I totally agree, but I think they could have managed to capture the simple nuance of “in order to care about people and make their lives better, we make a special exception for evil assholes, and we do not care about those people or make their lives better”. If I live on an island with ten people and one of them only wants to beat up the others all the time, there’s not really much hypocrisy in me saying “I want to make everyone’s lives better, but this one jerk won’t let us have that, so I guess we have to settle for making everyone’s life better except for his”. Nothing stops the Democrats from knocking it off with the warmongering while still at least speaking harsh words about the true failings of their political opponents.
