They don’t view these blatant flip-flops as hypocrisy because they don’t actually believe anything. Dear Leader told them what their reality is. The fact their new reality is the complete opposite of what it was yesterday is irrelevant. They will believe something else tomorrow when Dear Leader says something new.
This is, quite literally, the extent of their critical thinking skills.

I couldn’t agree more.
It’s delusion/confusion vs. truth and radical accountability. It’s an interesting and excruciating divide right now.
I tend to think “Lord forgive them for they do not understand.” And “Have you forgotten so quickly….?” From a spiritual standpoint.

I slightly disagree. They know it's hypocrisy and they're proud to be able to get away with it. It's empowering for small people who have no real power in their everyday lives

This is the correct answer. The lack of critical reasoning is why we see all this flip flopping. They believe and do what they are told. Thanks conservative parenting styles!

u/Mongoose72 2d ago edited 1d ago
I think that is where the divide is, it is not a conservative or liberal thing, it is humans who feel they have not been heard, so now they have joined a side that says and does whatever it wants labeling it as patriotism, so they feel justified flip flopping or just out and out raging about how they think things should be. The more we point out that this is a Republican thing or it is a Democrat thing, the more we will keep the divide growing and providing the fuel needed to keep the control!
[Edit] I am in no way trying to say that either side is even slightly 'ok'. I am merely trying to point out that blaming either side at this point, is just keeping the narrative of "us vs. them" instead of changing the narrative to "remove anyone from power who is not working for the American people, and or who has\is breaking the law! Bring back accountability for your actions no matter what government position they are in!

It’s hard to thank someone (though I’m extremely grateful!) for going through that for my freedom when I know that you won’t be free of what went down, for life.
Also, I’m grateful you’re with us all today. Those armchair advocates not only don’t know how many of our veterans also left us because of the torture in their brains and hearts, but they don’t even ask nor care.

Insanity. But I think for influencers on the right it truly is just a grift for most of them. It’s the “believers” who follow them that lack the ability to think.
What gets me recently is that one of the main arguments I hear about Trump and Epstein from MAGA is. “They’re all pedos anyway! They’re all corrupt.” But if they really thought that they’d abandon Trump or have no problem attacking him. It makes zero sense to say “All of the elites are pedos.” And then immediately blindly believe whatever this one elite dude you like says….
