    You can tell their true beliefs by how they vote and the legislation they actually pass. It’s no conspiracy theory that it’s little more than lip service or virtue signaling when they give public statements about ‘X’ but never back it with actual legislation or if they do it’s legislation that is doomed from the start because they never had any intention of actually putting up a fight to move it forward. It all plays well in media headlines though and that’s all that matters to them.
