The "they're a fact of life" rhetoric here is to imply there is nothing that can be done about the issue.

It's a thought terminating cliche). The purpose of stating they're "a fact of life" is to aim to quell dissonance about the issue.

That's the truth. I didn't need to constrain myself any. Maybe just for one day, resist pretending that these right-wing nutjobs say anything in good faith.
