      Nah this is 100% optics.

      These people are so deluded that they didn’t realize just how unpopular this shit is. Republicans have been coasting for decades by not saying the quiet bit out loud. They’ve deluded themselves into believing that the majority of their voters actually agree with their insane, horrifying beliefs and plans (or, at the very least, not openly.

      They have benefited so long by maintaining a level of plausible deniability that allows them to pretend that they don’t actually want this country to be a Christian theocratic fascist nation, they just want to lower your taxes and want smaller government. Really.

      It’s interesting to see that this where the line is… Or maybe it’s just that people finally started paying attention?
