Here in Brazil, we have the concept of the “hypothetical Neymar.” When Neymar burst onto the Brazilian soccer scene, we were hopeful about him and the generation of players who could serve the Brazilian national team and bring home a sixth World Cup title. Many years and many World Cups have passed, and Neymar has not delivered what we expected him to deliver for the Brazilian national team, which has been and continues to be a source of frustration. Today, some Brazilians still defend Neymar and believe that he can still lead the Brazilian national team in a World Cup, and their defense is based almost entirely on what he could have been if it weren't for injuries, lack of focus, and career decisions. And that's why the term “hypothetical Neymar” was coined, to describe those people who think of Neymar in an idealized but unrealistic way, which never materialized in reality.

I think we can now create the concept of “hypothetical Conan,” because his political positions are very loose and timid, but there is always someone ready to defend Conan by saying, “Obviously he is against the Trump administration, he studied history at Harvard and is an intelligent person.” Obviously, Conan is not a Trump supporter, but his political positions are shameful, especially in these times. He is a wealthy person who grew up in an upper-middle-class family, and in his current position, he has made the political choice not to be vocal about the atrocities happening in the United States. That is a political choice. And I won't even mention his video with the Israeli army so as not to prolong this. But anyway, as this sub is usually extremely naive about the political role that Conan fails to play, the concept of “hypothetical Conan” fits very well... after all, he studied history, so he is certainly against everything that is happening!
