With the advent of the internet, one can pick and choose copious examples to cast either political party as hypocrites. This is because political parties are formed of lots of people, and most of their leaders will not live by their claimed prinicples (because lying and signalling is a much easier path to winning elections than living by principles). I cannot emphasize enough how much both parties are corrupted by this. Both parties are beholden to corporate funding, and to the groupthink of their elite friends whose problems and concerns are not representative of Americans. And the Republican leadership will have secret affairs and secret abortions, while the Democratic leadership will send their children to private schools (or the public schools of exculsive enclaves), while the former preach about the sanctity of life and marriage, and the later preach about the importance of diversity and public education.
