It's not moral blindness, it's willful blindness, of the worst sort. It's been my observation that the people most inclined to ignore the lying, cheating, stealing, cruelty, divisiveness, and all the other negative traits TFG routinely exhibits are also the people who have the most fear that if he's not elected, they will somehow be harmed. TFG wasn't in office for "all people." He was in office to serve "my people," which mostly consisted of his children and his cadre of sycophants. And when the sycophants didn't serve him well enough or with sufficient fervor in attacking and punishing his imagined enemies, they were tossed away like last night's table scraps.
I'm personally exhausted by what has transpired in these 7, going on 8, years and I want his access to the public media ended. He's dangerous -- to the nation, to the world, and to democracy itself.
Himself was in office to serve and enrich only himself. He didnтАЩt serve his followers except to further the Christian extremistтАЩs lust for power by riding on his coattails. And of course the tax gifts to the corpies and the very wealthy. These entities were loyal because they benefited. For the others loyalty was a requirement to be part of his non plan. IтАЩve always thought Himself found friends in the FBI or CIA to find dirt on any follower in Congress who might think of straying or blowing.
Moral blindness.
Refusal to see what's staring us all in the face.
Yet good people are sometimes blind to forms of evil from which they themselves are free.
And not just evil. It seems that Queen Victoria, being so besotted with her Albert, was quite unable to imagine female homosexuality.
Maybe it's as well not to have too much insight into minds corrupted by the likes of Roy Cohn.

"Willful blindness". That's the adjective.
