It’s that same style whataboutism that Trumpers love to do: “what about Biden?” It’s fucking annoying and I hate Joe Biden. When your only argument is pointing to what someone else did, you don’t really have an argument.
Primus~ "You shot my wife! You bastard"
Secundus~ "But she murdered an entire city block, she's a monster!"
Primus~ "Whataboutism! You are just like a Trumper."
