I know a lot of us don’t read the news, so here’s a meme. The Republican Speaker of the House has begun an impeachment inquiry on U.S. President Biden.

To see McCarthy calling for an impeachment, despite a law the republicans themselves made to stop trump from getting impeached during his term, is comical. Literally elementary school logic.

Do not think they do not recognize their own hypocrisy. It is a demonstration of power: "See, I can get away with it. Because I am in power."

This. To anyone who thinks this is the Republicans being hypocritical: They know. They do not care. They are lying to your face. Pointing out the hypocrisy does literally nothing because they. Do. Not. Care.

I mean, they do care. It's a fundamental part of how fascism works, so they can't leave hypocrisy out.
