I'm past the point of calling this "projection" or whatever. I think most of these fuckers are actually consciously evil now. Like they are 100% self aware and internally honest about how they're just doing this Q crap to misdirect from their own perversions and strip sex Ed so they can get away with it easier.
I think it's more that reactionaries have an outsized belief in how good they personally are. Because they are so certain they're a good person, what they're doing can't be bad even when they'd demonize someone else for it. This belief is reinforced in all the classic stick-up-your-ass conservative institutions: they go to church so they're godly, they back the blue so they aren't some criminal, they put their head down and grind at work so they deserve whatever they can get their hands on. It's individualized exceptionalism.
Nah, I'm convinced when they're alone they literally cackle "Ha ha ha! I am doing this for power and treats! I know this is fucked up but don't care cuz I'm literally Lord Freeza!"
