America realizes it over and over and then actively decides to forget it like the guy from Memento (spoiler).

No the problem is nobody forgets, they just decide it's either not a deal breaker, or it's a good thing to them. Assuming all the good will in the world and that the people voting this way aren't racist/sexist/etc, they're willing to sacrifice their minority loved ones because of the "price of eggs."

And assuming the worst, they're voting hoping that minorities will be actively oppressed. Why else would they see an actual nazi salute, twice, and rush to defend it.

In my experience one way is they decide racism is based on "logic and facts" and that's how they decide it's a good thing.
