IMO, it is not about being hypocrites so much as about an inability to understand complex ideas.

All one has to do is watch a Jordan Klepper video to see how the Trump supporters struggle to understand the most basic ideas. Video below.

And as I keep posting it is generational. Here is a thought experiment.

Think of a dinner with Einstein, Bertrand Russel and Sartre and half a dozen UC Berkeley grad students. They would probably have a pretty good substantive conversation.

Now go take a look at the 1936 movie:" The cowboy and the Lady" with Gary Cooper and imagine half a dozen of those people at the table.

They would be totally lost and not even begin to enter the conversation as their mental abilities would be less than a modern 10 year old.

But as the women are educating themselves 60/40 over the men, and the kids are learning more than the old white right wingers, and an educated democracy is a healthy democracy, the future bodes well, IMO.

I don't know why anyone doesn't leave after the first day since they'll be banned. I still have to laugh at how small the people in this forum are. Though, it sounds like it wasn't always this way. The same people who scream "free speech" are the first to stop it. Hypocrites.
