The rest drown. It actually did occur to me in the shower just how heartless (but also accidentally accurate) that old conservative political adage really is.

It also apparently originates from a christian saying, and spent a long time as a regional adage before JFK (or more accurately a speechwriter) turned it into an explicitly macroeconomic political message.
To the extent that it is used as a conservative political saying, that’s a fairly recent development, and one that is intentionally calling back to a moderate democrat.
OK, gonna have to stop you there. When and/or where has this ever been used by a conservative as a political saying? Whenever has any conservative, in the last 30 years (or more), had such dare to venture into such perilous foresight? I eagerly await the citations, but I think you’d be wasting your time to even look for them, because conservatives do not excitedly foresee such things.
OP said that. I was simply saying that IF they are saying that, it’s only as a reference to something said earlier.
No, OP did not say that.
Why would you tell such an obvious lie that is so easy to see is a lie?
Not sure where your misunderstanding is coming from, but the post, if you read any beyond the title, says:
Where is my lie?
You could start by quoting where OP said what you claim they did
I guess I’ll take the L for not being more clear initially.
Does this make up for my mistake?
I’ve often heard it used as a way to define a class of students in the educational space, whereby any influx of new information is the tide. The only thing we can do as our own shipmaster is to help the others patch their vessels as we all learn and grow together through the unspoken knowledge of the seas.
As one born where shoreman are the lifeblood of a community, the old adage fortunately isn’t as tainted as you’ve made concern.
It’s funny to read the different contexts in which people have encountered the quote. I first heard it from a hundred-millionaire Republican congressman, sorta chuckling to himself.
