My country has a History of voting or empowering scumbags so there is nothing North Americans can teach us asbout it.
But since you want to go there, whataboutism is an awful debating strategy because by using it you are conceeding your position sucks, and then you try to convince it just sucks less than the alternatives. This might be viable, but if this was a court it would be considered Affirmative Defense, which nearly everybody agrees is an awful thing. "Sure, I confess I stole that million dollar, but I can cling to a flimsy exception in the law that may save my butt. Now I need to prove the exception applies, instead of having you force to prove I stole the money."
This is made worse by the fact the average Trump supporter can just entrench and say "Things were so good with Trump that I don't mind if he is a criminal or not." This is an utilitarian response (Utilitarism being a pilar form many Socialist movements by the way, so it would be a bit hypocritical to argue against it). Trump supporters pride themselves in being able to defend the Trump administration by pointing out its successes rather than having to resort only to tearing down ceaselessly at the opposition (which, quite frankly, is the only thing Democrats can do).
