In today's political climate, is it even possible for one side to defend their side without bringing up the other side?
If so, I'm not seeing it. Threads can start out straight forward enough (in their own partisan way, sure), but they all quickly turn to variations of, "You didn't say that about <insert other perceived pariah here>." Or, is tactic this confirmation that neither side has any defense?
If someone says, "Trump/Hillary/Obama did X.", I see it as a backhanded acknowledgment of the accusation when the defensive response is something like , "Oh yeah, well, Obama/Hillary/Trump did it, too." What the hell is that? You can't actually defend your person's actions?
