    Also my co-workers and conservative family love to say it whenever a Republican does something illegal or immoral. It’s a scape goat they throw out when they get backed into a corner and can’t face the fact that they’re wrong.

      It’s exactly why Republican media spends so much time projecting. It’s a protective mechanism. If they can say the left is exactly the same kind of bad, even if it’s a complete lie, then you get to stick with the party you want to instead of considering changing if you do happen to recognize how bad they are.

      “BoTh SiDeS” helps Republicans tremendously.

      It’s what conservatives say to avoid responsibility for bad behavior, yes.
