The right's "disgust" with Nancy Pelosi (a form of control)

The right's "disgust" with Nancy Pelosi" is a double standard that conservative/traditionalists use to keep
order.

Conservatives (the right wing, the ones self-charged with keeping order) are following the Regina George principle.
Make up a set of rules to keep order, even though in their core,
they understand these rules are artificial, intended to keep order.



When the conservative (leader) breaks the rule (Trump refuses to shake hand with Nancy Pelosi)
it's alright as the conservative is always allowed to show their contempt.
When the liberal (and/or anyone outside of the ruling order) retaliates in kind, it is NEVER ACCEPTABLE.

Growing up in a small conservative town, I experienced this first hand on many occasions.
