    No, they didn't. They truly don't give a fuck. This is like Ted Cruz calling out Wall Street over $GME. They're doing it to go tap into the "blue collar/populist" market and go viral, and you rubes are greasing the chains.

      Right wing people look to criticize liberals, so they frequently make correct criticism at least on the surface level. They are correct here that liberals are hypocrites. However, their solution is "kids in cages is actually good" which is what I think you're getting at.

        Yea, I think their main point in pointing out liberal hypocracy is "Democrats don't actually care about kids in cages so you don't need to either".

        Stuff like this is what initially drew my privileged ass to the right because they could point at examples of corporations being "woke" as totally performative and not be wrong

      Eh, idk. Reminds me of Homer's quote.

      "I understand. Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand."

      I think they can make these points and have them be salient points while still doing so in bad faith and generally being disingenuous assholes. The point stands regardless of who makes it.
