Whataboutism isn't attractive. The extreme groups in the Republican party steered Congress (2010-2018, via the Freedom Caucus) and steer the Executive through Trump. That has not happened with the modern Democratic Party.
- mastox 8y agoSo it's Whataboutism when trying to point out others' hate? Maybe it was a bad attempt, but it was a question to show that both sides are capable of doing horrible things to each other. And that the extremists of any group probably aren't the best at accurately representing the majority's philosophical thinking. Both sides deserve the hate. I'm okay with talking about the hate, but can we be intellectually honest and say both sides have made mistakes. So I agree Whataboutism isn't attractive.
