I'm being very clear, and also very consistent.

I answered your question, please answer mine...why are you OK with congressional democrats trying to overturn an election, simply because they lost? Why can't you criticize that?

Here, I'll tee it up for you, you just fill in the blank.

I, WDMSO, think it's horrible that a small number of Republicans tried to overturn the 2020 election simply because they lost. But I don't care that a small number of congressional democrats also tried to overturn the 2016 election simply because they lost. I have no problem with what the democrats did because _______________".

Fill in the blank. If you're still confused, find the dumbest inmate at your prison, have him explain it to you.
Tu quoque (accusation of hypocrisy) is the dominant figure of conservatives. It's used as a form of ad hominem attack (attacking the person instead of their argument) & to deny standing (ability to voice an opinion). It's an anti-democratic silencing & delegitimizing strategy
