inconsistency
Difference is the state or quality of being unlike or the amount of such unlikeness. A difference is in the things compared; a discrimination is in our judgment of them; a distinction is in our definition or description or mental image of them. Careful discrimination of real differences results in clear distinctions. Disparity is stronger than inequality, implying that one thing falls far below another; as, the disparity of our achievements when compared with our ideals. Dissimilarity is between things sharply contrasted; there may be a difference between those almost alike. There is a discrepancy in accounts that fail to balance. Variety involves more than two objects; so, in general, does diversity; variation is a difference in the condition or action of the same object at different times. Disagreement is not merely the lack, but the opposite, of agreement; it is a mild word for opposition and conflict; difference is sometimes used in the same sense.

How to use inconsistency in a sentence?
It's creating anger. It's creating confusion. And, you know, the funny thing is, is it creates more vaccine hesitancy, in my opinion, i don't understand the inconsistency, the confusion and the fear baiting that is basically being used by our leadership.
I was playing one good point, one bad point, one good point. The inconsistency doesn't help me at all, she did a good job just staying there, keep fighting. She never really let me in. Kudos to her. She executed her game style really well.
Samuel Butler, The Way of All Flesh:
Then he saw also that it matters little what profession, whether of religion or irreligion, a man may make, provided only he follows it out with charitable inconsistency, and without insisting on it to the bitter end. It is in the uncompromisingness with which dogma is held and not in the dogma or want of dogma that the danger lies.
We're just treading water, there's been inconsistency out of the White House as to what the (trade) policy actually is. We're all just waiting and tapping our foot to see the actual policy.
I will say that in my opinion, the language on the agenda is not consistent with what is in the letter the TEA sent the board, i am surprised and disappointed to see this inconsistency and have repeatedly asked the board president (the party responsible for setting the agenda and language therein) to align the agenda with the contents of the letter. She has rejected my request.
