And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

It comes down to power dynamics. If you have the power you are likely to abuse it. Human nature.

Doesn't forcing the staff to wear festive hats whilst simultaneously wearing a Grinch hat send a conflicting message?

A better metaphor for our national identity would be the "Finger" episode of Bottom where Richie and Eddie impersonate a pair of honeymooners after nicking their "got married" car to pinch their planned post-wedding vaction https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finger_(Bottom)

Gutter humor, a British creation and in no way sophisticated or clever. Also ends badly in a predictable way.

To be fair. Someone launches a metal can at the moon, that's a thing to watch. Someone spends 50 million on a wedding, that is also a thing to watch.
