Your opponent: "I want fairness and consistency. We should treat everyone equally under the law, regardless of political affiliation."
You: "Here we go again with the 'whataboutism'."
Do you see why that doesn't work? He's pointing out unfairness, and you are using the term "whataboutism" as a non-intellectual way to defend unfairness. Everyone sees what you are doing, so you are not actually persuading anyone. I suppose you are just working for applause from your own side.
