The first part of your sentence is true, but I reject the second. Compromise is essential to getting things done in any group venture. I’ve worked in a large aerospace engineering organization for almost four decades, with a third of that as a manager, and we have to make compromises to reach consensus all the time, but we don’t compromise on our values. For instance, on a program with tight funding or schedule, we might be willing to go with a riskier solution (with program concurrence), but not if that program is human rated or has safety concerns. We also don’t venture into areas that are unethical.

And besides, this isn’t Bobert compromising her values (if she, in fact, has any). Do you really think she honestly cares about the LGBTQ+ stuff? She only cares about it to the extent that it’s a MAGA boogie man. It’s a tool to whip up the base. It’s amazing anyone takes her family values schtick seriously given that her husband’s exposed himself to her and some other girls at a bowling alley when they were underage and he wasn’t, she went on to marry him, had a kid as a teenager, and that kid knocked up a girl as a teenager too, so now she’s a grandmother. “Values.”

So this isn’t some change in values; the Bobert that is rude to the people around her in a theater, pulling her boobs out, and groping a club owner is the real Bobert - the MAGA family values persona is just an act.

Is it a compromise if you don’t even really believe -thing- to begin with?

politicians are willing to compromise their values as well

98% of American voters compromise their values every two years by voting for political parties who, as a rule, vote against their constituencies.
