Whattaboitism is fundamentally about changing the subject.
And then you add to the soup realpolitic, and that has the added bonus of being a foreign word, and then we know it's a great idea, and then we maybe cascade to the point of understanding that people in power will do things to advance their ideas, even if they took 5 steps back to take 6 steps forward. And then you realize the people doing the thinking are human, and do I really trust the net calculation of 6 forward and 5 back, and not really, and then you realize those 5 backwards are legislation, and will be permanent.
