    The GOP leadership consists of extremely manipulative sociopaths; they will say literally anything to benefit themselves or hurt others. They will weaponize anything with no shame and no hesitation. Everything they do is in bad faith.

    Equality? They understand it but don’t want it. Equality and fairness is the opposite of what they aspire to. They view themselves as better and therefore rules should benefit them and hurt others, to paraphrase the well known quote.

      “The GOP leadership consists of extremely manipulative sociopaths”

      A-fucking-men.

      Understand this and you understand everything the GOP leadership says. It’s never good faith, ever.

      They are not fools. They are evil. We will be fools if we do not internalize that reality.
