Letting their masks drop

The article quoted said:

"Incredibly, nearly all of the MAGA movement’s embrace of the brothers has come after they were first accused of sex trafficking in 2022."

Unfortunately, that is not only not incredible, it is no more than what one might have expected.

I suspect the MAGA mind works like this:

(a) Our beloved President has been accused of a number of sexual offences.

(b) Such accusations are obviously based on wicked falsehoods created by communists who hate America.

(c) Therefore, if anybody else has been accused of a number of sexual offences, we can be sure that those accusations are based on wicked falsehoods created by communists who hate America.

You're giving MAGAtes too much credit here. They're morons.

MAGAtes are pieces of crap who don't think much. It has nothing to do with communism which none of these "F"s could define to save their pathetic lives and everything to do with lacking the basic morals and common sense that cause a person to condemn sex trafficking.

I agree with you, of course. 'Communism' is just a word for 'scary bad guys".

But it is not so much that these people don't think that sex trafficking is bad. It is just that when they hear an accusation of sex trafficking launched against anyone, the habit of denial they have formed to preserve the mental image of their beloved President as a falsely accused innocent is so strong, that they can't help assuming that an accusation of sex trafficking launched is, in itself, a proof that an innocent is being persecuted by bad people.
