Summary

This quote suggests that in contemporary society, a significant portion of political discourse serves the purpose of justifying actions or positions that are inherently unjustifiable. It implies that individuals in power often resort to manipulative language and rhetoric to mask or excuse their questionable actions, policies, or ideologies. This can be seen as an observation of the frequent dishonesty or obfuscation present in political discourse, with politicians and their supporters employing various tactics to defend their indefensible actions.

All your words are but to say: you are a woman, and your part is in the house.
