'False equivalency!' seems to be a popular new phrase to prevent self-reflection. If the CA situation is only bad insofar as it helped the GOP, then that's fine, but if you're interested in broader change regarding privacy then a knee-jerk partisan supremacy won't benefit anyone.

It’s not a new phrase. Perhaps you’re seeing it more due to the flood of textbook false equivalencies from people trying to defend the president’s behavior.
