"But what about...?

When a right winger, Conservative, or
Republican attempts to avoid an issue by a weak deflection.

Example: "But what about...? these
parasitic corporations and the ultra wealthy who pay zero taxes from whom you take large campaign contributions?
You know the shadowy billionaire financial vampires who suck the wealth out of the system, keeping us all in a financially anemic state!

"But what about...? (Fill in lame deflection topic here) the people who commit fraud by going to food banks when they have resources? Those are

the ones who burden society!!
A "But what about...?" deflection can often be an outright lie, or something made up that is preposterous. The function is to get away from the point that cant be defended.

Get the "But what about...?mug.

We don't talk about AnderBeanGobbler.

We don't talk about him, no, no, no! We don't talk about him! BUT! It was my opening day It was our opening day We were getting ready, and there wasn't a bean in sight! No beans allowed in sight! Bean Gobbler walks in with a mischievous bib- BEAN LEAK!! You telling this REDACTED, or am I?I'm sorry, REDACTED, go on He says, "It looks BEANZ" Why did he tell THEM? In doing so, he fills my brain REDACTED, get the umbrellas Opened in a bean leak! What a horrid one... but anyways! We don't talk about #1 Bean Gobbler, no, no, no! We don't talk about him! Hey! Grew to live in fear of him screaming or eating I could always hear him sort of crunching and grumbling I associate him with the sound of screams, AH-AH-AH! It's a heavy lift, with a mouth so hungry Always left REDACTED and the COMPANY? fumbling Grappling with weirdness they couldn't fathom Do you understand? A seven-foot leak Beans along his bib When he calls your NAME? It all fades to dark Yeah, he smells your beans.. And feasts on the beans! (NOOO!) We don't talk about BEAN GOBBLER, no, no, no! (We don't talk about HIM, no, no, no!) We don't talk about him! (we don't talk about him!!) He told me rats would come, The next day: AHHHHHHHHHHH! (No, no!) He told me I'd grow an addiction! And just like he said... (no, no!) He said that all my beans would get eaten, now where are my beans! (no, no! Hey!) Your fate is sealed when your bean cans are stolen!

Basically, if you have a friend that eats too many beans, call them an AnderBeanGobbler. If they steal your beans, that's one too! They also correct you by saying "you're*" in an argument. If any of those fall down to their categories, you know that's an AnderBeanGobbler! We don't talk about AnderBeanGobbler.

Get the We don't talk about AnderBeanGobbler.mug.

And we can talk about that...

After you elect me though... You gotta elect me and then I won't avoid your question... But for now I'm gonna just avoid that one... Because I clearly utilized my governmental power to punish my ideological enemies... I clearly did the thing your questiones whether or not I did...

Hym " 'And we can talk about that... Later... AFTER you give me all the money and the power... THEN I'll tell you how I'm going to use...' That's a quote kind of... I'm paraphrasing... But it DOESN'T really sound like something I would say... I would probably just tell the truth."
