    I don't understand what you were trying to say but that linked article was a good explanation of whataboutism/argument from hypocrisy/tu quoque.

    The origin has to be Roman though, not Russian.

    There is a lot of hypocrisy at work in contemporary politics—no doubt we all have our favourite examples, from the moralising adulterers to the mudslinging do-gooders. But although it is fairly easy to point the finger at all this hypocrisy, it is much harder to know what, if anything, to do about it. The problem is that hypocrisy, though inherently unattractive, is also more or less inevitable in most political settings, and in liberal democratic societies it is practically ubiquitous....

    What to do about it? Well anyone who wants change can vote for people and parties that do not display hypocrisy. Or keep voting "A" or "B" for more of the same.

    It will beA or B no matter what you think. Trump is an independent but he needed the Republicans to win. He had top agree to put mon=liberals on the Court to win.
    Liberals are a clear and present danger to our nation
    Pick your enemies carefully.

    For the next decade, any time any conservative claims to not be a flaming moral relativist hypocrite, someone will merely have to say the word "Trump", and the entire room will bust up laughing at how bad of a liar that conservative is.

    They all smooch the butt of a disgusting human being, and make up excuses for doing so. That makes them flaming moral relativist hypocrites.

    And boy howdy, do they ever hate it when people point that out and laugh at them. They frantically try to change the topic away from the buttkissing of a moral leper. Their favorite method, as used regularly by most of the Trump cultsts here, is some variation on "I know you are, but what I am I?". Another popular one is to just scream "You're a kook!".

    In any case, their refusal to address the core issue tells you all you need to know. They know they're hypocrites, but TheParty orders them to be hypocrites, and they lack the guts to stand up to TheParty.

    Take a good look at what you've posted. Then take a good look at what party you apparently support, and then try and declare either one 'morally superior'. Neither one is, and neither one will ever be.

    You've wasted your breath.

    A partisan hack always assumes a conservative is always a Republican.

    Gaetz, Nunes, Meadows and Jordan are the Cream of the Hypocritical/ #Deplorable Crop.

    Who keeps electing these clowns?
