This is a good analogy, but I have something easier: the good old GOP standard of it not being a big deal until it directly affects them. Practically coded into their DNA. Sure raping kids is bad, but in lieu of a video of it actually happening, they can rationalize it away. Kind of like with gay people. They're all evil deviants who can't keep their hands to themselves until you learn your daughter is one. Suddenly they're people with rights, and you're in your gay daughter's wedding because why wouldn't you be? Forget about all those years of dehumanizing citizens because you don't like what they do in private. You're enlightened now.
