Correct.
But it's the people that use something like this to make a cheap political point while failing to acknowledge their own party's contribution to the problem and ignoring the fact that they give politicians in their own party a pass for much more heinous actions, like lying to get us into war that took thousands of lives and cost trillions of dollar, that are exacerbating the problem. Because to these people, it's not about fixing what's broken. It's about saying, "Na-na-na-boo-boo," like a little fucking child, so they can cry "hypocrisy!" when no one takes their taunts seriously.
