Attempting to shame hypocrites is a pointless endeavor. They will only laugh at you while continuing to do what they do.
The only reasonable move is to interpret them as damage and route around them.
- mikeyouse 1y agoI don’t disagree but as far as I’m aware, they’re necessary for this whole democracy mess to work. The only reason Nixon was forced out of office is because his party finally had enough and couldn’t stand the shame (and certain electoral defeat) had he remained in office, so they loudly abandoned him and indicated they’d vote for his removal from office if they were given the choice.
- tastyface 1y agoThe party of Nixon isn't the Republican party of today. We've been getting a Nixon-level crisis every week with zero defections from Republican Congressmen. And I'm tired of Republicans shrieking about some minor or imagined Dem transgression, then doing something 100x worse when they're in power, and all the Democrats going HEY REMEMBER THAT TIME WHEN... IMAGINE IF BIDEN... Yes, they remember, they don't care, they feed off your reaction. Engaging is useless. The blunt instrument of power is the only thing they understand; ignore and route around.
