There is no phrase clever enough to convince any american who doesnt already say they care about politics to say they care about politics.
The people who say this only care about themselves, and will not change until it directly affects them. What we should be striving for is ensuring it affects them.
My use of that phrase was inspired by it’s use in the Vtuber community, a community that is normally extremely hostile to discussing politics (this is one of the things I like about it, but because I already spend a lot of time on politics, not because I’m running from it entirely) after it was affected by tarrifs. So yeah you’re right about that.
