    stop trying to “expose the hypocrisy of the right”. that only works if your opponent is beholden to reality and has shame. that’s not been what matters to them for over a decade now. you “expose their hypocrisy”, and they’ll just say “okay” and kill you anyway. they’re openly, nakedly terroristic christian ethnonationalists. they believe any evil they commit is good because god is on their side. if this was a chess match, the right has already flipped the board over and pulled out a gun and the left is trying to argue that bishops aren’t allowed to move vertically.

      Pointing out the hypocrisy is extremely useful for convincing open minded individuals who are listening to the arguement. Specifically the next generation.

      The Satanic Temple actually takes action to challenge laws, like when they commissioned a statue of Baphomet to be displayed at the Oklahoma state capitol after a monument of the 10 commandments was installed there. After a court case the monument was removed.
