Why Are the Epstein Files the Straw that Broke the Camel’s Back?

While I don’t look a gift horse in the mouth, I have to say that this seems strange. Trump supporters didn’t twig on the idea that their hero was a sex offender when:
Epstein mysteriously died in prison?
Trump was adjudicated to be a rapist?
Maybe there’s something special about this moment, even though I can’t see it.
