If you hear or see something enough times, no matter how repulsive & obviously dangerous & bad for you, you can become conditioned to accept it. Even glamorize it in your mind...

Some people are working awfully hard to redefine bigotry, racism, misogyny, and cruelty as “Christian values.” Funny how Christians never seem to claim they’re being persecuted for feeding the poor, welcoming the stranger, or loving their neighbors.
