The reason they hated the idea of pedo dems is because of the implied heresy in imaginary blood drinking or whatever. The idea of them being atheists, pagans, or gay satanists or whatever. Screaming about pedos was just a marketing avenue and protective tactic because if you tried to defend people who were accused of pedophilia you ran the risk of just being pedojacketed yourself.
They're already starting to say "Epstein was based, actually" in some rightwing political spaces. Saying he understood power or masculinity or whatever.
They never actually cared about children or pedophiles. They just hate "the other". They're OK with children being married to adults in number of US states law-wise and rightwingers will defend that, as long as its "trad" or "christian" or whatever.
I mean it's like that meme when Lisa Simpsons goes "as usual, the playground has got the facts right but the point wrong entirely", because yes, there was in fact a secret cabal of billionaires doing demonic shit to children, but it wasn't Democrats, and wasn't strictly Republican either, it was capitalist oligarchs, whose allegiance is not to any party but themselves, and the fight is not against a political party but against a class of neo-nobility, meaning it is against the rich, who pay off public servants on every side. It's not about left and right, it's about the astronomically ultra-rich and poor. Kings and queens. Again.
That said, Republicans are way overrepresented in running the errands of that nobility and willfully and openly support their reign and actively seek to destroy democracy to achieve their goals, but still.
