During Pres Biden's state of the union address, the behavior of the R with booing & shouts of liar. The hypocrisy is stark naked from their politics to their moral ðics.

Appalling as it was, I don't think their behavior emanates from hypocrisy per se--they don't have the intellectual or emotional capacity to be hypocrites--I think they are "useful idiots," following a script strategically designed and implemented by whatever malignant cabal is running Acultamurica. Political theater--now exponentially enabled by the media--has always been an effective method of controlling and inciting the masses.
Those individuals may not have been being hypocritical during the SOTU, but the ReThuglican Tennessee House certainly is full of hypocrites. Tolerating the SOTU behavior of the thuggish chimpanzees and then expelling two members of the Tennessee House for using bullhorns (a) during a peaceful protest within and outside the building, (b) after their microphones had been turned off, is just beyond the pale - cynical, shocking, hypocritical. And intolerable. What can the voters whose representatives have just been removed do to be represented again?
Absolutely agree with you conceptually. I'm probably guilty of linguistic nitpicking with the word, "hypocrites." My sense of the word is that the hypocrite is aware of reality and uses it to create a self-serving charade. In addition to all you have mentioned, the Tennessee Rs have demonstrated that they lack the intellect and emotional capacity to understand the situation enough to be hypocritical about it.
