Stop telling me that "we will get through this together"

[Under The Radar]

Yes damnit, of course .... for those of us that don’t die, yes we will get through this.
I understand that is rhetoric designed to pull together a divided country but for that to work you must actually mean it. Don’t support rallies that only divides us further.

6. "If men were angels, no government would be necessary"

[Jamastiene]

2. I don't really feel like this is a "together"

type of situation. I know I'm on my own. It is going to be dog eat dog from here on out. I know I am definitely on my own.

3. I end up muting a lot of commercials

It's as if they were all making commercials using the language they thought they should, not realizing everybody else was doing the same thing - the net effect is to drive many of us slightly insane.

4. It's kind of a paradox

Social distancing is the opposite of "together".

8. 6 feet together

5. I have learned that when any politician says "we" he is not talking about me.

Their "we" is their major donors, their stock broker etc. Not me

9. Neither I when they say "what Americans want" doesn't come close to my wants

10. OMG, I know! "We have to pull together" or " we'll get through it together"

What do those even MEAN? In my experience, it's usually spoken by someone who is telling you that you have to do yet ANOTHER impossible task to keep your job during the lockdown. Someone who is NOT doing that impossible task with you, and who will likely give you little to no help to do that impossible task.

I feel like I'm going to scream every time I hear it.
