Both need each other. And I don’t think the line is as clear as we’d like it to be. It’s a lot easier to be a true believer when you get something out of it, even if you would’ve believed regardless. And it’s rare someone is so bluntly sociopathic that they’ll hurt people for power without convincing themselves they’re doing what they believe in. The more power this gets them the more they believe in it. The other alternative would be to convince yourself if you don’t someone else will, and that’s more the never trump to defeatedly campaigning for him folks. So what does she believe in? What’s most convenient without being too far from what she’s recently believed?
Personally I think she’s a true believer about guns for sure, maybe about taxes on businesses, but everything else no. Maybe she’s uncomfortable with queer people but not more than she’s uncomfortable with not getting some fresh dick after her divorce. She’s unlikely to go full Anita Bryant, but she’s definitely willing to do a ton of harm
