A hard swallow:
"For them it's just too much to acknowledge sometimes, because they admire them and accepting they did what they did would mean no longer seeing them as the icon they did. So they take a hard swallow and refuse to accept the truth. It's too much for them to bear, their illusion and appreciation can't be shattered. It would hurt too much. It's easier to deny they did what they did. It's easier to swallow it must have been someone else's fault. It's easier to be misguided than it is to be true to oneself."
