Certainly! Here are 18 sharp comebacks to the hypocritical takes on the LA protests, highlighting the contradictions and double standards among some conservatives on X/Twitter:
1. **”But what about violence?”**
“So, when you defend police violence, do you also defend the violence used against protesters? Hypocrisy at its finest.”
2. **”They should just protest peacefully.”**
“Exactly like your protests during certain political rallies, right? Or is peaceful only when it suits your narrative?”
3. **”They’re breaking the law.”**
“And your right to free speech isn’t? Hypocrisy cloaked as law and order.”
4. **”Where was this concern when protests were happening elsewhere?”**
“Probably busy ignoring it. Selective outrage isn’t new in your playbook.”
5. **”They’re just mobs.”**
“So, peaceful demonstrators are mobs now? Looks like ‘mob’ is your new favorite word for marginalized voices.”
6. **”Law enforcement should handle it.”**
“Except when law enforcement uses excessive force, then suddenly they are ‘agents of tyranny.'”
7. **”They caused the violence.”**
“Yet, you defend riot gear and tear gas as if they’re necessary for safety. Consistency, please?”
8. **”Masking their demands as chaos.”**
“Just like how you dismiss protests for racial justice as ‘chaos,’ huh?”
9. **”We need order, not chaos.”**
“But when you demand order, do you also accept the chaos of inaction on issues like immigration and inequality?”
10. **”They should just obey the law.”**
“And what about laws that oppress or silence dissent? Are those worth obeying too?”
11. **”They’re illegitimate.”**
“Based on what? Your biased view? Sounds like you’re dismissing democracy itself.”
12. **”This is an insurrection.”**
“Except when your side storms the Capitol. Then it’s ‘patriotism,’ right?”
13. **”The protests are disrupting our city.”**
“And your political protests aren’t? Hypocrites love to pick and choose.”
14. **”They’re encouraging more violence.”**
“Meanwhile, your tweets are fueling division and hatred. Double standard much?”
15. **”If they cared, they’d work with authorities.”**
“But when authorities refuse to listen, suddenly protest becomes the only option.”
16. **”This is an attack on our values.”**
“Or maybe it’s an attack on the values of justice and human rights you conveniently ignore.”
17. **”We need to restore order.”**
“Order for whom? For the oppressed or for the oppressors?”
18. **”This isn’t the America we should want.”**
“Unless you happen to agree with their demands, then suddenly it’s the America you wish to defend.”
These comebacks show how the same actions are interpreted wildly differently depending on political allegiance. Hypocrisy doesn’t look good on anyone.
