You generally won't feel shame about something that you don't believe is wrong, so that gives people mountains of leeway to rationalize whatever they want if they are willing to lie to themselves to get their end goals.
- sircastor 3y agoYes, but in the context of a politician (or another public figure) you have historically been obligated to accept the moral standard of the public at large (because you need their vote.) Even if you didn't believe something was wrong, you'd have to at least feign the appropriate remorse so that people would back you again.
- dfxm12 3y agoSo when a politician comes out against drag shows because she thinks they're too sexual for kids, and then gives out a handjob in a theater among a bunch of kids, or calls her political opponents groomers while staying silent about her own party's attempts to codify child marriage or block legislation that would make it harder, what does that say about her voters?
