Counterpoint: generally in politics people use opposition to things to indicate that they should have power. A charge of hypocrisy does in fact discredit their statement. If they’re hypocrites, it shows that their public opposition to x doesn’t mean anything moral.
It is obvious that the screenshotted tweets are deflections, as they appeal to the *assumed* (im)moral character of the protesters, without addressing their actual statements. On the other hand, I point out, using the tweeters very words, that they are guilty of logical fallacies

Again, you only do so by making assumptions about their logical argument that they never state. “It is obvious” is another set of weasel words.

Not weasel words, because I gave an actual reason why it is obvious: they appeal to the *assumed* (im)moral character of the protesters, without knowing a thing about them or bothering to address anything they've actually said.
