The root of “performative” is not “performance.” At least not in the modern sense of portrayal without sincerity or ultimate meaning. The word means to cause action or engender action, not “fake it ‘til you make it.”They won't care; they did it for performative reasons, to curry favor w/ Trump & troops. Still, people should know. None of these signers--including all top Republicans in the House, with the notable exception of Liz Cheney--have standing to call themselves conservatives.
