Most voters who support Trump are in genuine denial that he’s a pedophile. It’s ridiculous, but it doesn’t change the fact that they also hate pedophilia - they’re just being conned into thinking queer people are the pedos (also very likely some of them are pedos/complicit, but I will risk the assumption that that is the minority and the conservatives I’ve met in real life actually aren’t pedophiles).
Also, have the standards of what’s acceptable changed or not? You said they have, then you implied they haven’t. Either way, I highly doubt everyone was just fine with that scene in 1986, especially given it was not recreated in any adaptation.
