Sure, that's the first step.

But the next step was how society would change (or not), suddenly realizing that most people are simply not that virtuous. Certainly not as much as their previously perception-dominant "best face" made them seem to be.

Instead of accepting that, we seem to still be taking pot shots at leaders or prospective leaders for faults.

Or... maybe Trump's twice electability is an indicator that most people are willing to overlook things, now.

Why are you assuming there must be a ‘next step’?

The general population can just not care about a ‘next step’ on average…?

Typically when a core previous truth changes, society changes in response.

They are not overlooking things. They are looking at things and like what they see. There is segment population for which a credible accusation is seen as a good thing about a guy.
