22. They don't even care that they're hypocrites.

They believe that their way is the only correct way.

Thats why they want to limit who can vote. They don't want liberals, minorities, or anybody but themselves to vote because they believe they're right and we're all wrong. America must be protected from us!

They're authoritarian. They don't want democracy. When they talk about freedom it's freedom from anybody else's opinions and laws.

Until recently they had a common enemy - the woke liberals - that allowed them to feel that they were part of a club where everybody shared the same beliefs and values. The election of Trump this time changed that.

Suddenly they're being owned by their own side.
