I'd hope at some point the contradiction between the shock jock crassness and church lady "think of the children!" prudishness would cause some tension on the right, but they've done an amazing job of resolving it so far

Yeah, it doesn’t feel tenable but they’ve made it work as the contradiction enlarges every single year of our lives

Of course it doesn't, because their supposed concern about human trafficking stems from the fear that brown people are doing it to white people, and satanic queers are doing it to good Christian folk It always reduces to hierarchy

They just want to hurt the people opposed to them doing whatever the hell they want. The hypocrisy isn't an issue when every issue they use is a means, not an end.

The contradiction makes more sense if you look at child abuse manuals like How To Train Up A Child, they’re only upset that the outer world disturbs the bubble of iron fisted mind control they maintain at home.

The contradictions make them double down because at that point it is a matter of faith, and they must defend their faith at all costs

At some point they completely internalized themselves as the strong pro-military moral people so no act of craven treason or disgusting lack of morals is relevant in the war against the bad people. A simple extension of Calvinist unconditional election.

everyone knows "think of the children!" is just the card in your Debate: The Gathering deck you use to counter liberal proposals. they clearly don't give a shit about the wellbeing of other people's children.
