Hell, these assholes wear their hypocrisy like a badge of honor.

What keeps marching through my mind regarding them and The Asset they worship - I keep wanting to ask them: “and you’re okay with this?”

I don’t know what will wake them up or shake them loose but I keep reminding myself that the German people finally started looking at what they’d done and enabled. However, look what had to happen before they finally woke up. And look how that accursed movement has NOT died. Those atrocities did not kill that hateful movement and wipe it off the face of the earth. Which is what should have happened. That movement has reared its ugly head yet again.

Which of course is meant to deflect and excuse themselves AFTER they have been caught

To now, where they have moved on to "getting ahead" of any scandal by bringing up the topic themselves, and trying to attach it to the Democrats. ie. sex rings. rigged election, BEFORE they get caught.

Works even better. Its very smart in a KKKarl Rove kind of way. Because that particular faux pas will first be associated with Democrats. Spread far and wide through their propaganda catapult of RW media. So that if, or when, they ever get caught actually doing what they accused the Dems of, they can cry about Democrats being just as guilty, or that its obvious that the Dems are only accusing Reps of what they did (taking a page out of their book). At the very least it takes the sting out a bit when a lot of people have thoughts swirling in their heads "Didn't I hear the Dems did this first?". Or the 'sin' has successfully been accocieted with both parties equally. And the MSM will dutifully question both as if there is an equal evidence equivalency for both parties. "Some people say....."

A more complex variant of the kids’ game, “Tag, you’re it!”

Sharp observation.
