"But what about...?

When a right winger, Conservative, or
Republican attempts to avoid an issue by a weak deflection.
Example: "But what about...? these
parasitic corporations and the ultra wealthy who pay zero taxes from whom you take large campaign contributions?
You know the shadowy billionaire financial vampires who suck the wealth out of the system, keeping us all in a financially anemic state!

"But what about...? (Fill in lame deflection topic here) the people who commit fraud by going to food banks when they have resources? Those are

the ones who burden society!!
A "But what about...?" deflection can often be an outright lie, or something made up that is preposterous. The function is to get away from the point that cant be defended.

Let’s talk about it later

The phrase you say when you really don’t want to talk about something, and you never actually talk about it later. You just use it as an excuse.
Dad: Hey, what is this I saw on your search history!?
Aaron: Uhhh- I’m busy studying let’s talk about it later
