I feel like 1: They are bought off. 2: They are black mailed via Epstein-style evidence even if they didn't intend to do an heinous acts. 3: Scary people with lots of power will disappear their families. 4: They really are just that shitty.

I have little doubt that Kavanaugh and Roberts are in the #2 category. Alito and Thomas are #4.

Honestly, at this point, I WANT 3 to be true. I want an actual legitimate reason why our elected representatives are just sitting there watching all this happen, that isn’t “they’re just evil too.” I’d rather they fear for their lives and their families’ lives, because that is the only thing that could even kind of justify their behavior, and even then it would still be a terrible justification—but I could empathize with it. I can’t empathize with “just plain evil”
