1 Hundreds of Trump hypocrisies exposed daily! But who really cares about these? Most will normalize them, his supporters celebrate them.

2 There are actual violations of law happening, there are people who will suffer or die because of his decisions. These should be the focus.

3 I can think of few things that are finally more ineffectual and also self-defeating than the left's obsession with political hypocrisies.

4 Look, I am far from declaring hypocrisy nice or good or a virtue or what have you -- but there are worse things than hypocrisy.

5 Trump policies will victimize people with whom majorities will identify if we tell their stories over and over and over again.

6 Trump policies will be based on demonstrably false economic, environmental premises that majorities can be made to understand…

7 …if we provide better alternatives in a pithy, consistent way over and over and over again (yes, even if that bores the hot take left).

Trump is a hypocrite.
We get it.
Trump's supporters don't care about what they claimed to.

Do more.

11 I worry, mulched into the left's endless exposure of hypocrisies is a hostility to compromises, qualifications, dynamism in all politics.

15 This takes the form especially of a confusion of politics (collective problemsolving, historical reform struggle, stakeholder compromise)

16 …with aesthetic perfections, ethical universalism, moral exclusion/evangelism, and the linear implementation of engineering specs.
