One that comes to mind for me: “Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” is not always true. Maybe even only half the time! Are there any phrases you tend to hear and shake your head at?

      The MAGA street salesman I see on my way to work now has “KEEP America Great” merchandise and I’m super tempted to pull over and act super enthused that he supports Harris

        In Montana those people started labeling everything the “Biden-tester-harris agenda” 💀 like come on, they only added in the Harris part a couple weeks ago.

      I mean, if there wasn’t fourty years worth of context for why this is bad, I’d agree with it.

      Like, it could mean infrastructure projects or a renewed investment in education or something. But alas it honestly just means “destroy and loot America by deceiving uneducated rural whites” at this point.

      Clearly many of us would define that differently. Mine is probably equally fantasy, but it means working toward things we can be proud of, things that build a better future for all humans together, things that make a positive impact.
