I meant adding "In a sense" in front of a false statement, possibly accompanied with a "aren't we all?"

It's not false at all for me but I recognize that my opinion shouldn't be broadcasted as if it had any significance outside of myself

Trump has brought me immeasurable joy with his campaign.

If he makes my life so joyful as a candidate, just imagine how joyful it will be when he is president!

No, "some believe" is farting in the elevator and blaming it on someone else. It's a cowardly way to play devil's advocate or say something incendiary without getting your hands dirty that doesn't fool anyone.

"In a sense" is a cheap and easy way to look thoughtful and erudite while saying the most meaningless and idiotic poo poo.

in a sense is a viable shorthand for taking a statement that could reasonably be interpreted in ways different than intended and drawing attention to them

Perhaps this is lost on non native speakers
