No lib - not a one of you - has any standing to whine about anything that Trump says for all of eternity.~DOPE

LOL! MAGA trots out their old favorite, Whataboutism (also called whataboutery)...
Yes, Donald Trump's criminality is truly breathtaking, but Dems don't have a leg to stand on because something, something or another...

Whataboutism is closely related to the tu quoque ("you too") fallacy, a subtype of the ad hominem argument.
It attempts to undermine the critic’s position by accusing them of similar or worse behavior, rather than addressing the substance of the original criticism.
This is considered a logical fallacy because:
1) Even if the counter-accusation is true, it does not refute or excuse the original wrongdoing.
2) It distracts from the issue at hand, often derailing productive discussion.
Users of whataboutism are attempting to avoid accountability and in turn avoid the original argument.
