There is no "getting" these hypocrites. They cannot feel shame. They don't play by the same rules.

Such a pity, too. Not long ago something like this would have ended even a powerful politician's career. Dead. Full stop. But now, who can blame them? They've learned that there are no consequences for their hypocrisy and bad behavior, so why would they change?

I know a guy who voted for trump and was living in a bubble. His bubble has been officially popped. We try not to laugh because he's fighting the good fight now, but we've been trying to wake him up since the last term.

TL:DR- People do switch sides occasionally. It's worth the effort.

The reality that a Republican has done wrong is never as important as the suspicion that a Democrat might be thinking of doing wrong.
