People think that right-wing people will change their mind, or at least admit a mistake, after having their hypocrisies pointed out, but they won’t. That only happens when you have actual ethical principles as your guiding values. The only guiding principle on the right-wing is “winning,” and admitting that you made a logical mistake looks “weak,” so they won’t ever do it.

Liberal newspapers spend a lot of time trying to show that conservatives are hypocritical in an attempt to get them to admit that they are. It will never work. The left should just focus on winning ourselves and engaging with disillusioned people. Don’t think right-wingers are not aware of the absurdities of their replies. They just don’t care.
