I really don’t need no light to see through you

I really don’t need no light to see through you. — A brutal way to tell someone that they are absolutely transparent. This idiom entered popular culture in 1982 as a result of the quite danceable late disco track by the same name sung by vocalist Jeffery Osborne.

A useful insult in an age of MAGA Republicanism.

A more contemporary version of this is insult is the more versatile “I see you” — which can either be an insult or a statement of deep connection and engagement.
When Dolt 45 says that if he’s elected he will be MAGA’s retribution, I’ll just say this: I really don’t need no light to see through you, Donnie.
