To be honest, it's probably to be expected. Some, if not most of this, is SO corrupt, SO unlike anything we all thought was possible in this country, and SO far fetched sounding, that reasonable people have a hard time believing it. Even freepers who deep down have always known our government is corrupt.

A great deal of this is explained in KittenClaws' tagline: Normalcy Bias.

Normalcy Bias is an incredibly powerful force in human nature. And for many, the more intense and powerful the information being revealed is, the more powerful and intense the NB reaction is. When I think about people that I have known over the years, and myself, it seems that those of us that have been "red-pilled" in small doses over many, many years have an easier time accepting more doses (even powerful ones) as they come along.

I don't understand the term "normalcy bias".

Do you mind explaining exactly what it is in layman's terms please?

Bagster the layman.
