    Ah yes, because it’s better for the dems to lower themselves to fascist standards than showing that they have higher standards.

    This is also expecting conservatives to recognize their own hypocrisy when confronted with it, which will never happen.

        The issue is that none of them will. Trump’s actions have already been so insanely hypocritical, expecting something like this to be the straw that would break the camel’s back is borderline delusional.

          Hypocrisy is easier to ignore when the contradictory behavior happens over a long time period. Its much harder to ignore when the events that highlight the hypocrisy are happening simultaneously.

          I’m not saying it’ll definitely work but I think its worth a try.

          To be clear, I’d much rather Obama join the Chicago protestors in the streets. That would be super powerful. But it won’t happen because he’s not actually on our side. So a tongue-in-cheek 3rd term is about the best we can expect from him.
