Some of my friends are surprised by what they see in me as the placid acceptance of Trump. Trump is a horror but I think that Republicans have been offering up horror for decades so Trump seems less like an exception to me.
He's an outlier as a human but not as a Republican, I mean. So if I only say "holy mackerel" and not "shit-fuck son-of-a-bitch" it's not from a lack of indignation. It's from forty-plus years of habituation, desensitization and inurement.
