Seriously, though, I do acknowledge that both sides are capable of believing things without evidence to people they dislike. It's just the Dems are guilty more recently.

That's not whataboutism unless this is whataboutism:

"True, when it's a Democrat that's accused of something. When Republicans are accused, then who cares what the evidence is"

The issue is not really about whether "both sides" believe things without evidence.

Rather, the issue Trump supporters raise is NOT believing WITH evidence, not rumors, but very public evidence provided by Trump himself.

Both sides aren't doing that. Any more than both sides are manufacturing murder conspiracies about the other side's candidates.

While I am on the subject, manufactured murder conspiracies don't become "evidence" no matter how long or how often they are repeated.

When Dems (and reasonable Republicans) dismiss murder rumors for LACK of evidence, that does not illustrate a double standard.

Believing Clinton murder rumors without evidence is the flipside of disbelieving Trump behavior WITH evidence.
