In an era where numerous political sex scandals are reported, they seem to lack impact, with many voters showing indifference towards the details and associations.
'We have lost our shame muscle in the United States,' says Dr. Alison Dagnes, highlighting how politicians no longer feel pressured to resign due to scandals.
The example of Donald Trump's scandal illustrates that voters, particularly his base, remain unaffected by such stories, indicating a shift in public perception towards political misconduct.
Politicians learn that a lack of apology neutralizes shame, making it harder for the public to hold them accountable for their actions or associations.
