3. Willful Ignorance is Another Appropriate Phrase.

I had the pleasure of interacting with a person on Nextdoor who excused everything our MAGA Congressman (Pete Stauber - MN8) has been doing on behalf of Trump because he was supposedly a "good Christian". I pointed out that he said nothing when two people were executed in our state by ICE, when he voted to throw millions off people off of the ACA, when he tried to blackmail the state into turning over voter rolls, and when he stood silent throughout this entire Epstein debacle.

This person said I was wasting my time because she would not read anything critical of this "good Christian". My reply was that Willful Blindness is neither morally or legally defensible (polite way of saying ignorance).
