Or people who say "Well, even a broken clock is right twice a day" with the implication that sure, they're often wrong but what if they aren't this time? Shouldn't we at least take them seriously just in case they randomly got it right? I've never wanted to physically shake someone so badly before.
I thought that expression is for when they're unexpectedly right about something, like MTG and releasing the Epstein files.
It is, but the point of the expression is (I think) that you shouldn't give credence to an unreliable source just because they happen to call one correctly, e.g. "I know that clock says 2:15 and it's actually 2:15 now, but that's just a coincidence because the clock always says 2:15, don't be bamboozled into thinking the clock sometimes gives useful information, it does not. It is never to be relied upon, even if it is 2:15, because there's no way to tell just from that clock. Use a different one". MTG deserves zero respect or credibility just because she happens to be "right" (for now) about the Epstein affair, because she has demonstrated so clearly in the past that she prioritizes saying what will keep her in office over any genuine concern for protecting children from violence. People say "but even MTG wants the Epstein files released" like it is some barometer of the clarity of the situation, but it also carries the implication that Greene's opinion suddenly carries weight. NO it does not, fuck that clock and fuck MTG, no one should care at all what she thinks, on any issue.
Yeah, but what if she's also right about the Jewish space lasers? /s
