selective obliviousness 

Having the mental capacity to understand something that's painfully obvious to anybody else and/or has overwhelming and undeniable evidence, but deliberately ignoring it for any number of reasons. Compare willful ignorance.

rock salt

What to load into a shotgun if you don't want to kill someone, but you still want it to hurt.

The president, living in a delusional state of paranoid denial, ordered his supporters to storm the capitol building with the intent of severely harming, if not killing, basically every senator and representative who didn't support him in a last ditch attempt at overturning the election.
