The list of astounding and gross things the have happened that nonetheless, somehow, leave a bunch of people going "I dunno, seems OK" or "eh, it's not a big deal" is growing longer every day, and it's really starting to have not just negative, but downright nasty effects on my feelings about those same people. I guarantee a bunch will shrug this off, too. Hell it's not even the clearest evil action this week.

There was a real line drawn, I think, with the pair of unambiguous nazi salutes on national TV. There's not much room left for even absurdly-generous plausible deniability. Folks still nodding along or going "gee, I dunno" about that are making a choice with eyes wide open. At least I don't have to second-guess how I feel about them now.
