Two words every single Trump voter will say if you say something bad about Trump.

[fightforfreedom]

What about!

What about Biden, what about Hunter, what about Clinton. I shit you not. All of them say, what about.

[Thomas Hurt]

1. Near as I can tell, they think that makes it okay, "the libs did this, so it is our turn."

That what they say about Biden et al is usually twisted or an outright lie is another issue.

[PatSeg]

11. Exactly

They honestly don't see anything wrong with the misdeeds except when the opposition does it. Basically, they really have no principles at all. They only care about winning.

[KS Toronado]

14. "They only care about winning."

"We Reserve The Right To Cheat"

[PatSeg]

26. Yes, if that's what it takes to win

They really believe that winning is all that matters and that "nice guys finish last". What a sad way to live.

[niyad]

2. what about them? show me the proof, AFTER you defend your cult leader.

[Qutzupalotl]

3. The other two-word phrase they love is "Fake news!"

Because negative info must be fake.

[Ferrets are Cool]

23. This

[Ladythatvotesblue]

4. What about

THE... BIG LIE!
THE... INSURRECTION! and CONTINUED CALLS FOR VIOLENCE.
THE ...STOLEN CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS!
THE... THE PULL OUT OF TROOPS THST LEFT OUR KURDISH ALLIES TO FEND FOR
THEMSELVES.
THE...DEATHS OF INNOCENT PEOPLE THAT DIED OF COVID! that didn't have to.
THE ...BOOT LICKING OF PUTIN!
THE ...DEGRADATION OF BLACK FOLKS, WOMEN, BROWN FOLKS.

[FakeNoose]

9. You bet - and that's just for starters

That list of their sins could be 10 times as long.

We need to start turning the tables around every time they do this.

[calimary]

22. Welcome to DU, Ladythatvotesblue!

I'm another lady voting blue!

This is a good list.

What about
THE... BIG LIE!
THE... INSURRECTION! and CONTINUED CALLS FOR VIOLENCE.
THE ...STOLEN CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS!
THE... THE PULL OUT OF TROOPS THST LEFT OUR KURDISH ALLIES TO FEND FOR
THEMSELVES.
THE...DEATHS OF INNOCENT PEOPLE THAT DIED OF COVID! that didn't have to.
THE ...BOOT LICKING OF PUTIN!
THE ...DEGRADATION OF BLACK FOLKS, WOMEN, BROWN FOLKS.

5. Whataboutism is symptomatic of having no substance underlying one's positions. nt

[KPN]

12. Yep, exactly and well said. They have no real arguments with merit.

[rubbersole]

24. They never argue/dispute the facts...because the facts don't matter.

Never will. My favorite is the "but he's on the side of the little guy..." then ask for an example. "Wall" or a variation of some racist trope.

[durablend]

6. "What about"

If Biden had stolen and stashed classified documents in his house, what would you say about that?

[AnotherMother4Peace]

7. When an interviewer asked Charles Manson if he was sorry, he became indignant & angry

and aggressively confronted the interviewer with what aboutisms: what about pollution, what about the wars, what about the starving children, what about the climate, what about poverty, etc, etc. He would start screaming about "look what you all have done. Are you sorry about that?" And Manson screamed about "being sorry for what? I didn't do anything.", etc. etc. - truly fascinating interview. The interviewer was a woman & she did such a great job. - fascinating.

[cynical_idealist]

8. And tfg killed so many 1000's

[Emile]

10. They voted for the SOB to shake things up in Washington,

the least they can do is defend the asshole on what he done.

[Mr.Bill]

13. The thing I mostly hear is

"My 401K was doing great."

[Yavin4]

15. If Trump were Jeffrey Dahmer

What about Ted Bundy! What about BTK!

[Smackdown2019]

16. Easy Response

Okay, what about Clinton Emails? She went through 12 hours of Congressional LIVE TV trial and NEVER ONCE say the FIFTH!

What about Hunter? Who is he? Oh, the presidents son. So? What about trumps daughter and son-in-law who were government officals and took money from the Saudis and Chinese.

What about Biden?

He saved this nation from those fascists and will bring justice to those that violated the law!

[Mr. Ected]

17. They love to play the victim

Like we do everything they do but worse, but there are never any consequences.

Then they gish gallop a dozen conspiracy theories and never respond to the original question.

Might as well give up on them. Their brains have been conditioned. All they hear when we talk is blah, blah, blah, because listening means they'd have to think about it and that is antithetical to their carefully crafted mental programming.

[OMGWTF]

18. They. Have. Nothing.

[sarcasmo]

19. Whataboutism is the GOP come back.

[Septua]

20. "Accuse the other side of that...

..which you are guilty."

As another poster said, for Republicans, it's simply about winning elections. They couldn't fix a damned thing that Biden is dealing with if they were in control.

[Snackshack]

21. True "what about" seems...

To be the fulcrum of any reply by a maga.

That is when facts come in handy and they have none. Asking them to back up a claim about HRC, Hunter or any other completely manufactured false equivalence they use. Eventually though the hard part becomes doing this and not letting any personal bias or implications of naivety/immaturity on the maga rep crash into the discussion.

[RedSpartan]

25. I see you've met my in-laws.

[Demovictory9]

27. Hunter Biden Hillary combined haven't engaged in 5%of the shenanigans that Trump has
