      People need to stop getting hung up on the right being hypocritical. Their electorate doesn’t care and neither do they. Every argument is in bad faith and it works so why would they stop?

        Their electorate doesn’t care but there’s that small percentage of actual independent voters who might and regardless you need to keep pointing it out because the public in general has the memory and critical thinking skills of a RFK Jr.

          Sure but it’s just preaching to the choir. People’s short attention span, lack of critical thinking, and siloed media consumption means they are unlikely to see the call out.

          They will see the 10 second sound bites of someone “owning the libs” or whatever and then keep scrolling.

            Here on lemmy? Yeah, definitely. In real life where I used to drink with a bunch of old retired coots, this was a weekly thing. I got a handful of them to change a bit over many, many beers.
