Trumpians who praise ICE (and denigrate its victims) but also support the J6 seditionists' assault on Capitol police officers are not being inconsistent or hypocritical. Here's why: https://www.thebulwark.com/p/renee-good-ashli-babbitt-fascism

1. The purpose of this discussion isn't to play gotcha or to expose hypocrisy. It’s to understand a worldview: The people who run this regime do not understand law enforcement as an institution to be stewarded. The view it as a tool for the domination of their enemies. And their “enemies” include about half of America. Again: This is not hypocrisy. Hypocrisy is when someone holds to a set of values but applies them selectively. You can work with hypocrites because they share your values, even if they do not always adhere to them. Hypocrisy is, famously, the tribute that vice pays to virtue. No, what we are seeing is a worldview for which the only value is the domination of enemies. There is a name for that. It is fascism. In this worldview, Ashli Babbitt was committing violence on behalf of the regime; so she was justified, even if that violence was directed toward government agents. And because Renee Good was opposing the regime, violence against her—this time carried out by government agents—was likewise justified.

  It’s not a hypocrisy. It’s a coherent worldview.
