We LOVE our Troops SO MUCH that we're Breaking their Arms and sending them to JAIL!
-LITERALLY Republicans!
Once you realize conservatives don't actually believe in anything, and everything they say is a performative virtue signal, the world starts to make a lot more sense.
I disagree. They do have beliefs. Those beliefs are their manufactured moral superiority, their honor culture, and the belief in hierarchy. Anything that aligns with placing themselves first at the head of the line and keeping anyone who doesn’t conform beneath them. Anything can be excused as long as keeps them in control, any rationalization made, anyone outside of those beliefs can be sacrificed as incidental damage.
Can't wait for them to say higher gas prices is actually a good thing!
