          Honestly?

          I don’t like the suit, but he made it look good anyways.

          I’m told the yoots call it rizz.

        Personally I’d recommend a tie with more contrast. Maybe a deep green or navy blue. Or maybe a dark brown tie with a pattern of little tan suits on it!

    “Allowing casual clothing on the Senate floor disrespects the institution we serve” Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., wrote in a letter signed by 45 other Republican senators.

    It’s really damn simple. It’s because they don’t care.

    The hypocrisy is the point.

    Everything they do is “do as I say, not as I do”.

    It’s about control and power. Not about values.

    They have no actual values.

      It’s about control and power. Not about values.

      True. But it’s also about the social/class/wealth/gender hierarchies that they defend and believe deeply in. When you’re higher on the hierarchy than someone, that makes them your inferior and it subjects them to scrutiny and authority to which you are (insofar as the hierarchy is real) immune.

      So, when they howl for the little people to abide by rules that don’t apply to them they’re not overlooking that part, they’re flexing about ranking higher and being immune to that rule themselves. For people that believe in that, being flexed on in this way is a ‘put you in your place’ experience, it’s an exercise in dominating or shaming someone that has failed to know his place.

      It might be better to stop calling it hypocrisy, and to start calling it entitlement and arrogance.

      That is seriously the logical conclusion if things progress like this. Republicans are operating on complete bad faith, all in the pursuit of power and getting their way.

      And it’s all so obvious, and yet they still hold a lot of power in the US. That is seriously concerning. Or should be, at least.

    It’s not that they can’t see their own hypocrisy it’s that they don’t care. To their base they see only the one side anyways so it doesn’t matter to them. When will we stop pretending that the GOP is going to change from facing their own hypocrisy.

      Yes. It’s “not hypocrisy” when you’re consistent about believing rules are for your inferiors but not you, it’s a flex when you rub it in their faces that you are their superior.

      That’s the hidden context behind the left-right divide; the right think it’s obvious that there’s a social/class/wealth/race hierarchy while the left seem to expect equal treatment like we all learned about in civics. When they go after Fetterman for failing to ‘respect the decorum of the institution’, they’re not arguing based on rules that apply equally to everybody, they’re flexing when they invoke rules that don’t apply to them.

      The reason they love doing it so much is that ‘owning the libs’ reminds them that they’re superior while shaming or confounding them - even if it’s only so in their heads

      They are not idiots, and they do see the hypocrisy. They deliberately use it to persuade the “hearts and minds” of their voter base. They distract the common conservative with false indignation about hoodies, tan suits and buttery mails.

      Hanlon’s Razor applies here, but we mustn’t ignore the possibility of malice just because their actions seem stupid. With the undeniable history of conservative behavior we must clearly conclude that their intentions are malicious. Especially when the outcomes are so obviously malicious.

      If they were merely stupid, their “mistakes” would result in progressive actions equally. They are not plodding onward toward a dystopian nightmare, they are plotting the “utopian” future where they are the ruling elite and the “huddled masses” serve them mindlessly.

    Debating how hypocritical anybody in politics is being is a fool’s errand. It’s irrelevant and is not productive. Every single one of us exhibits forms of hypocrisy all the time.

    How about we shift to a paradigm where everyone criticizes politicians based on how good or bad their policies are, including how they vote on bills?
