Yes! The best way to point out hypocrisy is being hypocritical! The best way to call out someone who mocks people’s health issues is to mock people’s health issues!
For my part, my comments are not so much a desire to point out hypocrisy as it is more a simple reminder that in order to get respect, you have to earn it and show it yourself. And they're also a reminder that whatever you put out in the world does come back to you.
I don't engage in those kinds of jokes. I have no desire to do so. I can find plenty of ways to call out Trump without going there. But the fact remains (and I know you know this and would agree) that Trump has not earned a single shred of respect during his entire time in office (and hell, before that). He hasn't shown a single shred of decency or kindness, and his actions, as well as those of his supporters, have had great negative consequence for our country.
So fair or unfair, hypocritical or not, it's not surprising to me that some people who are beyond fed up with Trump and his supporters' shit will respond in kind as a result.
