That's nice. Figured I'd duplicate a typical RepubLiar tactic called whataboutism. But here's a meme to make certain folks feel better:Oh,
and I would note that the breakdown of Republican/Democrat states in your map is about 50/50. I believe you are probably focusing on California vs Texas; the two most populous states in the union which are indeed Blue and Red respectively. But while Florida is also a large Republican state; New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois are all solidly Democrat. The problem you are quite justifiably alarmed by is yet another of those where both parties are quite equally to blame for acting horribly.
There actually two motivations for „whataboutism“. One is of course is to make and one‘s own tribe look better by comparison. The other, which I think applies to me, is to point out that both tribes are populated by a large number of disreputable knaves and crooks.That's nice.

The funny thing is, we've both been saying the same thing for the most part. Didn't you note my Will Rogers quotes?There actually two motivations for „whataboutism“.

So I would hope you realize that not every “other side” meme is automatically meant to actually defend Trump.
