CMV: Rape allegations against Trump have no political impact due to his type of supporters

Recently Trump was accused by another woman (afaik, it's now up to 22) of assaulting her. No one seems to even consider the possibility that this will have any political impact despite the fact that a similar accusation could bring down a government in another country. I believe this is correct and that Trump could be accused of rape by another 22 women and not suffer politically. This is down to his supporters.

Imo, American voters come in 4 rough categories when it comes to Trump:

1. Democrats who despise him utterly and likely already suspect him of rape can't think any less of him.
2. Independents who aren't listening to the news and won't until a few weeks before the election (if that).
3. Moderate conservatives who hate Democrats and will vote along party lines despite being uncomfortable with Trump.
4. Trump fans who don't care if he has raped someone.

The only group who would strongly care about these accusations are the first and they wouldn't vote for trump anyway. The second would care but are unlikely to pay attention for a long time and may just ignore the accusations as details that don't directly affect them. The third group follows the party line regardless and has failed to limit trump.

The fourth is the most important group. At this point, no one who supports trump can really claim to care if he has or hasn't raped someone. Anyone who would seriously care about this wouldn't support him anyway or would have stopped years ago. This means that the bulk of Republican voters will back trump even if he was guilty of rape (or perhaps because of it) and the rest will follow for partisan reasons.

As a result of his voters extremism and lack of morality, he is effectively immune from the political consequences of these allegations and he could be accused by dozens of more women and still win in 2020.

This is the problem of your argument, the strawman you've built for yourself.

The main contention I've seen surrounding the issue from trump supporters, is the timing and vagueness of the claims are highly suspect; these 22 people coming forwards just as the reelection campaign is starting is very weird (Claims that were nowhere to be seen over the last 20 years), especially as due to the proposed claim of the incidences, there will never be any evidence for or against the problem.

I'd imagine that for most of these people, if any of these claims were proven slightly correct, they would stop supporting trump.
