It's an attempt at equating both sides as being just as bad, in order to downplay how terrible one side is and make the other look worse.

The other side is calling those people nazis and fascists. Clearly both sides are just very rude to each other. --- Who is? I am! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Somewhere along the lines "both sides bad" became a catch phrase for those without any nuance whatsoever. It never meant "both sides equally bad", moreso "maybe the whole fucking thing needs looking at".
Someone somewhere benefits from the tribalism that allows and rewards the loudest of each faction immediately shutting down any discussion that's critical of the whole thing.
