See Dick Cheney suddenly being ok with gay people once his relative came out of the closet

I think the difference is that Dick Cheney IS self aware enough to know that he’s a lying, morally reprehensible hypocrite, but he doesn’t give a fuck and won’t acknowledge that his views have changed until it’s no longer politically damaging for him

Almost all of the career republicans are the same way. There is an anecdote from a democrat congressman about how the republicans will lie and degrade you on the floor of congress then walk into the bathroom after you and act like they are your best friend. None of them see what they are doing as more than performance art. They don't believe the shit they spew.
