Political Memes

A lot of Republican politics depend on definitions that they create and modify at their own whims. They put family first, but if you do something they don't like, then they accuse you of not prioritizing their feelings. Supporting family means supporting what your parents say, or maybe only what one parent says, the one who is speaking.

And then there's the classic matter of being nice or being polite. If you say something that is discomforting, they'll accuse you of disturbing the peace. And that ignores the last decade or two or three where you were not living in peace because of the system they created, because of their actions. But they get to define the word "nice" to be something that doesn't offend them.

Of course this is not unique to Republicans. Any group of people that is in power and seeks to remain in power can exhibit these behaviors. We just need to call them out when we see them, every time.
