Hypocrisy is a virtue if you plan to break the rules. You’re signaling to your allies that you all can do whatever you want.
Any time you come up with some hypothetical involving politicians and hypocrisy, you need to remind yourself of the above.

The thing is, dems can do what they want. We elevated them and they are weak in face of fascism. It’s easy for them, too. They take their time and plan their scuttle butt with no consequence. What happens if the democrats put in a pit bull ag? The Republicans get upset? They curse their names and say, “you’ll rue the day.” They already do it. They do it when the demo accidently step on a toe. Then cowar away, afraid to upset the money train and lose their station. It’s a joke. There’s nothing to gain here. They lost, you don’t understand. This was off ramp. This was resistance. It’s a sunk cost. You will waste resource going back to this empty well.
