* {{Hypocrite}}: He won't live up to the same moral standards that he demands pregnant people do.

to:

* {{Hypocrite}}: He won't live up to the same moral standards that he demands pregnant people do. He similarly expresses disdain for leftists not being willing to engage in good faith with opposing views but regularly shows a complete disinterest in the idea of any other views besides his own being worthy of serious consideration.


Added DiffLines:

* StrawCharacter: Tom represents far-right pundits, most notably Ben Shaphiro, whose aggressive bluster, self-image of unemotional logic and focus only on what they see as hard realities and demands for civil discourse are a cover for their views lacking much credibility and their disinterest in any views or facts but those which align with their worldview. Tom also represents their hypocrisy and inability to live by the same principles they demand oppressed groups do and which they frame as moral absolutes, breaking down in tears and demanding to be freed from his capture, even knowing it will lead to another person's death.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: He will occasionally express disdain for more extreme figures such as Steve Bannon and their rhetoric or methods while still expressing basically the same sentiments, reflecting how many conservative pundits will express contempt for open racism and bigotry of other right-wing figures while still arguing for policies and views that have that same mentality, just expressed in a more diplomatic manner.

Corrected "refuges" to "refugees".


* HateSink: He's a SerialKiller that hides his regressively Fascistic views on immigrants, refuges, minorities, women's rights and basic individual autonomy under a faux-populist layer of charm that even the sleaziest used car salesman would call foul on.

* StrawPolitical: She represents ostensible progressives who are really more concerned with not having to change anything or be inconvenienced in any way than with really helping people, and will be actively unhelpful if threatened. (If you read the subtitles over the credits, Abigail describes her as a liberal in bed with a fascist.) She also has strong shades of TERF[[note]]Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist[[/note]] ideology, with her fixation on uteruses as a sign of womanhood and her co-opting feminist language to make the Fireman out to be sexist for not wanting to be misgendered. The TERF symbolism loses all subtlety in ''Violence & Protest'' where she directly lifts talking points from anti-trans groups (with a few words changed to make it anti-fire safety) and finally outright makes the comparison herself.

* StrawPolitical: Of feminist "Girlboss" executives and CEO's who use progressive rhetoric to cover up that they are just as mercenary and unethical as their male counterparts and represent diversity that doesn't actually help anyone outside of a high earning demographic and just allows consumers to overlook shady practices and inventions by believing they are supporting women or other minorities.
