but they feel that the media obsessed over Trump’s wan condemnation of white supremacy, ignoring more pressing national problems

Probably the same people who obsessed over a blue dress and claimed to be worried about what to tell their children about blow jobs.

A president's actions involving sex with an adult? Oh, no! Sex! Scandalous! Think of the children!

A president's actions involving the lack of actual condemnation of racism, the hugging of nazis, and the murder of a person by a racist? Meh. Don't be so melodramatic. No biggie. Think of the wall!


You can claim certain things bother you but if you vote to allow those things, you're a liar. You can tell yourself you don't agree with all the bad things happening but if you vote to continue the bad because a candidate/president makes you feel good - you're a liar.

You like the bad. You want the bad. You simply don't want to admit it to others. You're hoping to get something out of it even though bad things are happening to other people. You don't care.

You dismiss bad things because, golly, there are worse things happening - what you are really saying is that particular bad isn't happening to you (and you probably think the victims deserve it anyway), so why should you care - instead, you want everyone to focus on how you've been wronged and you don't really give a fuck about others.
