If a completely voluntary political fuckup of mine lead to the deaths of dozens of children, I’d either be driven insane or off a ledge. Wonder how they’ll cope, or if they’d even need to.

Or if I’m a Texan, I’d reelect my child’s murderers.
Uvalde say what…
Texas is winning its war on children!
In my experience with people from the small religious towns near my city, they're shocking shockingly good at compartmentalizing pain and waving away responsibility with explanations such as "God's plan" or platitudes like "God never gives us more than we can carry."
'Round these parts of Texas, people will tell you that if you feel like you're carrying too heavy an emotional or spiritual load, it's because you haven't noticed that Jesus is carrying it with you. You just need to lean on God (aka beg from your community). But if an unhoused person should ever repeat something like this, they'll lash out for being godless and lazy.
Most of them will get past this just fine: their conscience is God's problem.
