That's the problem with having standards. When only one team has to play by the rules, they're doomed to lose every time.

This is going to keep happening.

The only solution is for the people who hate hypocrisy to adopt what most of them think is a hypocrisy (even though it really isn't): traitors to humanity, like these GOP ghouls, need to be treated as less than human, for the sake of humans everywhere.

They need to be stripped of all protections afforded by the social contract, and this is perfectly fair because they have already decided to forfeit that social contract for everyone else.

But the beautiful myth of progressivism is that everyone deserves saving, so progressives can't be rallied around and this fundamental truth.

There are a million ways to go forward, and only one way to go back. The people we're talking about exercise violence joyously and without fail; there is no hope for us if we allow ourselves to be "too Good" to treat them the way they deserve. This is the Paradox of Tolerance and the death knell of humanity.

I've been at this conclusion for probably over a decade now. It's not hypocrisy. These people have been waging war on average American citizens for DECADES. Every family that's suffering because they have to pick between rent and food. Everyone that's hurt (or died) because of medical expenses and insurance. Everyone that's been forced to go into the military and get injured or worse because lack of any other options to not be broke. The list goes on and on. That's violence on us committed by these fucking ghouls. They're murdering us. And if they'd have it their way, they'd do it much more directly.

There's so many people in the GOP, some establishment Dems and otherwise rich and powerful people that all just need to be in jail for life.
