The Cap Times claims hypocrisy acts as a safeguard for democracy. This is a lie. Hypocrisy is not a shield. It is the symptom of a terminal disease. Politicians use contradictory rhetoric to mask the collapse of the system. They cling to the vocabulary of democracy to hide the reality of their betrayal.

The political class is performing a desperate act of theater. They use the language of norms to justify the destruction of those same norms. Every broken promise is a mark of decay. There is no way to salvage a foundation built on deception.

The depressing features.

• The use of democratic language to mask undemocratic actions.
• The abandonment of core principles for temporary political gain.
• The replacement of substantive policy with performative conflict.
• The destruction of public trust through calculated inconsistency.
