It's not a double standard. They have one standard: hierarchy. People higher on the hierarchy can do what they want. Everyone lower has to obey. But they can shit on the people under them.

That's it. That explains it all.

Trump can do what he wants because he's the king. Men can abuse women because men are above women. White women can abuse black anyone, because whites are above blacks.

That's the only rule.

This also explains why they don't want nationalized health care, public transit, or other things that benefit everyone: because then lower tier people would get the same stuff. They would rather die so long as their "lessers" are worse off.

Do not listen to their explanations. They are lying.
