Our values of truth, justice, equality, fairness, compassion, empathy, democracy, respect, faithfulness and human decency only apply if politically supported and viable.

I know that we've been told that those values are how we should conduct ourselves, but FUCK, there's money to be made!!!!

Racism, fascism, misogyny, hatred and white supremacy are ONLY BAD, if they cost you politically. They are "good" if 49.8% of voters in the right electoral combination validates them.

Remember what Jesus said; "love thy neighbor as thyself, unless it costs you young white male voters in Pennsylvania"

Heck, if you're not religious, forget Jesus and remember what the Constitution says; "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, unless it costs you young Hispanic voters in North Carolina and a 0.001% corporate profit drop establish this Constitution.

Morals, values and virtue are "fungible", right?
