People need to realize that showing Republican hypocrisy doesn't work. Their voters don't see it as a flaw, they see it as shrewd strategy.

Liberals see news like this and think "we got him, we showed he's not trustworthy"

Republicans see it and think "attacking democrats for doing something and then doing it himself? what a clever boy!"

    Yeah, honestly mocking them works better then pointing out hypocrisy

    Don't say "fact over feelings, look at these facts". Instead, say "ok, if you can put away your delicate fee-fees for just a minute, let's look at reality"

    They'll whine "no, I am the one who is facts over feelings!" And then you treat them like a small child. You patronize the fuck out of them, and drop the facts as a follow up.

    That's how they win, they project and preempt, so when they say "The left wants to kill us all" you can't say "look, they're literally building camps! All domestic shooters are conservative!". Half the country does not listen to the words, they've vibes based

    You've got to control the flow of the conversation, so that you get to make the accusation first. It makes the response look weak. It works especially well on the right, because they're feelings over facts snowflakes
