Their angle is not "haha your guy will lose!" but had already shifted to "well your guy does it too so it's ok you can't accuse us of anything otherwise you're a dirty hypocrite "
Which i always hate because he’s not “my guy”. He’s a politician that I voted for based on their policies. This isn’t a sports game.
Joining a political "team" just forces you to accept the shit they get up to.
I remember this with Elon Musk's Nazi salute back in January. Even if the images of other politicians "doing it" hadn't been taken grossly out of context, Musk still did it.
Most of those are photos of a wave, which is what gets me. They say "Elon had a photo out of context just like these people!"
And it's like "No...it's a video with the context very much kept and there are no illusions"
