The problem is that hypocrisy doesn't burn them. Logic doesn't matter.

You'll find conservative women against abortion who had an abortion, because "for them it was different".

You'll find them yapping about taxes and "big crime families" but when trump does it "he's just smart and using the system like everyone else".

You'll find them fed up with "giving away free stuff", when they all do sovcit shit and dodge taxes because "fuck biden or wtv".

They have upper class money, but for them it's different, "they aren't rich" and "daddy technically didn't even help".

Theyre all losers who think all their problems are caused by other people.

My favorite article was about some privileged women who were shocked when they found out that when abortion becomes illegal, they can't have abortions anymore.

Because for them, they were called "terminations". I couldn't make this up.

And then they had the gall to proclaim that they would have been the ideal people to show the importance of the matter. Of course, a matter is unimportant until it affects you, the privileged one.

Zero empathy or reflection. Kind of impressive.
