The hypocrisy is the point, they know it's a double standard. The entire point is to state that THEY are the ruling class and THEY are not subject to the same rules as anyone else. Being openly hypocritical is a core aspect of fascism. It's a power move.

Vance’s Double Standard: Nazi Jokes Are “Kids Being Kids,” But Mocking Charlie Kirk Gets Your Visa Revoked

JD Vance thinks praising Hitler and talking about putting political enemies into death chambers is harmless “kids being kids,” but criticizing Charlie Kirk is somehow deserving of state-supported punishment. It sure looks like he’s got quite the double standard. Yesterday, Vance defended Young Republican leaders who were caught in leaked chat logs making racist, antisemitic, and pro-Nazi comments, dismissing their behavior as harmless kids being edgy.

We are fighting for true freedom. The freedom to live a life of dignity and joy.

A life of 80 hour work weeks, of constantly struggling to get by, being trapped in a shitty job by your health insurance — this is not freedom, and we are not free. But we could be. If we fight.

Protests almost never "turn violent" until the cops show up doing violent things. Sometimes causation and correlation align.

Not that anybody comes to me for Maine politics, but the fact that the Democrats successfully convinced a 77yo Governor to primary the 41yo progressive, is today's example of why the Democrats fucking stay failing.

Susan Collins is 72 and if Schumer gets his way, she'll be the YOUNGER choice!

When your government is so desperate for you not to protest, so scared of what you might do at a peaceful gathering, you really only have one option.

No Kings means no thrones, no crowns. If we did have a king, it wouldn't be motherfucking King Krasnov.

On Oct 18, we march for democracy.
150 people who oppose this regime. Follow all and share so we can connect. That is our greatest power.

So if they are trying to frame the act of being actively critical of the President of the United States as "hating America", what does that have to say about the four years of "Let's Go, Brandon"?
