Hypocrisy is a main feature of fascism [View all]

I think it's important to remember that fascists seek to dominate and that what seems like hypocrisy to most is actually their show of force, that the rules don't apply to them. Free speech only applies to who they want it to apply to. Political violence is fine for them and an outrage for anyone else. On and on we are seeing a double standard, but that's the point for Trump and his cabal, they have the power to do whatever they want, the other side doesn't. And they're claiming all sorts of power and credit for things they didn't even do.

I think it's important to know all of this because throwing their own hypocrisy in their face is ineffective and will be met with, "Yup, ha ha."
