The term you are looking for is "socially normalized" as inYour two sentences indicate you agree with the professor's thesis. People do not care about the morality of the candidate, no matter how bad they are.
The line is actuallyDispassion<--------------------------------------->Altruism
Where on the line would you place a person's moral equilibrium? A nation's?
Ask Qatar. The day after Trump was elected, they kicked Hamas out of their luxury hotel and Trump was not even president yet.I doubt Hamas is trembling in fear. What can trump do to them that Israel hasn't already done?

Better still, ask Iran. Trump will probably go after Hamas' puppetmasters if the US hostages are not released.
Is trump going to step down? Oh, I get it, you're saying trump will be a strong president.Iran has a history of returning hostages when strong presidents take office you know
"Sanewashing" is the word.The term you are looking for is "socially normalized" as in
"Another of those terrible _[fill in the blank]_ ain't it? Honey, when does "Blooper Highlights from Survivors of Dancing with the Stars of the NASCAR-WWF Monster Truck and Tractor Pull Mud Wrestling Wet Tee Shirt Contest" come on?"
Let me make this clear: I voted for Harris and do not blame Biden for the rise of prices. My point is about lack of communication skills on the issue. The average Joe and Joanna doesn't understand economics or how the U.S economy operates. It is the job of the Biden Administration to communicate with the average Joe and Joanna and put them at ease with the situation.Biden did address affordability, he brought inflation down to a little over 2%. trump voters apparently believe there would have been no inflation if he had been reelected in 2020.
Of course the price of goods went up. We had/have a labor shortage, one we overcame by increasing wages. When your local McDonalds employee pay goes from $8 to $15 the price
of a big mac is gonna go up. I think the American people made a mistake, I hope I'm wrong.
Only if you aren't literate and have to make up words."Sanewashing" is the word.

Disagree with what?
You think Trump has great moral character?
The professor correctly points out that morality is irrelevant in a presidential candidate.
Over Harris or Biden no doubt.I know, what country wouldn't be proud to be led by a convicted felon, serial adulterer, liar and traitor?
Another advocate for hypocrisy and criminality comes out of the closet. Libs are two faced hypocrites who cannot be trusted, and thats why they keep losing.Biden crime family. So dumb. A registration charge and tax cheating. Not exactly the crimes of the century. Trump? The crime of the last two centuries.
It's because of retribution that Hunter got pardoned. If Harris had won, Hunter would not have been pardoned. If Biden had any balls, he'd pardon every single person on Patel's list.
MAGA aren't very bright. Telegraphing your evil intentions never works out well.

Funny stuff. When lacking a response, play the lib card. Not a lib. I don't care about "libs." Don't know any. I used to have a neighbor who had his comics published in a liberal underground free paper. That's the closest I've been to a lib.
A registration charge and tax cheating are not the crimes of the century. Attacking the Capitol is. Trying to overturn an election is. That's just the reality of the situation. My views are conservative - law & order views. Oath to the Constitution views. Your views are radical. Conspiratorial. Your views remind me of the Chicago 7. Radical and conspiratorial. Leftist views. You sir are the liberal.
Alrighty then. Anything else? How's the crime in your area? Officer involved shootings are happening far too often around here.

Whatever you need to lie to yourself about is not my concern. Whether you sleep at night is not my concern.The 1/6 riot was a riot. Nothing more.
The denial required to come to this conclusion is epic. Trump demanding VP Pence violate his oath are public knowledge. The fake elector scheme is public record.The idea that it was a serious attempt at a coup, is dumb.

Whatever you need to lie to yourself about is just wonderful by me. Don't care. If your liberal mind can't dissect truth from lie, then I don't know what to tell you.
So, how's crime in your area?
Salvation Army red kettle stolen in Carson City
It happened just after 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday night outside the Walmart on US-395 near Topsy Lane.www.kolotv.com
That kinda crap ticks me off. I'm not a believer but I am a law and order guy. And I just hate thieves. Especially those who steal from the needy.
It was insurrection, by definition.The 1/6 riot was a riot. Nothing more.
Was it a poorly executed? Absolutely. Was it a coup attempt? I don't think so, not directly anyway. Trump orchestrated this event to happen at our capitol on that day, specifically. What did he hope to accomplish? Chaos and possibly an opening for him. I think he expected to DELAY the proceedings, because DELAY si Step 2 in his usual method. A DEALY combined with all the uncertainty and distrust he sowed and the fake elector scheme was all a hail mary pass in his hopes to maintain power.The idea that it was a serious attempt at a coup, is dumb.
Was it?The elector scheme is completely seperate from teh riot.
Uh huh.When people try to conflate unconnected issues, that is them trying to hide how weak their position is.
teh shit was violent and illegalThe elector scheme is completely seperate from teh riot.

Depends on whose definition is used. Days after whatever happened, before we learned the militia groups came armed and stashed weapons around the city, we grabbled with how to define what happened.It was insurrection, by definition.

Now that he will have it again, we are in for a rough few years. The cult believes his bullshit, but I wonder for how long? This time there will be no rational excuses for the coming failures. The trumper chaos we are seeing already is only a glimpse of what is to come. I can’t believe Americans were so stupid - again.
You think so. Not everyone shares that view.Clearly.
You mean the Jan 6th insurrection. Yes, political riots are quite rare. It should not be a source of pride that there was only ONE though. Especially not at our capitol. That is a stain on our history.The republicans had ONE riot this generation.
That's funny. "Be there. Will be wild."There was no way that Trump could predict that the riot would happen.
Bullshit.Especially as it seems to have been sparked by the dem controlled capitol police, when they fired (none lethal) on the peaceful protestors.
See above.Any claim by any lefty that the riot was part of a planned insurrection, is stupid.

He arranged for his angry supporters to be there, told them that if they didn't "fight like hell" they would not have a country anymore.
He used the word "fight" 20 or so times. But he did say "peacefully" once.
His cronies also said fight during this same 'rally'.
Crazy Rudy yelled "trial by combat!".
Many of the criminals testified that they were there because Trump called them to be there.
Of course this was all orchestrated.
Given the above, how hard was it to predict the violence.
Your assertion is absurd. Trump clearly wanted it to happen. He arranged for it to happen.
He got his wish.
Bullshit.
