    Actually, they are quite consistent; it’s just that one, they never say outright what it is, instead always talking around their ideas; because, two, we find it absolutely reprehensible (and they know it).

    But it is quite simple:

    Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

    -Wilhoit’s Law

    Look at it through that lens, and you’ll see that they have never shifted their position. Their whole lives revolve around making this law a reality, and making sure they are in the in-group.

    Because you think you’ll ’endure the pain’ and then get to ‘build a better system’.

    But better odds are you’ll just die early on, and the system you dream of will never come to pass. You have gambling brain. ‘We’ll totally win next time! Just got to start over one more time!’

    It’s just so stupid.

    It does for you. For the intended audience, it makes them cheer and jeer at the ‘stupid brown woman’ ‘finally getting her comeuppance’ for ‘daring to disrespect the flag by being an illegal’.

    They have no sympathy or empathy. They want to see PoC crying in chains as they are led off by white officers. To them, that means the system is working.
