Pretentious hypocrisy is the hallmark of Republicans.

1. Serial, nonstop liars. I can't think of a word that

properly describes people who literally HAVE to lie about everything they do in order to continue, but that's their hallmark. They've betrayed conservatism and conservatives in every possible way by means of 40-year institutionalization of lies, dozens on top of dozens.

It also helps explain Trump's acceptance on the right. Many conservatives may currently reject the GOP "establishment," but only because they finally realize it's been systematically betraying them, not because they have a problem with being lied to, per se.

The epitome of pretentious hypocrisy.
