Hypocrisy + Political Opportunism ate Republicans' Faces

They don't have a leg to stand on - unless denial and self-hypnosis is a leg to stand on.

"Like other Republican governors around the country, Tate Reeves of Mississippi reacted angrily to the coronavirus vaccine mandates President Joe Biden imposed on private businesses. Declaring the move “terrifying,” he wrote on Twitter, “This is still America, and we still believe in freedom from tyrants.”

There is a deep inconsistency in that argument.

Mississippi has some of the strictest vaccine mandates in the nation, which have not drawn opposition from most of its elected officials.

Not only does it require children to be vaccinated against measles, mumps and seven other diseases to attend school, but it goes a step further than most states by barring parents from claiming “religious, philosophical or conscientious” exemptions."

Political opportunism seems to be the name of the game among conservatives on both sides of the Atlantic. Abandoning ship en masse (not just in the UK). What were supposedly free market and 'global britain' advocates thinking?

Political opportunism and pragmatism combined to place a permanent prohibition on nuclear power generation in Australia. It is time to correct that mistake and the constraints it now places on our capacity to deliver reliable and affordable energy to households and industry alike. canberratimes.com.au/stor…

Like, how are these accusations not used as blatant political opportunism—and it earnestly makes legitimately awful situations minimized because people flat out don’t want to believe women :(

Chris Christie Campaign's finance co-chair Meg Whitman has called his endorsement of Trump, "an astonishing display of political opportunism."

>"Chris Christie's endorsement of Donald Trump is an astonishing display of political opportunism. Donald Trump is unfit to be President. He is a dishonest demagogue who plays to our worst fears. Trump would take America on a dangerous journey. Christie knows all that and indicated as much many times publicly. The Governor is mistaken if he believes he can now count on my support, and I call on Christie's donors and supporters to reject the Governor and Donald Trump outright. I believe they will. For some of us, principle and country still matter." - Meg Whitman

Has Trump's plan to gain an endorsement from an establishment figure backfired?
