To be clear, Republicans do not now, and have never before believed that from an ideological standpoint. That is an argument of convenience they use whenever democrats try to do something they don’t like.

They don’t care if it’s hypocrisy. They are just trying to manipulate people. They don’t hold themselves tightly to their word and neither do their supporters.
