Most annoying "normie" political takes ?

[OSR stands with Israel]

Not really a take but it's annoying to me how much time people devote to trying to point out Republican inconsistencies as if they were "gotchas". E.g., "Kevin McCarthy said this recently, but two months ago he said this totally opposite thing!"

The GOP hasn't stood for any sort of principle other than the accumulation of power. If you ever took anything they said as anywhere close to reflective of their beliefs or true intentions, here have you been for the last decade-plus?

I don't know if this is so much a "normie" thing as it is a "stupid partisans who don't really understand campaigns and voter demographics in general on both sides" thing, but the idea that showing hypocrisy in some figure on the other side is some sort of DEVESTATING burn that'll ruin them has always been one for me. A great example is when it was revealed that Sarah Palin's daughter was pregnant in 2008 and a bunch of liberal pundits and social media users were all "HA HA SO MUCH FOR GOP FAMILY VALUES AMIRITE?" as if both socons and swing voters weren't fully aware that teen pregnancies happen with teens from conservative families too and that supporting things like abstinence-only education doesn't give a parent full reign to control every matter of their kid's private life. (On a side note the Obama campaign's decision to stay out of attacks on this completely was not only extremely smart it's something that I wonder if it would happen or even be possible today with how campaigns are ran and that certain blue check types would try to force it into being an issue even if it clearly doesn't help.)

Bringing up Al Gore or some liberal celebrity engaging in some not exactly carbon neutral lifestyle activity or random Democrats going out in public without a mask back when mask mandates were common are the right-wing equivalents.

Yah Obama in 2008 basically decided to campaign like if George W Bush was John McCain's running mate and not Sarah Palin and Biden did it too.
