Re-upping this again: I wish more lefties could internalize the idea that hypocrisy is not a meaningful accusation to the right. Of course they're being hypocrites. That you are bound, by rules, standards, logic, human decency, some fundamental moral consistency, anything at all, and they are not? That is their conception of what power is, and why they seek it. So they can exercise power, without constraint, and you cannot.
That's the whole point.
Hypocrisy is the virtue-signaling of fascism.
If you've read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Diamond_Age, I'd be curious whether you'd consider the overt hypocrisy of Neo-Victorians there to a significantly different/special kind of hypocrisy. (The reason I'm asking is that that's the first thing that comes to mind when I think of a society that overtly accepts hypocrisy.)
