    The entire “article” is based on one tweet from one guy. Guess that guy is “MAGAs”.

        This is what’s called a whataboutism and it is garbage rhetoric. I’m not saying it isn’t hilarious watching these idiots eat themselves alive. But giving something you agree with a pass because ‘well the other guy did it first’ is dumb.

            It’s not a commentary on shit. It’s attempted righteous grandstanding that falls apart pretty quick and so is this comment.

              Considering the point of whataboutism is to deflect, their example of “slam” articles wouldn’t make sense as it is often used by what you would consider that person’s side wouldn’t make sense. I’d even say your comment fits the good old fallacy fallacy.
