Fetterman's hoodie vs. Boebert's handsy night: Why Republicans can't see their own hypocrisy

Obama definitely wore it best
That's really a great looking suit
- The audacity that man has to walk around looking so dapper
- 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!
- To be fair, I wouldn't want the President looking that good if I might have to be photographed next to him

“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.

Okay, but what about being a fucking traitor?

They hate that Fetterman looks and dresses like the people he serves. Working class laboring Americans.
- And I hate that we pay these goddamn worthless traitor parasites. We should treat them as the filth they are. I cannot wish enough ill upon republicans.

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.

There is only one party that cares about hypocrisy.

And it ain't the fucking republicans.
A pointing out the hypocrisy is moot, they will just move the goalpost further down field. Rules for thee, not for me.
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.

Have any Republicans said a thing about Boebert giving her boyfriend an over-the-pants handy in public yet?

Nope, family values
- That family's name: The Aristocrats!
No one cares. Rightfully so. Only terminally online people are malding about either of these situations right now
- I would think the "what about the children?!" party would care about a woman getting her breasts fondled and rubbing a man's penis around a bunch of children.
- An interesting take. It seems that plenty of people in congress care about at least one of them... Can you guess which?

Sorry, my public sexual indecency in the presence of minors, a felony, isn’t as shocking as a hoodie.

I would not be shocked if this were a real Boebert quote.
- I would because it uses the word "sorry".

Hoodie + Trust > Suit + Lies

As the limit of fucks I give about clothing at work approaches zero.
- Clearly clothing is optional to her as well.

How many trans people have been caught jerking off their partner while getting groped, vaping, and using inappropriate language in front of minors?

Never mind - we'd better genocide the queers just in case - to protect the children, you see. Boebert? Whatever do you mean?

There was this political party in Germany in the 1930s that insisted everyone dress sharp while they tried to systematically wipe out anyone not blonde hair and blue eyed… the name escapes me though…

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.

I don’t think they care. They went after Obama’s tan suit, AOC’s dress and now Fetterman’s sweater.

Can't be criticized for your outfit if you aren't wearing one taps forehead

Republicans are fully aware of the absurdity of their hypocrisy

They just don't care.

And more over, they find absolute delight in people on the opposite side from them getting in a huff about it.

It's not even a case of 'republicans believe themselvea the only real americans' they act like they believe themselves the only real humans

Therein lies the true danger from these zealous traitors: they see outgroups as not human and will happily commit any number of atrocities against anyone they consider "other."

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?

Honestly, Schumer should just declare casual fridays or something like that. It’d be cool to see who understands that attire doesn’t really have that much impact on the efficacy of the body (to be clear, that’s both commentary on how attire generally doesn’t impact one’s ability to do a non-physical job, as well as an oblique insult to what the Senate has become).

Neither one of these should matter as long as the politician has good policies.

In this case, only one of them does

This is definition culture war bullshit

Bobert is really hot. Reminds me of Lisa Ann.

I'm left-leaning. I'll wear a suit and get handsy with Lauren Boebert, who can wear a hoodie. Will that finally fix this? Can I do it even if it won't?

The suit has to be tan and the handy must be lubed with Dijon.
- I will salute this while holding a latte
- Damn, free upgrades, I gratefully accept.

Can't we agree that both disrespected their position? I mean dressing for the job and not jerking dudes off in public are pretty low expectations for their positions.

One could argue favoring people who wear suits is a way of trying to exclude politicians who come from working class backgrounds. "If you're not comfortable in a suit you don't belong" is how I've heard it described. His constituents seem to like that he's presenting himself as the same person he was when getting elected, shouldn't that be more important?
- I don't think it is. What he's doing is just lazy and disrespectful. I assume he puts the same amount of effort into his job.
I'm regards to to dressing for the job, No?

This is an antiquated and brain dead take. I am paid well, work hard, am very respected by my peers, customers, and anyone who has dealt with me professionally.

I also wear a shirt about 5% of the time I'm working, pants less so. I bet you'd be shocked how much of the modern world you rely on is built, innovated, and maintained by people who wear what you think is disrespectful.

The kinds of dinosaurs and their progeny that think dress makes a single bit of difference in ability, commitment, or respect are the same kinds of people, in general, that think women shouldn't be allowed to think for themselves.
- That's a long winded way of saying I'm lazy.
