    Republicans always press both buttons without even a hint of shame.

      They don’t even realize that what they’re doing should elicit shame. They just think “ban bad thing, don’t ban good thing” without ever considering that their own opinions might somehow not be objective truth.

        Or that believing one thing completely contradicts the other thing.

          Exactly. If they believe one thing, it’s true, if they believe the opposite, it’s also true. They have so much faith that their beliefs are true that they never even consider assessing them. It’s like Schrödinger’s cat - they never open in the box that contains their own beliefs, so they can exist in whatever state they want at any time.

            It helps that so many of them are religious, where you get a lot of practice doing mental gymnastics.

        They don’t care if it’s objective truth. Objective truth has never written them a check. They usually don’t even pretend like it matters.

      True, they make their own rules and we’re somehow fine with it, we just exist alongside this section of society and treat it like opposing views, not the threat to humanity that it really is.

      “Alternative facts?” haha those silly republicans, what will they say next, am i right? “white nationalism and christian ethnostate?” wacky repubs, you stop that silly! “Rolling back women’s rights to less than some periods of medieval europe?” Haha, it’s like they have their own ideas that are just so zany, I sure hope they don’t make all their wacky ideas into laws, that would really be rough!

      They could say the same about:

      • Ban guns.
      • Don’t ban books.

      This is a very silly argument. You need to analyze every action individually and not under an imaginary umbrella that provides no context beyond sensionalism.
