re: #409 thedopefishlives

I would also add “willfully ignorant”. Although ignorant isn’t even the right word - it isn’t that they didn’t know about how despicable Trump is; they just, well, willfully ignored his hateful rhetoric in the interest of voting for their pet social issue - abortion, guns, “good Christian morals”, etc.

Yes, I recall encountering the “He may be a flawed individual, but he is the means to a greater good” argument. An amazing rhetorical end-run coming from a group of people ready to condemn anybody who does not live up to their moral standards.
