Assistant: If something is kind of obvious but also kind of surprising, you might hear something like "why are you not surprised?" or "why aren't they surprised?" like people saying "well of course Trump is kind of awful, but so many people are still supporting him?" Or if something is kind of strange but also kind of normal, you might hear "that's not so strange" or "that's not too surprising."
