Related, I tongue-in-cheek believe that something analogous to the actual SCP object for a "reality distortion field" may in fact exist. There is zero good explanation for "Teflon Don" or the North Carolina Lieutenant Governor getting away with all the stuff they do while Al Franken got politically crucified.
The least-magical answer for that is that some people have fundamentally different ways of approaching the world, and certain things will be tolerated by certain sets of supporters.
