Normal Americans with basic common sense understand things like this. They understand it's not fine to run up $20 trillion in debt. They understand it's not fine to make awful deals with evil regimes that allow them to build nuclear weapons. They understand it's not fine to report "news" stories that are not true. They understand it's not fine to destroy insurance markets and then use taxpayer money to bail out the insurers so you can pretend it's not happening.
They also understand it's not fine to run to the news media anonymously with information, which may not even be true, that you're not supposed to be sharing. And they understand it's not fine to run for political office promising to do something, only to not do it while pretending you tried when you really didn't.
