    I have to think miniature guns for toddlers would open up whole new segments for gun manufacturers

      whataboutism is a common tactic for conservatives. instead of using it to condemn an action they use it to excuse it. their double standards have become so apparent that it doesn’t trigger any sort of cognitive dissonance when a Democrat is condemned for doing something a Republican already did. any sane person could make the argument “aren’t they both bad then?” and it will go completely unheard.

      I’d also like them to, but the strategy isn’t meant to be helpful. Idk the rhetoric term but it diffuses the orig argument & attempts to distract. responding to it is pointless 🤷‍♂️

        It’s literally a tactic used by children when they’re being reprimanded. If you ever come across an “adult” that argues that way, tell them to sit back while the adults talk.
