(82,849 posts)Certainly a goodly segment of the general population has known for many years just how vile this vile human being is. What may have finally turned the worm is that even some of the vile human being's good friends in the popular media have been shocked by how vile he is. As long as that vile human being was "just an entertainer," everything was good: Everybody made money and nobody important got hurt. But a three-day long jihad against a young woman whose only sin was testifying about what she knew (and really, what everybody knows), finally got the scales to fall off of a few eyes.
Keep the pressure on.
