It's a hilarious and performative fall from grace from those who idolize free markets, say the government should not "pick winners", and rail against the nanny state.

They don't and never did sincerely hold those values, just as they use the Bible as a weapon without embodying the values of Jesus.

They are also fully immune to being tarred as hypocrites, so none of this matters.

Who is "they" in your comment?

It's an answer to the parent, which specifically says...

> those who idolize free markets, say the government should not "pick winners", and rail against the nanny state.

...but then act in the opposite way to the beliefs they say they hold.

The comment you are replying to adds that the group of people that behave like this likely has an overlap with people that...

> use the Bible as a weapon without embodying the values of Jesus.

So to me that would be a group of people I'd readily label as hypocrites, self-dealing populists or straight up liars.

I'm guessing the people who supposedly "idolize free markets" yet clearly do not based on their actions.

Or rather, they correctly determined that their opponents were totalitarians who fully intend to use their support for liberty to destroy them, and are acting accordingly.

This is kind of like finding someone who supports non-violence, physically choking him, and then sneering at him for going against his principles when he tries to fight back.

Maybe try listening to and understanding people instead of sneering at them.
