Short answer...yes, they are. Human beings adapt and evolve. Long ago we talked on this board about "Bullshit" and the idea that people have to develop better bullshit detectors. I think this is happening combined with the fact that people can only take so much bullshit before they say "Hey, this is bullshit!"Some caught on faster than others but we've got a lot more people waking up to smell the bullshit all around them and they are quickly moving over to join us in saying "Hey, that's bullshit. Take that bullshit away. The last thing I need is bullshit right now."The last couple of decades have pretty much been the perfect storm of bullshit. I mean it has been near impossible for even rational human beings not to end up covered in it. Aside from the boom this caused in the dry cleaning business I think the other major positive we can take out of all this bullshit is a lot more people know bullshit when they see it...even if their sense of smell now is a little off.So, now when they are strolling along through life they know and are better prepared to step over or walk around a giant turd like Ann Coulter.
