    When did every dope on Twitter decide that accusing adversaries of "whataboutism" was a devastating rhetorical blow

        I'd say the term "whataboutism" should be thrown in a Dumpster Fire full of nothingburgers, but I don't want to engage in False Equivalence.

        What they call "whataboutism" can actually be a legitimate way of pointing out hypocrisy and inconsistent standards.

        The forgotten men and women in flyover USA have enough 'whatboutObama' to last at least 8 years. At least. He was transformative all right.

        "Whataboutism" is a meaningless term. Principles are either adhered to or they aren't. Rank hypocrisy can't be brushed aside with a buzzword

        It means that two wrongs don't make a right. So if Bob stabs Rick, it's not excused because one time Rick parked in two spots.

        No, but if Bob has his stretch Hummer limo straddling 5 spots he is in no position to criticize Rick for lousy parallel parking.

        Others might say defrauding Bernie Sanders and Haitian quake survivors, causing mass humanitarian disasters #Libya and #Syria was worse.

        It's a means of pointing out that you aren't focusing on the argument and implies that if you can't do it, you don't have much of one.
