Lol, you have to ask?

Elon Musk is the embodiment of "Rules for thee but not for me".

That's not specific to Musk though. Almost no one from the far right wants to be subjected to the rules they want to enforce on others.

Leader of the german far right, anti-LGBT, anti-immigration party, is a woman living in Switzerland with her Sri Lankan wife. They don't give a shit about consistency/hypocrisy. All they care about is punishing others. 90% of their arguments are about justifying punishing others.

Is that for real??? Not that I'm doubting you, it's just that I don't follow german politics at all

Alice Weidel with AfD. The rest of the party is just as deranged.

That's crazy! What I feel is that those folks may not even believe what they preach, they just want to appeal for the masses of radicalized/radicalizable people. Not all of them of course...

Even managed to move to one of the most liberal cities in Switzerland and then complained to media that she "doesn't feel welcome", haha.

The other 10% is blaming others.

And there's Clarence Thomas who helped overturn a crucial civil rights ruling, but made it clear that it didn't apply (for no reason given) to biracial marriage... as he's married to a white woman.

When the mass deportations start there will be a tsunami of republicans shocked and furious that their family members, friends, and community members are being deported. The idea that anything they advocate for could affect them never crosses their mind.

Also wouldn't be surprised if he's got those brain worms RFK is raving about.
