This reminds me of a conservation I was having with someone about an old movie villain... not an over-the-top super villain, but the rich, incestuous kind. The other person was talking about how so much more evil it is when the person is a relatable, realistic figure, and how people do absolutely nothing to stop that kind of evil in real life because it's not so apparent, but that maybe if people were more aware they would take the necessary action to bring them to justice

This is where I interjected and brought up how even in real life, when people are made aware of such villains, they make excuses and ignore it. I pointed to Hunter Biden, and linked to them the site that catalogs his videos and screenshots from his laptop where he's engaged in illegal activity, similar to the very movie villain we were discussing. Hilariously enough, the person (a Liberal), hand-waves Hunter's transgressions away, saying "I found an article on Snopes that says none of that is true." I told him to look at the link and see the photos/videos for himself and he said "I'm not looking at anything that might get the FBI after me. But I'll trust Snopes".

So you're 100% correct. Some people are so stupid and blind that even when it's obvious to see, they would rather stick their head in the sand rather than disrupt their blissfully ignorant worldview.
