Hypocracy

Have you noticed that public figures who two weeks ago were claiming Trump was worse than Hitler have now congratulated him on winning and stated their intent to cooperate in a smooth, no-snags transition come January? I’m certain that, at a minimum, Biden, Harris, and Obama have done this.

If you really believed Trump was Hitler, wouldn’t you fear being killed and sent to the ovens? Wouldn’t you be booking one-way overseas travel? Liquidating your holdings and sending money overseas? Sewing jewelry into your clothing? Doing all the things German Jews in the 1930s should have done, and a lucky few actually did? In the immortal words of Matt Dillon, “Getting out of Dodge.”

None of the famous people making those claims believed what they were saying; their subsequent behavior makes this clear. They did hope you’d believe enough of it to vote against Trump. If you let yourself be conned, shame on you.

They complain about him exaggerating and bloviating … have they no self-awareness? No realization the election returns make them look absolutely foolish? If an almost-Hitler does someday come along, will their repeated crying “wolf” have deadened the public to a real menace? The three mentioned above and two dozen more are effing pathetic.
