First-term Rep. Becca Balint (D-Vt.) is leading a resolution to censure Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) over her controversial comments and actions, with the most recent being the Georgia Repub…
if there’s an inflection with appropriate stress, it’s a fairly sarcastic play on the phrase. “I could care less” says that they can care a little, but refuse to do so.
however, the way it’s used here doesn’t generally reflect that. and, if it isn’t used in response to direct question about level of care, then it is fully toothless as a phrase.
to be clear, you’re right; I’m just playing devil’s advocate about how that wording was intended to be used. when it’s overused without context, it’s a pointless play on words, and generally annoying to see written or spoken.
But, even in that use case they admit they could care less, and caring less not being worth the effort makes no logical sense as doing nothing (not caring) takes less effort than doing something (caring a little bit).
But seriously, we’ve got to get people like her and Bobo the Clown out of office. It’s a tragedy that they ever got in. Gatty Matty is also terrible, as is Cruise Controller, but the absolute idiocy of these Empty G and Bobe is stunning. Then again, I guess the pan taught me how large the portion of absolute morons we have in the population. It makes me sad.
I hate that saying it makes no sense at all. It’s couldn’t care less ya dumbasses
It basically means they care, albeit a little bit but it’s more than not at all. Frankly, I couldn’t care less.

I heard it as, “I could care less, but I’d have to try.” As in, it’s not worth the effort to care less about the topic.

The nonsensical nature is the point. Like saying someone’s last two brain cells are fighting over 3rd place.
That doesn’t work, neither does what the other guy said.
Meaning dumbass MTG is a dumbass.
