Seems like the main issue is conservatives have a problem recognizing psychopaths…
Kari Lake is clearly atypically devoid of healthy body language, empathetic sincerity, and emotional let alone intellectual integrity…
The persona she projects as Kari Lake is clearly a performance but I get the impression it’s just like fast food photography, a representation of what some might call ideal food but entirely consisting of non-edible compounds or so doctored with cosmetic chemicals that if it was originally food it has become so toxic to be indigestible if not altogether fatal to eat.
Triump, Gaetz, Cruz, Boebert, MTG, Jordan, Tucker, Jones, Pool, Peterson, Shapiro, Owens, and all these other performative “conservative” whatevers just baby birding echothers words like a bucket brigade of distorted sick into the ears of any ill mind they can get into.
Rightwingers are just fascists. No surprise, really. Just fascists being fascists. No criticism of dear leader or their ideas. No interfering with the story of their own heroic acts to slay the evil out group, which is clearly the cause of all the problems the fascists create.
The “hypocrisy” is the point. The “hypocrisy” is a naked exercise of power.
> “Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

They only care about winning. Morals, integrity, logic, truth, facts … all don’t contribute to winning, so why bother?

If Republicans are saying it, then the opposite is true. Pure messaging without any principles.

The GOP are big fans of the fascist Viktor Orbán.
