Jingoism. Meant as an insult for being patriotic. I guess I am a proud jingoist.

“I don’t hear anyone use the term “at the end of the day” except for democrats and I truly hate it!”

I hate that one, too. Mom’s generation said “when all is said and done..”. Same thing.

There are phrases from the Beltway echo chambers that have an effect of running fingernails across a chalkboard.

“At the end of the day ...”

“Don’t allow the perfect be the enemy of the good ....”

etc.

And now one of the most recent which I pray will die a quick death:

“Alt-Right ...”

as a euphemism for ‘White Supremacy’.
