I’ve been reading Kai Bird’s Jimmy Carter biography, and the Camp David negotiations between Sadat and Begin are a prime example of the “it’s so over/we’re so back” dynamic. Days of intense ups and downs throughout which, at many points, either or both parties were ready to walk, finally culminating in a hopeful “we’re so back” moment of apparent triumph for Carter...followed then by a long, slow realization that, at least as far as the possibility of getting Israel to pull out of the West Bank went, it had actually never been anything but so, so over.
This blog is so back.

I think the it's over we are back phrase comes back even earlier, to Jeb Bush of all people.

Interesting take. Thanks Max.
Any successful verbal maneuver between effect and affect deserves applause
👏 👏👏
even if it will go over everyone but the Writing professors’ heads.
(Cue Drax: nothing goes over my head. My reflexes are too fast. I would catch it.)
Thank you for calling this out because I skimmed right over it
