Back in the day it was... "Oh... They are not actually like that."

Or "What they actually meant was...."

Or "They are such a jokester"

For example, we saw that a lot out of boomers and silent gen folks leading up to Trump's first election. Quite a bit of dismissive language over behavior that should have caused him to be removed from candidacy.

Not to make it political... But that's just a quick example that came to mind.
