Huh, I was told that kneeling silently while a piece of cloth was displayed and a song was playing at a game - was “disrespecting the troops”. I was told that not supporting whatever elective war the conservatives wanted to wage on brown people was “disrespecting the troops”. Meanwhile, funding troops when they were back home and their service and/or the war(s) they were in were over…eh, fuhgeddaboutit.
I don’t think the conservatives really understand the meanings of words. I guess breaking someone’s arm/hand is respecting the troops? As long as it is being done by a conservative?
That seems to be the academic consensus, with regard to right wing authoritarian personalities. They don’t seem to have the inner reflection that makes hypocrisy uncomfortable.

“Black man dint stand for flag song” - conservatives
Many of them know they are using words dishonestly. They don’t care. They will say whatever in the pursuit of power.
Some are just legitimately stupid and have no internal consistency beyond emotions.
