Post your favorite liberal arts&craft cliches. I'll start with the one I'm partial to.

Without fail, some PMC or boring white guy will rock up with a sign like:

"this is literally the last thing I want to be doing. I am an endless well of lethargy, a monument to near-total apathy. Alas, the incompetence of those in charge has forced even my refined detachment into the streets. So here I stand, spiritually degraded, holding this sign like some kind of activist, a word that, until now, I associated with some kind of transient tempter of the youth. Can we hurry this up? every second spent protesting is a grotesque violation of my sacred right to passive despair, but alas, here we are, because apparently, even my cynicism has limits. Enjoy my grudging presence, you exhausting idealists."

Stalin and Trump are passionately making out with lots of tongue while the statue of liberty is in the corner weeping

"Im not homophobic, Trump just kisses up to putin"

I remember a ton of "ha ha theyre gay" in his first term, as if it was some sort of jab or punchline.
