Like everything emerging from the right or right-adjacent, the words are meaningless. They want things to go back to how they were. Men are in control, women and children know their place, and God agrees. The pinnacle of creation is the wealthy straight white Christian man, the further you are from this idea the less value you have.

What they say isn't really relevant to the goal, it's just whatever works in the moment.

"When I argue, I believe in the points I bring up and consider them essential to understanding the issue. I mean, of course I do. What other way is there?

"The conservative way."

"(R)easoning with a conservative is so frustrating (because) there are no good-faith arguments...none of it has any actual bearing on their beliefs. You can disprove every word they say, and it won’t matter."
