Is there any scholarly work delving into how permission structures remove shame conceptually? I've seen commentatora comment about Trump and the permissions for a range of actions of his rhetoric, but not a lot about the subtraction of shame. The subtraction of shame (?) points to societal problems?

Sadly, I think those days are gone. It's not just Trump - nobody seems to care about the outrageous things Mark Robinson and Royce White have said. Herschel Walker came within a few percentage points of winning. You can say pretty much anything you want if you're a Republican now.

100%. This is a direct result of the Republican party’s descent into authoritarianism — the leader can never be wrong — and of Citizens United. Lots of angry billionaires warping society to keep Trump and the GOP afloat.

I'm in El Paso. During Trump's term we had an anti-Latino mass shooting here that was absolutely connected to the kind of rhetoric Trump and his supporters were spewing about the border. This isn't about the reality of him making this happen. It's what people like that shooter takes away from it.

There needs to be more research on the death of conscience and shame in politics. Major scandals 20 years ago that would have ended careers are now just ignored as "another crazy statement" or "politics". We have become inured to the insanity.
