While it’s hypocrisy in practice, it’s not hypocrisy in belief. Conservatives believe that there are people who the law protects but does not bind, and those the law binds but does not protect. When you realize that the regime is acting under a belief that freedoms only apply to their own kind, their behavior is consistent. Reprehensible, but consistent.
That arguably goes without saying. They don’t know they’re being hypocritical and they don’t care. They think, say, and do what they’re told to. The few who know better are the ones dictating the narrative.
