I honestly hadn’t seen the word used until after Biden was elected. It really is just the liberal version of “fake news” and they don’t even realize it.
That’s the thing; the only differences between a Democrat and a Republican are the color of their tie, the flavor of their lobbyists, and whether or not they’ll tell you to your face that they don’t give the first fuck about you.
They’re both dogs, both part of the canine family; and whenever we pull for either side, we’re pulling for winding up in the doghouse.
It’s actually very old. It was used a lot during the cold war.
I knew it had existed, just hadn’t seen it used until Biden was elected. But the resurgence of the Neo-Cold War explains why it’s regained popularity.

From In Praise of “Whataboutism” by Margaret Kimberley:
The word “whataboutism” is used to silence and insult opponents of U.S. imperialism. It should be embraced as a means of revealing what is too often kept hidden.
Thank you for this, my new favorite news site.
