People on the right don't think logically. It's always just us vs them. If they do gerrymandering its good, if the dems do it its bad. They have no morals, they just know sides. Also they like to engage in virtue signalling. "Freedom!" and all that. They mean freedom for themselves, not for all people. I hate how so many people try to get that gatcha moment with them. Its so easy to do and they could not care less. Guess lefties just like patting themselves on the back after pointing out the right's non existent logic time and time again. You are just the most recent addition to the circle jerk.

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. It is not that they are afraid of being convinced. They fear only to appear ridiculous or to prejudice by their embarrassment their hope of winning over some third person to their side.

The last two sentenced (which are conveniently left out in most quote sites now) are the reason to continue pointing out the hypocrisy.

So your suggestion is to stop pointing out the hypocrisy and this will lead to what exactly?

I'm kind of convinced that most of those people online were foreign agitators and/or bot nets.
