Hey Y’all!
I’m inspired by Jeff Foxworthy’s bit about rednecks. Here’s my take on hypocrites.
If you think private businesses can make their own rules (i.e., not making a cake for a gay couple) but then get angry that a business wants you to wear a mask, you might be a hypocrite.
If you think crossing the border illegally to provide for your family is wrong, but refusing government orders to close your business because you need to provide for your family is ok, you might be a hypocrite.
If you think a woman’s right to choose what happens with her body should be subject to government regulations, but you protest government regulations regarding your right to choose where you can go (i.e., shop), you might be a hypocrite.
If you are staunchly pro-life and want to see abortions criminalized but are ok with some elderly people dying as a consequence of jumpstarting the economy, you might be a hypocrite.
If you think Colin Kaepernick taking a knee in protest is inappropriate, but you protest government shelter-in-place orders, you might be a hypocrite.
If you wear a mask while protesting, you might be a hypocrite.
If you rail against government handouts but now are desperate to get your stimulus check and/or unemployment, you might be a hypocrite.
If it’s ok with you to have the government mail you a stimulus check (and passports and IDs) but not a ballot, you might be a hypocrite.
If you are trusting scientists about prescription drugs but not climate change, you might be a hypocrite.
If you love Trump calling people names but don’t like it when Pelosi does, you might be a hypocrite.
If you mourned nearly 3,000 people dying on 9/11 but not the 3,000+ dying every day from COVID-19, you might be a hypocrite.
If you didn’t think it was ok to allow the president to have a Supreme Court pick in an election year in 2016, but it’s ok in 2020, you might be a hypocrite.
If you didn’t believe Christine Blasey Ford but believe Tara Reade, you might be a hypocrite.
Similarly, if you believe Christine Blasey Ford but don’t believe Tara Reade, you might be a hypocrite (or maybe not).
If you made it to the end, great! Thanks for reading.
I’m really not trying to pick a fight. I’m just asking everyone to really consider actions/reactions — especially right now.
Kthxbyeeee,
Beth
Love it!
But… I dunno about this one: “Similarly, if you believe Christine Blasey Ford but don’t believe Tara Reade, you might be a hypocrite (or maybe not).” I just figure that now while all that behavior is reprehensible, since American apparently elected Old Pussy Grabber, this is no longer something we can bring up without being hypocrites.

It’s ridiculous. “Old Pussy Grabber” made me laugh, though.

It’s felt like I’m one of the few people who believes Tara Reade. It’s possible she exaggerated her account of the assault, but I believe she definitely experienced some degree of harassment when working in Joe’s office. I need to read that Wash Post article later.
P.S. Your eyes are such a pretty color. I noticed that in some other pictures.

Thank you! And I think Biden is kinda gross. One of my friends said no matter whom we choose in November, we’re going to get a pervy drunk uncle.
