‘Common sense’ catch phrase is catching: #TCOT crowd adores saying it

On Saturday I pointed out the newest conservative catch phrase, “common sense,” and suggested libs should just ... take it.

I’ve been listening. It seems to be used more by politicians on the far right. More interesting, talking points aren’t just for politicians anymore. When pols speak the tested words there’s an echo on the internet. Check out this feed of tweets mentioning “common sense” by users who employ the “TCOT” (top conservatives on Twitter) hashtag to filter their remarks.
