I get it. I also get that the reason this is an issue is because he lost a seat he held for 20 years and needs help from others to keep his job and house. He talks about personal responsibility and then asks for handouts when he loses. He talks about government elites and then uses his political status to get special treatment. It is an example of his hypocrisy.

It's almost comical that his election tagline was, "vote for change", and then he refused to accept the change his constituents voted for.

Valid point. Seeing it from that perspective almost makes me just as angry, but am refusing to 😅

Thing is, the hypocrisy is invisible and meaningless to his voters. But if you ever have the chance for respectful dialog with them, maybe there will be an opportunity to change some views.
