Exactly.

A good person would explain their actions purely to clear up any misunderstanding. Not whatever this shit show is.

I think that's what gets me. The mark of a good man used to be the ability to take him for his word. Now it's all "yeah but what he really means!". It's like when people used to defend Kanye when he was at the start of his unhinged journey. People fall in love with the idea of these guys, and then are happy to do all the mental legwork they need to keep that mirage alive no matter what happens.

The mental gymnastics someone will go through to make a bad person appear good, but they won't make those same efforts when it comes to a good person.

I like the line in Glass Onion, "You'd lie for a lie, but you won't lie for the truth."
