Mr. Obama's judicious persona, which made rationalizing away his intelligence agencies' mass-surveillance programs easy, has now been replaced with the plainly vindictive and paranoid character of President Trump, who has inherited his predecessor's well-oiled security apparatus unencumbered by restraint, nuance or even a professed respect for civil liberties.

Potential presidents are measured against an ideal that's a combination of leading man, God, father, hero, pope, king..."

His character, David Ghantt — a real-life felon who took part in an ostentatious crime in the late 1990s — is rationalizing his own miscreant deeds for the audience of "Masterminds," a would-be memorable piece of popular culture that applies the TV-sketch-show-surreal-farce approach to a based-on-true-events caper picture.

In our near-schizophrenic consensus view of racial progress, this legacy of denial operates to celebrate the nation's preferred self-image as a clearinghouse of equal individual opportunity, open to all, while obsessively rationalizing away slavery, colonialism, and extermination as the singular, hermetically contained responsibility of the individual bad actors long ago who perpetrated these harms.

The Republican Party is now rationalizing and enabling Mr. Trump's autocratic, kleptocratic, dangerous and downright embarrassing behavior in hopes of salvaging key elements of its ideological agenda: cutting taxes for the wealthy (as part of possibly the worst tax bill in American history), hobbling the regulatory regime, gutting core government functions and repealing Obamacare without any reasonable plan to replace it.

Good American foreign policy is not made with alternative facts, but that is all they offer when it comes to rationalizing their approach to Iran -- as we heard Tuesday from Ambassador Haley, who tried to build a case against staying in the deal by citing violations that didn't happen, implying that there are hundreds of suspicious sites left uninspected when there aren't, and brushing off the security concerns of our allies.

All of the ingredients for the systematic abuses of power that the #MeToo movement has articulated are here: colleagues who make excuses for the harasser, company heads who look the other way, victims who are saddled with humiliation even as they feel anxious to be acknowledged by their higher-ups (along with the rationalizing they do to explain away bad behavior), the way whisper networks are formed, and the layers of protection and utter lack of consequences the harassers themselves receive.

Rationalizing Claire Boucher's progressive beliefs with Musk's peak late capitalism indulgences (which range from the harmlessly kooky—like launching a car into space—to the pretty dang malicious—like clamping down on Tesla workers who want to unionize, allowing unsafe cars to go to production because it's likely cheaper to do so, and being chummy with Donald Trump even though he was on record as not being a fan initially) proved to be a headfuck for outside observers, few of whom had any knowledge of what Musk and Boucher are like as actual people and instead resorted to memeing their public personas.
