    They don’t give a fuck about consistency outside of cruelty.

    Never forget that the cruelty is the point. All the backwards, hypocritical, batshit insane laws that the right pushes suddenly makes sense when you acknowledge that their only goal is to harm people.

    All the “protect the children!”, “…babies!”, “…egg cells” “…heritage!”, “…bathrooms!” etc bullshit only ever serves a single goal, which is to commit evil against groups of people they’ve chosen to hate.

      I don’t believe that’s entirely accurate. Like for enough people for it to be a problem yeah they’re just cruel. I think it is more accurate though to say that power and control are the point. Some people are willing to do that by creating fear and offering ‘solutions’. Imo he cruelty is a side effect of having to continually up the stakes
