Thanks SvennoJ.

I'll take that as a gesture of goodwill.  Here are a few of the key MAGA folks going after Trump for breaking his Epstein files promise:

It unfortunately shows that there a few folks here, like pi guy, who don't have any exposure to people who think differently than they do in their lives.  It's a shame because they would find, if they engaged with others, that the MAGA electoral alliance isn't a uniform cult. (to paraphrase pi guy: not 50% of the country is in on Trumpism just because they voted for him)

It's dishonest to suggest, as pi guy did, that the right is not self-assessing.  The evidence is pretty clear if you just look at how Congress has behaved during the last 20 years:

Republicans tolerate dissenting voices like Rand Paul, Chris Christie, and Mitt Romney.

Democrats, in contrast, have a track record recently of expelling those who don't pass the purity test: Tulsi Gabbard, RFK Jr, and John Fetterman (in-progress, admittedly).

I said two examples, I was talking about two scenarios, not two people who changed their mind. I specifically said two, because the Epstein situation is 1. 

Yes, Republicans are so tolerant of dissenting voices, like calling Democrats pedophiles, terrorists. 

They've never called people RINOs, like the way that Democrats talk about John Fetterman.
