It's fascism when they do it, it's Freedom™ when we do it -GQP assclowns

Barely over a year old...is that even aging yet? I have a beer in my fridge that has aged more than that comment

If God was real, all Republicans would be burning in hell. It's a shame he is not tbh.
DeadWhiteMale
Back in 2024 Noem said Democrats try to take away "our Freedoms". It was a lie then. Democrats fight to preserve and expand freedom. It was Republicans then and Republicans now that are removing rights of Americans one at a time.

If Joe Biden does it, it's bad. Because he's bad. He's blue. I'm red. But Trump's red. So he's good. So it's good. /s

A lack of caring about hypocrisy is a superpower.

Something about accusations.. confessions.. you know the drill..

Remember, the reason these people are constantly going around accusing LGBT and "liberal commies" of trying to take over government, media education systems in order to insidiously spread their woke ideology is because that's exactly what they would do in those positions of power and cannot fathom the rest of us not thinking the same way they do.
LittleAzie
Well, maybe some of the LGBT should try taking over our government. It would be nice to have a government that is open, supportive, and allows people to be who they are, unless they are hateful SoBs :P

*Le Gasp* how dare you say such a thing you, Godless heathen! Think of the children!!

GrandmasterSpank
Thing is, when Democrats MIGHT be doing something, the GOP just has to scream and yell and then Dems stop. The Dems police themselves. When the GOP is going something and the Dems say something, the GOP just does it anyway. And they get things done. Biden did 5% of what he promised during his 2020 campaign. Witht he latest bill, Trump is already at 80%. In his first 6 months.....

Every accusation was a confession.
quade
Accuse the others of that which you intend to do.
historymemesandstuff
It's casue they already see you as the enemy. Thus them calling in the national guard against you is good and you calling the national guard against them is bad. It's not about what the action is It's about which side is winning

Speaking of things that didn't age well, have you seen her face lately?

For the GOP to give a damn about being proven hypocrites, that would require them to be held accountable for their hypocrisy...

Hypocrisy isn't a byproduct of fascism, it's a feature.
zjh062025127001
It's fascism when one side does it, it's tyranny when the other side does it.

"Democrats are bad because I accused them of doing the evil thing I want to do. I am good because I did the evil thing I wanted to do because I accused Democrats of being bad." Is a logical circle jerk that Fox "news" viewers eat up like something that fell out of Trump's diaper.
monkofblame365
We all have so much invested into this way of thinking that we can't do anything but argue about evey single point. Its a feedback loop of bullshit in bullshit out. Imagine what the game would look like if enough of us stopped playing
srsfaceI8C
Straight out of Goebbel's playbook. Literally.
nation543
Literally a page from Goebbels. Accuse the enemy of that which you're guilty.

Meanwhile, the attack on their religious freedoms and freedom of speech is just not being able to call queer people slurs anymore.
Luxwbmr
Ohhh they love attacking other peoples religious freedom too.
All they want is everything for themselves and nothing for the rest. They are narcissists, living in a narcissistic country, elected by narcissists and paid for by narcissists.
encrypteddecryption
Some, not all of them, see us (if a lowly independent ally may enter the circle)... well, really anyone not one of them... as the enemy. It's only illogical doublethink if you see your opposition as humans worthy of dignity and respect. It's propaganda driven tribalism.
AimingForAdorkable
Something something psychology—
Narcissistic projection.
Accusations are just confessions from narcissists.
It’s wild how true this holds. In microcosms and larger.
It’s like, some sort of weird psyche rule? I can’t fathom it, because to me it seems illogical. Like, if I could do such evil (and I cannot. But hypothetically if I did) I’d be like, “Why would I literally accuse someone else word for word of the bad thing I’m doing? This would make me get caught more.”
But. Narcissists. Do…?
Hayashima
Because they expect everyone to think like them, to scheme like them, to be out only for themselves like them.
It is the ultimate form of narcissism - to be incapable of imagining a world with people different from yourself.
AimingForAdorkable
Omg. This. This. Yep.
I’ve never heard it phrased so eloquently.
Saved to the memory bank (hopefully, come on memory bank.)

If hypocrisy was illegal, the entire republican party would be serving multiple life sentences...
TI99Kitty
No, they wouldn't. Their leader has been convicted of 34 counts of felony fraud, and fuck-all has been done to punish him. They'd just get a slap on the wrist, if there were *any* consequences at all.
zanaria
Obviously I am talking about if things were actually sane and crimes were actually punished equally...
TI99Kitty
Yeah, I mean, I upvoted you, but just wanted to point out, up there, that we're in the *bad* timeline. :/

Come on, who the fuck is on the fence after 8 years of this bullshit??
Skywatcher16
you, along with just about every sane person, would be shocked.

I gotta say this a lot on Imgur. Lots of people don't see even 1% of the things everyone on here does. They avoid news, don't look at imgur, occasionally, someone on their facebook shares a meme about how democrats are bad. I have to actively tell my parents and all my siblings, except for one, about latest bullshit trump did, because otherwise, they'd never hear about it.
Ronelyn
They. Don't. Care. They want to do things, so they do them. That's their M.O. They have no moral underpinning for their actions beyond "I wanna."
smellsmiketeenspirit
Yeah, and too many people on this site upvote posts that basically are "we owned the GOP, maga !". It doesn't do shit.
BadgerSnax
People assume politicians are driven by guiding principals, and, if ever, they just aren't anymore.

People are more complicated than this as individuals. These are modes of operation, and they do sometimes switch which one they use in different social contexts. However, the brand of religion that's common among many of them is particularly good at encouraging mental compartmentalization and ignoring the contradictions.
Larktonguesinadicecup
Right. Pointing out hypocrisy is a fundamental misunderstanding of what's going on. It's like telling the serial killer, as he raises the knife, "hey it's not right to kill people". You're not wrong, but he's not listening, and he's not going to stop.
Larktonguesinadicecup
Then, after you burst from your bonds and wrestle the knife away, stabbing him in the process, he will be *angry*. He will not say "well you know it's only fair, I was going to do it to you so". He wanted to be the only one doing the stabbing, to have complete control.
Larktonguesinadicecup
And after you kill him, his fans and supporters will point out that what you did was wrong, that killing is wrong. You are just as bad, or worse, for fighting back. They won't completely say they support his killing, but they will equivocate about it, minimize it, or be silent when he does it, yet speak up vociferously against you for retaliating
SuspiciousCactus
This is a very very good analogy.
JustinArnold
All the while, shouting about how they would never be killed by a killer, because they have guns to defend against it.
FauxFoxPaw
Is that the puppy murderer?
JasonM1
yes
EndorForestSummerCamp83
Now she’s more well known as the head of Trump’s Gestapo, but yes she also killed a puppy because training it was too difficult for her.
Selfawerewolf
Won't be long before that logic moves on to "she killed people because detaining them was too difficult for her." I suspect.
TI99Kitty
And she killed a goat because... well, it acted like a goat.
Skywatcher16
yep. now head of the american gestapo
sjleegketting
Gestapo was pretty bent on keeping things a secret. GeStaPo is an abbreviation that translates to secret state police. Ice doesn't care about secrecy. Therefore ICE is worse.
Margrave9000
An astute observation which also means that Noem is a worse person than Himmler himself, as her agency has surpassed Himmler's in evilness. And since tRump now has worse people than *dolf, this makes him a more evil leader. Chilling.
Snekfast
Yeah I would compare them more to Rohm's SA. Part of the point is to instill fear by being so public about it
