Its more of a split. Most of them don't care, but a significant minority is losing their mind over the Epstein release refusal. This isn't even really because Trump's a Pedo though. Its because it's directly clashing with the Q-Anon prophecy shit. These people are loyal to an unhinged conspiracy theory before Trump.

If Trump married an 8 year old girl while in office, most of the crazier Q-Anon people who are currently freaking out about Epstein would be fine with that because its not about pedophilia or rape, that was just the window dressing. From their perspective its whether a demonic jewish cabal of child blood drinkers is going to finally be taken down. Trump is shattering their delusional hopes. The cognitive dissonance is the biggest issue.

I'm telling you now, it is not a significant minority. The same amount of people that will wake up from this will have always had a chance to wake up for one reason or another. Conspiratorial mindset is not philosophical, but personal; people do not escape based on any evidence. They escape because of personal changes like in their friend groups or careers, not because of news stories. Stop thinking of this as based on facts or ideology, but based on identity. Stop thinking facts will win a war of emotion.

Star democrats need to shift the narrative from “Donald Trump is a pedophile” to “who has had the evidence that Donald Trump is a pedophile and what did they use that leverage to make him do”

What leverage? What can Trump being revealed actually do to stop him? I'm telling you, it basically doesn't matter.
