I think it was a comment I saw on Imgur that explained hypocrisy is a power play for these people. It’s a statement that they hold power and the rules don’t apply to them. In short, it’s a troll and you cannot affect change by pointing out hypocrisy because power is the only thing they respect. It limits effective ways to deal people like this.
I dont get why anyone even tries to hold these lazy lying narcissistic cowardly bigots to any standard? Right wingers have no standards. They'll lie to you as much as they lie to themselves. They'll say anything and everything and only get mad if you hold them accountable. Thats why they ELECTED a fucking self admitted pedophile. Why bother with logic? Or morals or anything with them?
Because the god damn idiot corporate media keeps accepting their damn lies as legitimate concern under Democratic admins. And literally 60% of the nation is dumb enough to buy it.

Well, the gauching part is at least right.

John Kennedy (...not that one...) is supposed to be a well educated man. He definitely comes off as a stupid hay seed.

That about-face at 1:45 is actual goddamn cowardice.

If Republicans didn't have double standards, they would have no standards at all.

Christ, what a bunch of Republicans.

If they got a solid right hook to the jaw whenever they deflected like that, maybe they would answer a question.

No they wouldn’t. All they’d do is whine about having to face consequences for their bullshit.

I wish everyone who waffled this hard would get executed. Completely lacking morals and integrity

As a Missouri, I'm ashamed that my legislators only response to confrontation is to run away.

The hypocrisy is a feature, not a bug.

That anyone takes what a republican says as genuine, or any politician, but especially Republican, is insane.
They should blast “Private Dancer” anytime they give a lie to a question.

It limits the non-violent ways to effectively deal with these people, certainly.

Ostracization can be an effective tool, though not to change the problem individual but rather to prevent the individual from causing harm to others.

Always remember that if a Conservative’s lips are moving, they’re lying.
Every time.
Full stop.

Same as with cops.

This comment got me to try and think of a non-conservative cop. I don't think my imagination is good enough.

Who needs standards when your voters are one step away from even being classed as sentient.
