    I know that it is genuinely confusing when a politician or leader who has been problematic for decades then speaks out on something important. But we can't simultaneously blast conservatives for their silence, then blast them again when they forcefully speak out.

        When they do something, instead of just talking out of both sides of their mouths, I might believe them more. Otherwise, they are playin political games

        It’s because actions speak louder than words and that’s all they are, talking heads. They say it’s appalling to scrub their conscious and have no real desire to actually DO something

        I agree, if you are referring to conservatives like Laura Bush and Steve Schmidt, for example. In terms of conservatives currently in public office, unless they back their speech with action, it’s all talk and no action.

        If they’re not actually doing anything to change the current situation, they might as well offer their thoughts and prayers.

        I've been supporting them. I think we should take all the help we can get. And I think it takes a lot of courage for a politician or other government figure to go against his/her party. I assume you're talking about someone specifically and not just in general?

        Good on Laura Bush. Remember she also supported Planned Parenthood but it didn’t stop her husband’s agenda either.

        England still blasts America for being late to come to the right decision, why can’t we do it with our own politicians?
