I’m actually to the point where political hypocrisy on the part of Republicans is of a secondary concern to me, because calling politicians out on hypocrisy is what you do to actual political parties and politicians. The current Republican party is not a political party - to be that, it would have to demonstrate that it represented something other than hating liberals and ‘things liberals like’.

And it can’t do that, because that’s the only principle that its current core voters espouse. I don’t blame the Republican party per se for this ugly cult of hate, nor do I see any easy way out of this bind for them, but they’re the only ones who can realistically do something about it.
