Hypocritic Oath

Do No Harm, or Not

The discussions of a loyalty oath or purity oath of all those working in the new White House has evolved the oath into a different type of pledge, or maybe a curse.  It is now a variation on the Hippocratic Oath, which can be stated in short  by  "Practice two things in your dealings with disease: either help or do not harm the patient" and in short summary  "First do no harm." Historically the oath requires physicians to swear by healing gods and to have high moral standards in their work.

Following on Christian Nationalists’ change in belief that bearing false witness does not apply to MAGA and the Ninth Commandment can be removed from the Ten Commandments, the replacement for a political Hippocratic Oath has been clarified as the Hypocritic Oath which can be summarized as “Do as much harm as possible and change your integrity as often as possible or required.”  In true adherence to the underlying definition of being a hypocrite: a feigning to be what one is not or to believe what one does not: behavior that contradicts what one claims to believe or feel.  All Republicans engaged with Trump have to sign this oath with a drop of their own blood.

This oath is seen as institutionalizing a trend that has always been evident in politics but, since the election year 2016, the ramping up of hypocritical political statements and actions has made political hypocrisy as popular as professional football, with hypocirisy now becoming a similar almost religious passion.

Paralleling the revamped Department of Justice, a non-official Department of Hypocrisy Enforcement (DHE) will be established within the DOJ, including training to be provided through what is left of the Department of Education.
