I'm not responsible for theirs. I'm responsible for my own.

The proposed double standard is, "Those boys are racist MAGAts for wearing those hats, while others I approve of who wear certain kinds of clothing are the victims of evil stereotyping."

My take is that if one's wrong, the other's wrong. But again, I'm not responsible for their hypocrisy and have limited ability to make them a better person, and even less power to do so. I'm only responsible for my hypocrisy and have greater opportunity to make myself a better person and really, that power's all mine.
