Edit: I'm not pro Trump or trying to defend the fuckery. I'm just sick of Trump headlines every day. But pls, do continue the down votes.

My irl interactions make it seem like they're not even aware of what's been happening

Plenty of videos around, default rethoric is to 'give them time, they said it would hurt at first' which sounds awfully close what people in abusive relationships would say now that I think about it.
