Oh yeah, that'll teach 'em, soon the whole house of cards will come crumbling down because of this observation
This right here. They don't care about hypocrisy.
Hypocrisy is them expressing their power over us. They are showing us that they can do whatever the fuck they want and that we can't. They revel in hypocrisy.
People need to fucking get it through their thick skulls that calling them out on their hypocrisy only makes them stronger because it helps show that they can get away with it and we can't. Their hypocrisy is the wrong thing to focus on because it brings their execution of their power into stark relief.
We have to make them look small, not continue to show the world that they keep getting away with it.
This. I swear to god the whole "dunk" culture the internet spawned has done a solid chunk of the damage to get us to the shitshow we have now
The Daily Show was a mistake.
But we need more Cross Fire!
I keep telling people.
Only one party cares about hypocrisy. And it ain't the fucking Republicans.
If they used the word, “Slammed” Trump would’ve resigned.
Honestly with how stupid the world is right now, this might actually make some of the more gullible idiots change their minds. Because they probably have a one track mind of "china = bad"
But even if it does, so what? A few of the idiots are temporarily pulled away from Trump, he's still in power and before long they'll go back. Meanwhile scoring a petty dunk like this on them that they then ignore anyway just emboldens the rest of the followers because of how cool it is that Trump and Co are just ignoring it, and they get to insist that all us snowflakes are triggered again because who cares about reality when you can just make it all up? It didn't accomplish anything last time and it will accomplish less this time
