There is something about hypocrisy that has always rubbed me the wrong way. There isn’t much worse than being a traitor to your own cause. Both parties are like this to an extent, but I feel the Republicans are more honest in their motivations and allegiances than the Democrats, even if I disagree with them.

But they aren't. They have this vision of white-male-controlled America from the 40s and 50s that kept minorities and women in "their place". The wish to bring back dangerous biases against POC being less than whites, and males being the dominant deciders in all matters. It's so blatantly obvious with how their chosen messiahs like Desantis and Trump favor only policies that further empower white males and lessen the power of women, POC, and those who aren't gender normative. They aren't rooting for "middle America" they only filling them with fear about diversity and non traditional opinions being equally as valid as "christian" beliefs. Democrats are flawed, but the GOP has become a party of white supremacy which came to a head under the Trump presidency because they found one of their own who wasn't hiding behind the moderate "business forward Republican" persona of past republicans.
