High-fiving each other in front of a cheering audience when asked if they’d been arrested. Party of law and order, everyone. A sprinkle of personal responsibility in there too.
It’s fine to be proud of being arrested for doing something you believe in. Like getting arrested for sitting at a Woolworths counter to protest segregation.
It’s an entirely different thing to be proud that you got arrested for failing to show up in court or for drunk driving.
I’m not arguing the finer points of when going against law and order is good or bad, I’m pointing out that they’re hypocrites to their professed ideals of being lawful
They are the party of hypocrisy and bigotry, it’s that simple.
Everything they claim they are, they do the opposite of.
Everything they rail against, they do in private with practiced ease.
The fact that they have the power they do proves that humanity in general is not rational or logical and we really need to stop pretending that everyone is.
