stop trying to "expose the hypocrisy of the right". that only works if your opponent is beholden to reality and has shame. that's not been what matters to them for over a decade now. you "expose their hypocrisy", and they'll just say "okay" and kill you anyway. they're openly, nakedly terroristic christian ethnonationalists. they believe any evil they commit is good because god is on their side. if this was a chess match, the right has already flipped the board over and pulled out a gun and the left is trying to argue that bishops aren't allowed to move vertically.

I donated to The Satanic Temple last month and encourage others to do the same. Given that my donation was used exactly as I’d intended (highlighting hypocrisy), I’ll be turning on recurring donations when I get home.

From their website

No, nor do we believe in the existence of Satan or the supernatural. The Satanic Temple believes that religion can, and should, be divorced from superstition. As such, we do not promote a belief in a personal Satan. To embrace the name Satan is to embrace rational inquiry removed from supernaturalism and archaic tradition-based superstitions. Satanists should actively work to hone critical thinking and exercise reasonable agnosticism in all things. Our beliefs must be malleable to the best current scientific understandings of the material world — never the reverse.

Exposing the right's hypocrisy doesn't really do much. Many of them know but don't care. Many of them don't know but also don't care.

Sartre: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/7870768-never-believe-that-anti-semites-are-completely-unaware-of-the-absurdity

Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

This stunt used to work with the Bush-era (Jr. or Sr.) Republicans. They actually believed in the constitution, they didn't like thinking of themselves as hypocrites. They took pride in having a system of beliefs that was supported by logic. They believed in debates, and thought that their ideas would win.

The MAGA Republicans have clearly abandoned all of that. They don't care about logic. They don't care about the constitution. What matters is their fear. What matters is their interpretation of their religion. What matters is their strongman. It's a fascist movement.

Putting up a satan-inspired display only convinces them that they're right to be afraid, and that they truly are fighting against evil, and that they need their strongman to root out that evil. I still think it's important to push back, even if it only encourages the fascists. But, it's not helpful in the way it used to be when the other side was capable of being embarrassed by hypocrisy.

The GOP is proud of it. Nobody's learned anything.

Hence my donations to the satanic temple. Doing ~~the Lord's~~ Baphomet's work!

Even a toddler could manage to do that. They don't even try to hide it anymore.

Hail Satan
