R: Our platform is based on keeping out immigrants, abolishing CRT in schools, and cracking down on BLM protests

D: A lot of that sounds based on racism

R: To counter your argument, I will show you some decontextualized Joe Biden statements & pretend it’s exactly the same thing

D: Our goal is to acknolwedge where white supremacy affects our society & diminish it where we can

R: Our goal is to call you “hypocrites” and allow it to continue

D: Our goal is to stop institutional racism

R: Our goal is to stop you

R: I will insist your side is just as bad

D: Your counterexamples aren’t comparable in content or scale

R: I will deflect from the issue by focusing exclusively on your hypocrisy

D: Your ideology is pure Whataboutism, which you fallaciously conflate with intellectual integrity

R: Since my own actions indicate that I have no interest whatsoever in addressing racial inequality, I shall fixate on your perceived hypocrisy like a dog with an old shoe until you stop calling us racist

D: I shall once again direct your focus to the result each side wants

R: I shall refuse to address any racial issues until you concede both sides are just as bad

D: That is a transparent way to avoid talking about it at all

R: We certainly are beating this Whataboutism thing into the ground

D: This is nothing compared to its ubiquity elsewhere
