I agree it swings both ways. Do I need to say that every time I voice an opinion about one side so as not to get hit with a "whataboutism?" (that was a rhetorical question) I wrote a poem last year...let me go find it...It might be this one, https://medium.com/@marcus17043/the-lastest-and-likely-not-final-trump-indictment-3592314f1fd4 , which contained these lines

Kool-aid drinkers left and right

Scream into echo chambers

I urge cooler heads prevail

and I got an earful from a very close friend, who's as left as can be, about how much worse the substance of the right is--oy vey I wasn't talking about policies...you get it--you'll appreciate the rest of the poem too--it mentions possibility of civil war (what an oxymoron)

PS: that story you told 🤦‍♂️
