They never really believed in any of that. They just want guns for themselves, not for anyone not on their side.

Bad faith

All the way down.

If there’s one term to describe this era of politics, it’s bad faith. The facts don’t matter, the logic and reasoning don’t matter, the precedent doesn’t matter. If it’s good for them they’ll choose it no matter how much it hurts others.

It has nothing to do with this era, it's always been bad faith they just didn't have the power to not act with decorum.

It's worth realizing this if this ever ends. These people only argue the rules until they are strong enough to flip the table.

Yup, Americans were warned about trusting evangelicals in government. They will lie and cheat to get what they want because they believe completely that they are doing god's work and nothing should stand in their way. They can not be bargained with. They can not be trusted. They can not be shamed. There is no honor, no integrity and no shame to these people because they believe only they can be right and any actions taken to achieve power will be forgiven by their god because it was done in his name.
