A sentence I rarely deploy, but has the ability to stop most adults in their tracks is, "You aren't being the neighbor that Fred Rogers knew you could be." It works on Americans. I've never felt the need to deploy a social nuke on any foreigners.

I almost used a Fred Roger’s quote for evil, before I caught myself. It was a thread about maga groupies abusing government power for personal agenda. Someone was lamenting how the Supreme Court made this administration above the law, so I almost said “Look for the helpers”. All those groupies and minions are NOT above the law and should face justice for their actions. As long as the charges are brought in three years, it could happen. Perhaps mass jail terms for everyone depriving human rights or violating the constitution or enriching themselves at our expense or following personal agendas will keep this situation from happening again

Ouch, that line sure as hell would work on me! But I'm not just an American who watched his show. I'm local to his area and I've been to the actual studios at WQED multiple times, on top of all the show artifacts I just saw the other day.
