Well yeah, this one is too politically hot for those folks to say that. But they'd definitely say it if it weren't.

Yeah, the constant being that they're always politically expedient. It's not some "strawman".

Yes, if things were different people would respond differently. Very astute.

Right, so it's not remotely a "strawman" but, like, something they're solely not doing because they're worried about social pressure.

At least in your asinine way, you're implicitly agreeing with that, which is great.

Sure it is. It's impeaching your silly suggestion that these people don't actually believe what they do. They do - they're just worried it's not politically expedient to say it.
