I don’t know if other people find this as chilling as I do, because it doesn’t seem all that alarming on the surface. But I think this is an extremely accurate and frightening diagnosis of why so many people seem so weirdly uninterested in saying anything about Trump’s incredibly major crimes.

They’ve mentally realized that he has no plans to change his behavior, and it’s hard to take seriously the idea that anyone will hold him to account. So why bother saying anything against him? What difference would it make?

The more you think about it, the worse it gets.
