Machiavellian than anything. It's simply political realism.

I would argue it's not hypocrisy and simply McConnell was lying back when he used the election as an excuse.

Ah, ok, so he's not holding this administration to different principles than the last one, he's just a completely immoral, lying piece of shit. You can't have double standards if you don't have any standards. No, you're wrong, this is a lot worse. You think things are always this bad, but they weren't. Keep this up and you'll really learn what it's like to live in a corrupt shit hole.

Again, I'm not saying it's not wrong but it was very clear McConnell was just lying last time and was not hearing the appointee out of political power move. That's why I don't really view it as "hypocritical", rather than he was just flat up lying before.

If you believed McConnell at his word about "giving the people a voice in choosing the supreme court appointee" than you're just a child. I don't know what else to say.

I believe in trying to hold politicians accountable for their word, and voting them out via democratic process if they underperform. You've downgraded him from a hypocrite to a lying piece of shit. I daresay he's unsalvageable at this point.
