Now I’m curious about who you follow that were banned from Twitter and YouTube. I don’t know if any research has been done on this, but it wouldn’t surprise me to find that a normalization effect happens so that more exposure to certain modes of discourse change how you think about them. Our minds are not under our conscious control, even if we would prefer that they are. I suspect that our president’s mode of discourse has dramatically shifted what is seen as acceptable in a lot of people, for instance.

> I suspect that our president’s mode of discourse has dramatically shifted what is seen as acceptable Why isn't that a rational response? Many of Trump's actions were wrong. However, he got away with them, and acceptable and normal are about what you can get away with, not what's right.

  'normal' shifts with what people get away with, but 'acceptable' does not.
