General Discussion

Most of us aren't desensitized to it, most of us are continually outraged, not only at Donnie, but at his supporters and at the media that normalizes it.

The idea that one lie is a maybe norm shattering but then if he does it again and again it becomes oh well, ... well, no. Not at all. If a serial killer kills again and again we don't just shrug, we get more and more outraged and look forward to his capture.

Claiming we become desensitized only serves to normalize it.


That's as bad as the point of the article, that it's not a scandal if you're shameless, in the first place.
