You mean, a person I already don't like and the things we already criticize them for? What about it?

I've seen this pattern many times in the last decade:

* Conservatives: "I don't get it, why aren't they defending their team against my critique? Are they not loyal?

* Liberals: "I don't get it, why won't they acknowledge when Their Team does something bad? Don't they have any principles?"

This feels like whataboutism. That line of argument isn’t new and is often associated with pro-Kremlin narratives—do you have a more substantive point to add?
