The better question is why do so many people intentionally turn a blind eye to the evil? Cowardice? You appear very well versed on religion,what is the biblical position on people who intentionally ignore evil acts and support the perpetrators both verbally and in voting?

@jakuboj : Why? Apathy, hopelessness, helplessness, ignorance, often the media distorts information.
"people who intentionally"? Can't be committed Christians if they ignore injustice. Jesus' criticism was mainly against the Jewish rulers, and he disappointed the people by not overthrowing the Roman oppressors. None of the Apostles advocated overthrowing government, rather they focused on changing hearts, and encouraged those who were suffering for their faith to be strong in the Lord. I have said before that if everyone was a Christian, would we have the issues we face today? With what or who would you replace any government? If it is led by godless people, eventually it would devolve into chaos, or do you have an example of secular government that has succeeded?
The Apostle Paul tells us in Ephesians 6: "Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."
People are not born evil, although we are born with a sinful nature and opposed to God, we choose to let "evil" influence and direct our actions. Paul correctly identifies the source of evil in men: the devil. He does this through temptation, accusation and deceit.
Paul also tell us in Romans 13: 1-5 that we are to obey those in authority over us because they have been placed there by God. Verse 4 however contains a caveat that reads, "For he is God’s servant to do you good." What happens if he does not do us good? Then we can protest, but not violently unless the authority uses violence on us.
Paul also tells us in 1 Timothy 2:1-2 "I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone–2 for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness."
Martyn Lloyd Jones, a respected theologian, says, "yes we are to pray for them. And what are we to pray? Pray for their salvation". I have a list of leaders in Canadian government who I pray for several times a week asking the Lord to send a messenger, to open the eyes of the unbelievers and fan into flame a love and faith in Jesus Christ. I also pray for President Trump, his family, cabinet and all who support him politically. I don't worship him, just know that what he represents is better than the alternative. True peace will only happen when Jesus returns.
"But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God– having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them. (2 Timothy 3:1-5) We are definitely in the "last days".

@jakuboj proverbs 24:11 - 12
Rescue those being led away to death;
hold back those staggering toward slaughter.
12 If you say, “But we knew nothing about this,”
does not he who weighs the heart perceive it?
Does not he who guards your life know it?
Will he not repay each person according to what he has done?
