Yeah. This is how fascists operate. They use their hypocrisy as a weapon to display that the law and our social contract have no power over them.

Quit voting for them & shun those that still do.

And by shun I mean deny them goods, services & civil interactions. Call the police on them for any infraction witnessed. Ridicule and harass them at every opportunity if you can do so safely and legally.
