    Ok, so we are now at the performative ‘I have a family’ stage of our conservative politicians realizing they don’t actually have any meaningful, truthfully held values.

    Republicans sure talk about hating post modernism, but they’ve done so, so much to prove that empty signifiers are the entirety of their politics.

    Well, that and hurting people they don’t like.

    Maybe when they say ‘think of the children’ they really do just mean it as an entirely solipsistic thought exercise.
