching pornography. the whole thing was pretty gross. it had the same flavor as the anti-CSA stuff the statesian republicans are doing now, too. "i'm wearing anti-porn shit so obviously i don't watch porn. just don't look at my web history" has the same flavor as "i wear anti-trafficing shit so obviously i have never trafficked children. just don't look in my basement"
