But as he went on about how gravely offended he was, it dawned on me how utterly preposterous it is to hear a Trump supporter talking about being offended by something and demanding some sort of repercussions for the offenders. How, I asked him, could he vote for Trump after Trump said on tape that he grabs women by the vagina? So, he admitted that Trump has engaged in offensive actions, yet he clearly didn’t believe Trump should have faced any penalty for the actions ― and Trump didn’t, at least not from this caller, who nonetheless voted for Trump. Trump opened the floodgates on people saying whatever they want and offending as many people as possible without any ramifications. And Trump supporters, in excusing it all, have completely forfeited any right to be offended by anything now.
