In 2003, it freaked me out when common Republicans toed the line regarding the torture matter, simultaneously saying torture isn't wrong, and waterboarding isn't torture. Some right-wing personalities volunteered to get waterboarded to show it wasn't so bad. When SERE indulged them they cracked inside a few minutes.
But yeah, half of the United States decided that torture was AOK. It was fucked up. It also shows some people only have integrity when it's about their own fam. When it's about outsiders, they'll endorse genocide if their lives are inconvenient.
MAGA is coming for liberals. Where a liberal is anyone who isn't MAGA.
Most people don't have integrity, period. It is not a value people hold. Rather, they believe it is better to be manipulative because they see that as powerful.
I think it only took a few seconds before the host cracked.
